'Diamond Head' was Phil's first solo
project. Recorded in 1974 and 1975, it was released to widespread critical
acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic in early summer 1975. Featuring several
Roxy colleagues, the ubiquitous Brian Eno, his previous band 'Quiet Sun' and a
host of top British musicians, 'Diamond Head' is a classic mixture of great
songs and top performances. But don't just take our word for it! Read all the reviews, from Rolling Stone to Melody Maker (or from the Western Evening Echo to the Austin Sun, if you'd prefer).
