PICTURES

so please be patient as they load.)

All text is from the concept album liner notes ...


Time is dedicated to the memory of my Mother and father, without whom it may never have been conceived.

A dream begins with an idea and then, with belief and a lot of hard work and with luck on your side it becomes a reality.

TIME has been my dream for over five years.
I started working on the book and music in 1980 - my initial idea being to try and combine the visual excitement and energy of rock music with the dramatic appeal of theatre.

I produced first a demo recording of the entire musical. On the strength of this an amazing array of stars agreed to record the songs for the concept album -
Stevie Wonder, Freddie Mercury, Julian Lennon, Dionne Warwick, Burt Bacharach, Ashford & Simpson, Murray Head, Leo Sayer and of course Laurence Olivier and Cliff Richard.

While recording the album I took special care to match the performance of the artist to the character portrayed in the musical.



For the part of Akash, the ultimate word in truth, I obviously needed an actor with great authority and I was very lucky to find such a special star as Laurence Olivier. We worked on this part together for a long and I recorded his 'appearance' over a period of eight weeks. It has been a great privilege to work with him.


During this time I was also assembling the production team who would transform the script into a reality.I was particularly keen to enlist John Napier as designer, Larry Fuller as director and Arlene Phillips as choreographer and Mike Moran as production musical director as I have admired their work for many years.


They are just four of the many wonderful, talented people along the way who have helped turn this dream into a reality. To all of them, and to my friends who have given me their love and support, my endless thanks and gratitude.You've made it all worthwhile.




I would also like to dedicate TIME to the peacemakers of all time. Their inspiration inspired me, and I hope will continue to inspire others to make our world a safer place for our children and our childrens children.

Dave Clark

BEFORE E-MAILING PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO CD AVAILABLE
Unfortunately, the only album that was recorded was the concept album. No cast album was ever made. The concept album was only released on record and audio tape and went out of print before CD's were popular. Therefore, it was never transferred onto CD and has never been available in this format. MP3's had not yet been invented when the music went out of print so it is likewise not available.
The records and audio tapes have been out of print since the late 1980's and cannot be found or purchased except in private collections.
Occasionally people who have contacted this site have been able to find copies on eBay or similar auction sites. If you are interested in getting a copy of the record or audio tape for yourself you might try there.
Good luck!
