Artist:
The Sun Also Rises
Title:
The Sun Also Rises
Details:
Another acid folk delicatessen from The Village Thing catalogue, The Sun Also Rises was recorded by Graham Hemingway (vocals, guitar) and Anne Hemingway (vocals, dulcimer, glockenspiel, vibes, percussion). They were occasionally joined by John Turner (string bass, finger-picked & with a bow) and Andy Legget (whistle on one of the songs). It features an amazing tapestry of acid folk sounds with great male/female vocal harmonies. On the sources of this record you will hear echoes of The Incredible String Band, Comus, C.O.B or Tir Na Nog, but of course delivered with the own personality of this Cardiff duo, very hippie sounding with a very trippy athmosphere. It is really a delicatessen for your ears! The album was originally released in 1970, and our reissue will include one bonus track not on the original release, taken from a 1972 Village Thing sampler. Comes in beautifully reproduced artwork in nice matt finish. Not only a top listener, but also a beautiful addition to your acid folk collection. Remember it's just 500 copies, it will run away fast! Comes an insert with the lyrics.
Info: Reissue of three forgotten masterpieces from the UK's legendary folk label THE VILLAGE THING, founded in the late sixties by Bristol singer/guitarist Ian A. Anderson, Bristol's Troubadour Club manager John Turner and Saydisc label owner Gef Lucena. The two dozens of albums released by the label are nowadays sought after by many folk afficionados and collectors, and change hands for high prices. Plenty of strangely beautiful acid folk / singer-songwriter stuff these will be limited reissues of 500 copies only
Label: Wah Wah
