A Progressive Pop Duet

Annie Haslam & Roy Wood’s “I Never Believed In Love” 7-inch vinyl single, was released in the UK on October 28, 1977, on Warner Bros. Records (catalogue: K 17028). Backed with “Inside My Life,” this whimsical progressive pop track, written by Roy Wood, was the lead single from Haslam’s debut solo album Annie In Wonderland. Produced by Roy Wood, the song featured Haslam’s ethereal vocals and Wood’s multi-instrumental flair, blending folk, pop, and psychedelia, but it failed to chart. Housed in a Warner Bros. company sleeve, the single is a charming artifact of their brief collaboration.
