[edit] History

Source:[1]

Lifemask is a 1973 album by Roy Harper. "Some of the songs comprised the soundtrack for the movie Made which was on general release at the time. I co-starred with Carol White. There was a bath scene in which everyone got to see my bum. Unfortunately the film is no longer available, but I'm sure that there are some long memories out there able to recall other bum excursions." Roy Harper ^[1]

[edit] Miscellanea

The John Mackenzie directed film, Made, was the story of the relationship between a young single mother and an insecure rock star, 'Mike Preston' played by Harper. The film featured excerpts from "The Lord's Prayer", a live excerpt from "Highway Blues", a live session of "Little Lady" and "Bank Of The Dead" (a.k.a. "The Social Casualty" and "Valerie's Song") sung with alternate lyrics.

In 1987 Awareness Records released a cassette of Lifemask (AWT 1007) containing 4 extra tracks. These tracks can also be found on the 1990 Awareness Records CD (AWCD 1007).^[2]
