"The Great Lost Twilley Album" was the third and final album from the Dwight Twilley Band, recorded in 1974 through 1980 and released in 1993 on Shelter Records. The basic band consisted of Dwight Twilley (guitar, piano, lead and harmony vocals), Phil Seymour (drums, bass, percussion, lead and harmony vocals on the Dwight Twilley Band songs), and Bill Pitcock IV (lead guitar); other musicians include Leon Russell, Tom Petty and Susan Cowsill. Most of the production is credited to Twilley and Seymour, although some other producers who worked on songs on the record include Jack Nitzsche, Leon Russell, Robin Cable and Chuck Plotkin.

Background

The songs on "The Great Lost Twilley Album" come from four distinct recording periods. the band's first Tulsa and Los Angeles sessions for Shelter Records in 1974 and 1975 (seven songs), a recording session produced by Robin Cable at Trident Studios in London (four songs), the period between "Sincerely" and "Twilley Don't Mind" (eight songs) and the solo Dwight Twilley recording sessions for "Blueprint" (six songs).

Although the band broke up in 1978, 15 of the 25 tracks included herein are from the unreleased albums "Fire" (which ultimately was released in altered form as "Sincerely") and various editions of "The B Album". Of the rest, two of the songs are the original mixes of the first Twilley Band single ("I'm On Fire" b/w "Did You-C-What Happened?"), two of the songs are demo tracks from the band's "Twilley Don't Mind", two were released as solo singles by Dwight Twilley, and four were intended for the unissued Dwight Twilley solo album "Blueprint". Thus, 19 of the 25 songs feature the Dwight Twilley Band, while six are solo Dwight Twilley numbers. Some of the other Cable-produced numbers ended up as bonus tracks on the CD issue of "Sincerely". All in all, only two Cable-produced numbers are believed to have never been released: versions of "Sky Blue" and "Shark (In The Dark)", which appear on this collection in alternate recordings.

Shortly after the release of "The Great Lost Twilley Album" by DCC Compact Classics in 1993 through a licensing deal with Shelter Records, Shelter was purchased by EMI, and this album soon went out of print. Dwight Twilley has been quoted as saying that "The Great Lost Twilley Album" will be the last major release of previously unreleased Dwight Twilley Band numbers, due to "legal reasons."
