John's finest album until the 1995
Premature Adulation. Drummer John Halsey toured with Otway & Ollie for this album although he didn't play on it.

Scraps 2003 [CD 1 of 3]

When Love's in Bloom was recorded at Olllie's house, probably in the same makeshift 'studio' where he did the original version of Travelling Show [from the Caves album].

Superbly packaged TRIPLE album of previously unreleased tracks, demos & rarities. The 1979 Ollie & Otway section has become known as WAY & HAL since rather inferior versions of these Otway/Halsall compositions surfaced 3 years later on OtWAY & BARrett's WAY & BAR album. Ollie contributes guitar, bass, drums & violin to his own production which is little short of a masterpiece.

This new album of previously unreleased recordings by Ollie Halsall is now available from Market Square Records [MSMCD 145].

The material, which includes nine Halsall originals, dates from a 1980 colaboration with drummer John Halsey and is completed by some very unusual extra recordings.

Multitrack demos from 1979

Included at this point since it owes its very survival to Otway who later recorded Door to Door Daughter & Travelling Show. This collection of 1979 demos remains, effectively, Ollie's only solo effort and an intensely satisfying album

Ollie & John Halsey's brief contribution to one of the strangest albums of all time, compiled by Morgan Fisher, former Love Affair and Mott The Hoople keyboardist. Morgan played on Otway's Where Did I Go Right album and tour [with Ollie & John Halsey] and now lives in Japan, producing some fascinating work. Check here
