Item Description
Anno Domini On This New Day Rarely seen on eBay....especially in this condition Deram SML-R 1085, 1971 Original Issue 1st Pressing UK Stereo run-off matrix : XZAL-10542.P-1W and XZAL-10543.P-1W Incredibly hard-to-find, this highly coveted Holy Grail and folk-rock-psych masterpiece a guaranteed original UK first issue/pressing features sizzling riffs from former Eire Apparent lead guitarist Tiger Taylor, some stunning fuzz and dual lead guitar work throughout, and multiple highlights .....including a superb version of The Byrds Rock n Roll Star .The album combines melodic folk tunes with guitar-drenched rockers, great vocal harmonies, 3 stunning covers and 7 delicious original songs.
Recorded late in 1970, the band s only LP was initially released only in the UK in April of 1971, but with little fanfare, no singles in the UK to promote the album and miniscule sales back home, the band did manage to stir up a little interest in Germany following some local touring there ....leading to the release of the much-more common German version of the LP later that same year Polydor 2310 096, which featured completely different cover artwork .Clearly influenced by The Byrds, the album begins with some absolutely killer dual-guitars on the McGuinn-Hillman classic So You Want To Be A Rock n Roll Star that, arguably, even manages to outshine the guitar work of McGuinn s original version.
Bad Lands Of Ardguth is full of ringing guitars, .....there are more awesome dual lead guitars on Cocker s Hitchcock Railway , ....then there s a heavy rockin version of Dion s little-known Daddy Rowlin .....and the album boasts several great melodic folky Mercer-Scott originals like The Trapper , June Tremayne and The Good Life I Have Known .Not a bad track on the album It s clear to see why this rarity is so highly covetedKerry Scott congas, harmonica, vocals , David Mercer rhythm guitar, bass, vocals , David Tiger Taylor lead guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals , John Evan-Jones lead guitar according to the liner notes of the Repertoire CD Reissue from 2006 which, incedently, sounds re-processed , the second lead guitarist John Jones joined the band only after this LP was recorded.
....If correct, this would suggest that the dual lead guitars on this album were over-dubbed by Tiger Taylor.
Yet, the original album artwork clearly shows four members, not three.Tracks: audio sample is from this actual vinyl pressingA1.
