Born in London, raised in Gibraltar, he spent the early seventies writing with Mike Hazlewood and cutting his own records — \"It Never Rains in Southern California\" went top five in America in 1972 — before settling into a second career as one of pop's most reliably employed songwriters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this collection unusual is the \"and Friends\" half of the title. Alongside Hammond's own performances, it gathers hit versions by the artists who took his songs elsewhere: The Hollies with \"The Air That I Breathe,\" Leo Sayer with \"When I Need You,\" Tina Turner with \"I Don't Wanna Lose You,\" and Dutch singer Albert West joining him on \"Give a Little Love.\" Set beside \"The Free Electric Band,\" \"I'm a Train\" and \"99 Miles from L.A.,\" it makes the case for a catalogue that quietly shaped fifty years of radio. Hammond's son Albert Jr. plays guitar in The Strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSony Music, 180-gram vinyl, European pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA1 It Never Rains In Southern California\u003cbr\u003eA2 I Don't Wanna Die In An Air Disaster\u003cbr\u003eA3 I Don't Wanna Lose You\u003cbr\u003eA4 Down By The River\u003cbr\u003eA5 When I Need You\u003cbr\u003eA6 To All The Girls I've Loved Before\u003cbr\u003eA7 New York City Here I Come\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 The Free Electric Band\u003cbr\u003eB2 I'm A Train\u003cbr\u003eB3 The Air That I Breathe\u003cbr\u003eB4 Everything I Want To Do\u003cbr\u003eB5 Half A Million Miles From Home\u003cbr\u003eB6 The Peacemaker\u003cbr\u003eB7 99 Miles From L.A.\u003cbr\u003eB8 Give A Little Love\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Import","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49338865352942,"sku":"198028823616","price":476.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/0928\/files\/e5f10caac157ca9f0e2971456338128b.webp?v=1785522911","url":"https:\/\/www.indievinylden.com\/en-mx\/products\/albert-hammond-friends-his-ultimate-collection-vinyl-record","provider":"Indie Vinyl Den ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
