EIRE APPARENT - Sunrise - IRL Press - LISTEN - VERY RARE

This excellent album, released in spring 1969, was produced by Jimi Hendrix! More importantly, the brilliant guitarist appears on as many as 9 tracks, where he either played solo parts or embellished them in his own way. But even without Hendrix's involvement it would have been a great, psychedelic album (sometimes lighter, sometimes heavier...) combining nice, catchy melodies with professional performance - as befitted 1969. The 6-minute, almost epic "Mr. Guy Fawkes", meanwhile, is one of the best psychedelic pieces I have heard in my life! I find it a little hard to understand how such good material went almost completely unnoticed! Fans of Tomorrow, Pretty Things, Grapefruit (from the debut period) and of course the Jimi Hendrix Experience cannot function properly without this record! Excellent sound quality! A MUST!
