Five Day Rain — Five Day Rain 1970 (UK, Psychedelic/Folk Rock)
  • last year
The only and rarest (before its re-release) album by an English band. The band is led by Scottish keyboardist/vocalist Graham Maitland. By no means a novice in music, his track record already included “Scots Of St. James", "Hopscotch" and "Fleur De Lys". The album was prepared at a small London studio IBC in 1969, but the label turned out to be not interested in it, and only fifteen copies of the vinyl were released! They played an intricate mixture of progressive, psychedelic and melodic beats.
