All Around My Hat Album Playlist

  “All Around My Hat” came out in the Autumn of 1975 and went to number five in the singles chart. The album of the same name followed and was a huge success, reaching number seven in the UK album charts. The New Musical Express ran a front page headline “All Around Mike Batt” to herald a fly-on-the-wall feature written by Charles Shar Murray after a visit to air studios when we had been working. The piece was very positive and I came out of it as the guy who wasn’t at all a bad producer, despite being a Womble.

 

There followed a second album, ROCKET COTTAGE, which was successful, but not as big a hit as its ppredecessor. I very much enjoyed my times working on these two albums with the band”
