Voici ce que je cherche depuis très longtemps : des démos d'un obscur groupe , Baby Face, réunissant Ritchie Blackmore à la guitare , Phil Lynott à la basse et au chant et Ian Paice à la batterie. Paul Rodgers fut même approché pour assurer les vocaux. Datant de 72 , Blackmore estima que ces démos ne le satisfaisaient pas et le groupe , à peine constitué , disparut dans la nature.
Many years later, a greatest hits package called "Ritchie Blackmore's Best Tracks" included a track called "GUITAR JOB" performed by "the mysterious band BABY FACE" featuring Phil Lynott playing bass, and listed as a 1972 recording. In addition to PHIL, the band was rumoured to consist of IAN PAICE, PAUL RODGERS and RITCHIE BLACKMORE. Little more is known about BABY FACE, although Ritchie Blackmore has confirmed the short existence of the band.
A couple of years ago RITCHIE BLACKMORE gave an interview to a Greek magazine, and among the questions he was asked, beyond the main story, was about his work with Philip Lynott. He confirmed that they had made some demos, and they named themselves BABY FACE, but after a couple of days playing together at someone's home, they decided not to work together, because they didn't like the results. He also mentioned that he did not feel the demo's were high enough quality to ever release.
Maybe some day Blackmore will release an all emcompassing box set that will include those demos. I mean if they thought enough to put "studio chatter" on the anniversery discs, why not some raw demos of two great talents working together.
