Hello All!
Залит Anno_Domini/(1971)_On_This_New_Day
Заканчивает этот парад редкостей ещё одна ирландская группа, выпустившая этот единственный альбом.
Несмотря на такое "готическое" название, они играют такой себе бодрый фолк-рок в стиле Бердз. Не могу сказать, чтобы было очень интересно, оставляю только за редкость.

"Rare and sought-after UK psych-folk album from 1971. Formed in Ireland by Tiger Taylor (Ex Eire Apparent), their album makes one think of how The Byrds would have sounded had they been British. Mostly original songs, although they do a brilliant cover of 'So You Want To Be A Rock'n'Roll Star,' the record combines melodic folk tunes with other guitar-drenched rockers; great voices and delicious original songs. If you like The Byrds but are a fan of British psychedelia, this is for you. Limited edition of 500 copies with original artwork."

Lineup:
Dave Mercer - vocals, rhythm guitar, bass,
Kerry Scott - vocals, harmonica, percussion
Tiger Taylor - lead guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals
John Evan-Jones - guitar
Trevor Jones - bass
Formed by ex Teddie & The Tigers and Eire Apparent guitarist David 'Tiger' Taylor in Northern Ireland in 1970.
Anno Domini went through several lineup changes before arriving at the lineup which recorded their sole LP in 1971. This may or may not be the lineup pictured on the front cover of the UK edition. Only Mercer, Scott and Taylor are pictured and listed on the back cover of the German edition. The Jones brothers had previously been in Australian act Sweatty Betty.
Usually described somewhat inadequately as 'Byrds influenced', the LP has a post-psych meets early progressive feel, very melodic and folksy in parts but with lots of fuzz guitar work. The standout track is the over the top cover of "So You Want To Be A Rock'n'Roll Star" which kicks off side one but the album is strong overall and repays repeated listening. It's dismissed unfairly as bland in Tapestry of Delights.
The Deram pressing is extremely difficult to find these days and commands a high price on the collector's market. The German Polydor pressing housed in a completely different cover is somewhat easier to locate.
After the split, Tiger Taylor joined Billy Brown's band and was also with The Freshmen; the Jones brothers formed Jonesy who recorded for Dawn Records; Dave Mercer went solo; Kerry Scott later turned up in T.F.Much and Bruno AD.
