Bram Tchaikovsky (born Peter Bramall, 10 November 1950, Lincolnshire, England) is a British vocalist and guitarist. He first came to prominence as a member of UK punk/pub rock band, The Motors, whom he joined in 1977.〔 After he left them, he led an eponymous power pop band, with Micky Broadbent (bass, keyboards) and Keith Boyce (drums).〔 The group scored a US Top 40 hit single on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in 1979, with "Girl of My Dreams". In the Netherlands, "Sarah Smiles" was a minor hit, reaching number 32 in April 1979.〔(www.top40.nl )〕 Nick Garvey and Denis Forbes were also involved in later band lineups.〔 After disappointing sales, the band split up in 1981 and Tchaikovsky left the music industry.〔 Tchaikovsky was also credited with cowriting "Solid Ball of Rock", from the 1991 Saxon album of the same name. ==Re-releases== In 1998, as part of a "British Rock" reissue series, WEA Japan rereleased both ''Strange Man Changed Man'' and ''The Russians Are Coming'' albums on CD, using original master tapes and artwork. In addition to the original artwork and liner notes, each CD contained extensive historical information, song lyrics and musical commentary (albeit in Japanese). These CDs were only available in Japan and are now out of production.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.unterzuber.com/bram.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.discogs.com/Bram-Tchaikovsky-The-Russians-Are-Coming/release/919491 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://coolalbumreview.com/?p=25139 )〕 ''Strange Man, Changed Man'' had been expanded to 21 tracks and included rare B-sides and live cuts. It is only available on the web. ''Strange Man, Changed Man'' included newly remastered tracks, featuring the hit single "Girl of My Dreams", the track "Lonely Dancer" (which were both written by Heavy Metal Kid Ronnie Thomas), and ten bonus tracks. The bonus tracks included hard-to-find singles, B-sides, and live tracks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.heavymetalkids.co.uk/bram.htm )〕 In December 2007, ''Strange Man, Changed Man'' was issued in the US on the Hip-O Select label (ASIN: B000ZIZ0ZC) in digital sound and with full artwork. This CD release used the original master tapes sequenced for the original US release; the track running order is therefore different from the original UK album, and different from the 1998 Japanese CD version.〔 In February 2012, a live recording, ''Live at the Lochem Festival, 1979'', appeared on Tiger Eye with the songs "Sarah Smiles", "Robber", "Nobody Knows", "Turn on the Lights" and "Girl of My Dreams".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bram-Tchaikovsky-Official/201890943246493?id=201890943246493&sk=app_96687436973 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bram Tchaikovsky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
