Don Platt - Sunday (Very rare amazing 1971 US Private Loner Folk LP)

 

Amazing LP privately released by this US singer-songwriter in 1971.
A very great LP from start to finish.
All original compositions !

"Here is a very rare LP released in New York State in 1971.
The music is downbeat, evocative and somewhat crude-sounding folk."
(eBay seller's review)

"No-label release from 1971 recorded in New York. Mostly solo acoustic guitar and vocals with an introspective, melancholy feeling in several places."
(another eBay seller's review) 

Listen :   A6 Why Did You Love Me  &  A1 Sunday   &   B6 Running Away From the World 

 

Very scarce and very great LP ... in a flawless condition ... don't miss it !

The Troubadors - Ned o' the Hill (Rare 1975 UK Psych Folk masterpiece issued on Silver Hill)

 

This is the only album recorded by The Troubadors, a Birmingham based folk ballad and harmony group. Recorded in Harlesden, London in early December 1974, this album represented a departure from the music they built their reputation on, learning 8 new songs out of the 10 tracks on the album.
The band members included lead singer, Pat Mulligan, Johnny Foley (d. 2007), Jimmy O'Donnell, Gerry McElroy and Dave Trueman. They played mainly in the Midlands as well as in Liverpool, Leeds, Newport and Cardiff, as well as Oxford etc.

This album is a pure, clean and tightly produced combination of popular and more rarely recorded songs. It was released in October 1975 and was well received. In 1975, Terry Wogan chose this album as his record of the week on his highly regarded and popular Radio 2 Breakfast show.
No higher recommendation is needed to commend this fine album.
Do yourself a favour and grab yourself a copy !

Stephen Raley - Won't You Hurry Us Home ... Wish We'd All Been Ready (Excellent 1972 US Xian Loner Folk LP on Angelus)

 

Totally obscure Californian loner folk psych issued on Angelus (same label than Fraction).
Deep introspective vocals with a Perry Leopold feeling.
Very rare album ... and a little masterpiece !

 Listen :  A1. Won't You Hurry Us Home

 B1 Silent and Lonely  

 B5 Souls to Give 

 A2 I Could Just Go On Living  

 A6 Woman at the Well & B4 Cobblestone 

Recently discovered excellent early 1970's Xian folk LP released on the Angelus label.
This is (in my opinion) one of the 10 most significant Christian folk records ever released.
About half the tracks have a darker Tim Buckley-like loner folk edge, but really the whole thing is great. 
This would certainly be listed in Acid Archives if they ever did a 3rd edition.

A rare and wonderful LP in a flawless condition ! Don't miss this one !

Listen :  B4. Mémoire d'un temps présent &  A1. Un roi  &  A5. Pour Suzanne  & A4. Les yeux fermés  &  A2. Malade
