Chris Jones : "No Looking Back" -1LP

His unusual career began at the age of 14, when he was awarded the „Young Composer of the Year“ prize at the renowned Peabody Conservatory in Maryland, USA. By the early 1980s he had already made a name for himself with his unique guitar style, which ranged from sensitive ballad renditions to driving rockers, his soulful vocals and impressive songwriting talents. As well as countless recordings as a studio musician, Jones released three solo albums. Despite his death at the early age of 46, Chris Jones left a legacy which will be remembered long after he‘s gone." Steve Bakerh

In 1982, a 24-year-old guitarist named Chris Jones came to our studio in Northeim to record 10 songs for his first album. On a 2" tape recorder and mixer: Günter Pauler.

At that time, the marvelously creative collaboration between Stockfisch-Records and the ingenious guitarist Chris Jones began - and it should last more than two decades.

When Chris Jones's CD "moonstruck" was produced at Stockfisch in the winter of '99/2000, we decided to add the meanwhile out of print album "No Looking Back" to this album as Bonus-CD. On the occasion of the release Chris wrote: "My first LP (yes, it was before CDs existed!) "No Looking Back" is included in it's digitally re-mastered form 1982, other than me getting old and fat. The songs are still personal (maybe even more so, I've lived and learned a lot in these 17 years) and the music means just as much to me now as it did back then."
