RARE PSYCH FOLK

Marc Ellington - Rains / Reins of Changes was issued in the UK in 1971 on B&C (Charisma) CAS 1033. 1st and only pressing.

Marc Ellington was a singer / songwriter whose performances and recordings made a significant contribution to the development of Folk/Rock. His collaborations with members of the Byrds, Fairport Convention and the Flying Burrito Brothers forged an important link between leading musical innovators on both sides of the Atlantic. From 1969 to 1973 Ellington recorded 5 solo LP’s and contributed to recordings by many other artists including Richard and Linda Thompson, Fairport Convention and Matthews Southern Comfort. These days Ellington is the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Aberdeenshire and lives at Towie Barclay Castle in the North East of Scotland. No longer performing, he now serves on the board of a number of Cultural and Heritage organisations and is involved in a range of major conservation and restoration projects throughout the UK and abroad.


"Marc Ellington inspired musicianship, great songs and the sheer cast of players featured. Marc Ellington's friendship with Fairport Convention and in particular Richard Thompson resulted in a collection of Fairport alumni on this recording. Not content with Thompson adding sizzling red hot guitar to many tracks , Daves Pegg and Mattacks together with the late great Sandy Denny also contribute! And this is not to omit Trevor Lucas, Pat Donaldson and Gerry Conway from the then Fotheringay line-up. But the clincher, (not to forget ex Fairporter Ian Matthews), is the presence of most of The Flying Burrito Brothers in the studio, presumably taking time off from some London gigs. Rick Roberts (vocals), Sneaky Pete on pedal steel and, ex Byrd, Chris Hillman (mandolin and vocals), mingle with our finest folk-rockers as if born for the occasion! So, the music can't be anything else but brilliant can it? Highlights however, are Thompson's fluid yet biting lead guitar on 'Days Used To Be Much Warmer' and the sheer exuberant vocals of 'Oh No! It Can't Be So.' But just listen to Roberts' and Hillman's heart-rendingly aching chorus on 'All the Times'. Buy it - call it Trans Atlantic fusion or what ever you will -it's superb!"
