Great Buildings - "Dream That Never Dies" (1981)

After the demise of The Quick, bandmembers Danny Wilde and Ian Ainsworth teamed up with Richard Sandford and Phil Solem to form the band Great Buildings. A marvelous album released in 1981 on Columbia Records called "Apart From The Crowd" was the result. This album has been a staple of our radio broadcast for almost three decades and it is a shame that the album has never been released in the digital age. No compact disc release and no digital download release. A crying shame...


There was no second album but Danny Wilde went on to record three albums of his own and with Phil Solem, released a fantastic set of musical gems as that powerhouse group, The Rembrandts.






Fellow MOGger Dermahrk also shares our love for the musical output of these guys. Check out his posts:
