David McWilliams - The Days Of David McWilliams David McWilliams : The Days Of David McWilliams RPM225
An Irish folk rock artist who in 1967 released three albums of his own material on the Major Minor label. An amazing period of productivity matched by the amazing consistency of quality throughout all the material he wrote and recorded. Musically he backed himself on 6 and 12 string guitar with further arrangements and orchestration provided by the then wunderkind producer Mike Leander.

The combination of McWilliams heartfelt lyrics and songstyle with Leanders evocative arrangements of the simple melodies still sound bewitching today. 'The Days Of Pearly Spencer' was covered by Marc Almond in the early 90's and 'Three O'Clock Flamingo Street' is another radio favourite.

Released on 25/03/10. Volume Four in our successful series exploring the archive of songs and songwriters once signed to Apple Music.

Favourites are present again in songs from the pens of George Alexander and Gallagher & Lyle. The majority however are new to the series including some terrific previously unreleased full recording demos from Promise and Contact.

Known names crop up too with Timon, Brute Force, the Fourmost, Stefan Grossman. Also the Focal Point make a welcome return after appearing on Volume One of this series. Since when a book on their experiences has been published which in turn is at the shooting stage of becoming a movie! It’s the music that keeps us gripped though. Classic slices of late 60 s pop much of it psych tinged with mellotron, swirling strings, heavy organ, fey vocals, fantastic lyrical imagery, English whimsy.
