William Chalker was a mysterious figure who wrote lyrics for several Wildwood songs. Chalker’s stark demos for some of those tracks are included here, along with four numbers with him singing lead, backed by an unknown band. The screaming “Death is a Horseman” is one of the most powerful songs of the entire set, a raging Hammond-stoked rocker that gathers an almost frightening momentum over its almost seven minute duration. As with all Frantic releases, Plastic People comes with a thick CD booklet featuring lots of photos and excellent liner notes by Alec Palao.
