{"product_id":"clowns-601570655838","title":"Clowns","description":"Overlooked 1971 album from classically trained British composer Ed Welch, featuring lyrics by American folk icon Tom Paxton. Welch's sophisticated arrangements, from refined orchestration to elegant piano-led melodies, meet Paxton's warm, inviting words across ten songs that move effortlessly between upbeat pop and tender balladry. Often compared to the Elton John\/Bernie Taupin partnership, the Welch-Paxton collaboration produced songs later covered by Cilla Black. This first-ever reissue, produced by Michael de Albuquerque and remastered by Prof. Stoned, includes two non-album A \u0026amp; B sides and an 8-page booklet with liner notes by Xander Pas and recollections from George and Michael de Albuquerque.","brand":"Think Like a Key Rec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46355561775187,"sku":"2786793X","price":14.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/4496084_91c8a839-ae1e-454c-95f1-af31ae4d317f.jpg?v=1790247141","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/clowns-601570655838","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
