Cair Paravel - Some Other Morning (LP)

Facts Related to Paradise Square (Never Thought I'd See the Day, SOMM 020 LP), Cair Paravel was the second project of singer/songwriter Pete Ryder, a key player on two of the most rare and sought-after private folk albums from the UK. This time, the band recorded at a real studio and the result was Some Other Morning, released in 1976 on the Koala label as a tiny edition of 250 copies. Hans Pokora rated this album at four stars, and it's easy to hear why: gorgeous, atmospheric folk with ethereal male-female vocals and magical atmosphere. Includes a superb cover of "Hill Climbing for Beginners," originally by Water Into Wine Band. This is the first ever reissue of this top rarity, and it features remastered sound, a reproduction of the original lyrics insert, and new liner notes by Richard Allen (Shindig!).
