Leírás
Pszichedelikus Folk-Rock, 1972-es album.
Limited edition 24 BIT technológiával remaszterizált CD újrakiadás 2 bónusz dallal, 2008.
A Mellow Candle két női énekese Clodagh Simonds és Alison Williams nem könyvelhetett el olyan kommerciális sikert ezzel a lemezével, mint ahogy azt a Fairport Convention vagy a Fotheringay tette hasonló kaliberű albumaival. Az együttes rövid története alatt a THIN LIZZY-vel (Simonds játszott a Lizzy-ben a „Shades of a Blue Orphanage” albumon) és a HORSLIPS együttesekkel közösen turnézott! Clodagh Simonds később Mike Oldfild zenekarában, majd a Jade Warrior artrock csapattal zenélt.
One of the World’s Rarest Folk LP`s, Beautiful Music, by Irish Folk Rockers Mellow Candle called „Swaddling Songs” released on UK Deram Label in 1972, completely overlooked at the time the last copy I saw for sale went for 3500 British Pounds, seriously Rare. Note it has a gatefold sleeve and was originally released on the Brown Deram Label.
By 1972, the lineup had expanded to include Dave Williams on guitar, Frank Boylan on bass, and William Murray on drums. With this lineup in place, the band released their only album, „Swaddling Songs” (Deram Records), which was commercially unsuccessful at the time. Over the years, however, the lone album by the band has received considerable critical acclaim and original vinyl copies are now very valuable. Boylan was later replaced by Steve Borrill (ex-Spirogyra), but shortly afterwards the band split up.
