Following his stint with Crazy World of Arthur Brown, the English bass guitarist Nicholas Greenwood joined the group Khan, who recorded an LP with Steve Hillage and Dave Stewart in 1972. That same year, he recorded his debut album at Sound Techniques in London. He was supported by eleven (!) musicians, who contributed to the recordings with two guitars, keyboards, wind instruments, violins, a viola, a cello, drums and harmonising vocals. Greenwood took on the vocals and played bass. His only solo album Cold Cuts was released in the Netherlands in 1973 on the Pink Elephant label in collaboration with Kingdom Records.

The result is a varied, Hammond organ-dominated and psychedelically influenced progressive rock album with jazz-rock elements. Strong rock guitars, bass-driven grooves and heavy psychedelic keyboard sounds form the foundation for his powerful vocals. The LP had been released a year earlier in England and France, where it was just as unsuccessful as it was in the Netherlands. This could well be down to the scandalous and provocative cover design, taken from Philippe Mora’s Pork Chop Ballad, which depicts a figure made of raw meat and bones sitting on a blue chair. It is not known how many copies of this album were pressed or sold, but it is certainly a highlight amongst the ultra-rare gems of British progressive rock. Also as an original Dutch pressing.
