8-Bit version of While You See A Chance, great song from Steve Winwood

“Arc of a Diver” is the second solo studio album by singer/multi-instrumentalist Steve Winwood, released in 1980. Winwood played all of the instruments on the album. This copy is on Island Records ILPS - 9576. Featuring his first solo hit, "While You See a Chance" (which peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States), this was Winwood's breakthrough album as a solo artist. It peaked at number 3 on the Billboard 200 album chart, establishing him as a commercially viable act. The cover artwork for the album is by Tony Wright. He took inspiration from Jazz by Henri Matisse, notably VIII: Icarus. #rockandroll #stevewinwood #islandrecords #theseventies #arcofadiver https://www.instagram.com/p/CLPtG7xLZFm/?igshid=1qopt9mfdu7ce

It's been a busy August so far. And I know that it's Wednesday, but there is always time for a #VinylAndBeerSunday. I decided to dive into ARC OF A DIVER from STEVE WINWOOD. I have always been a fan of WINWOOD's work with TRAFFIC and THE SPENCER DAVID GROUP. His solo work has been a bit hit or miss for me. But I find his second solo album, released in 1980, to be a robust and robust work from start to finish. The disc contains the hit WHILE YOU SEE A CHANCE. But there are also excellent tunes such as the title track, SECOND HAND WOMAN, and DUST. I have accompanied this superb set of songs with a fresh beer from BALE BREAKER BREWING COMPANY out of Moxie, WA. Their CLARITY RARITY IPA RELEASE NUMBER 2 is a new hoppy Hazy IPA with plenty of juicy flavors, including orange and tangerine peel. It's a glass of sunshine on an August evening. Highly recommend both the album and the beer. So....what are you listening to? What are you drinking? #vinyl #vinylcollection #stevewinwood #arcofadiver @stevewinwood #craftbeer #ipa #beerstagram #hazyipa #balebreakerbrewingcompany @balebreaker #clarityrarityrelease2 #beermusic (at Salem, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDiBR8PjPwA/?igshid=33y6op11cpyj

A round about way to get to this LP, but it was part of the Amoeba haul as well as Supertramp's first, which I heard Genesis and Steve Winwood and Traffic as possible influences. Didn't expect to connect those artists together when I was #cratedigging 😉With this LP, Winwood shows off by playing all the instruments as well as co-writing with #WillJennings a Top 10 hit on Billboard's Hot 100 with #WhileYouSeeAChance... #SteveWinwood #ArcOfADiver #1980 #IslandRecords #vinyl #vinylrules #vinyljunkie #vinyligclub #vinylcommunity #nowspinng #onmyturntable
