Description

This is a fresh, crisp, unopened copy of this album that was re-released for Record Store Day this year, and has since become one of the most heavily sought-after releases from this year, with good reason. It's a bit of a 'missing album', the original version was incredibly rare, and expensive, to come by. This version, of which only 700 copies were made, you could only get by queueing up and hoping it hadn't sold out. Anyway. as the sticker on the packaging says,  - 50th anniversary reissue
- "Impossibly rare cult classic LP"
- Remastered at Abbey Road
- Heavyweight vinyl + download card

He's recently had a resurgence amongst music fans, so this is a great chance to own a copy of the rare album that first got him credit.
Often labelled as enigmatic, Bill Fay’s loyal cult following has grown significantly over the years. Signed to Decca, the singer-songwriter and pianist released two albums in 1970 and 1971; their haunting, darkly shadowed songs were never meant to appeal to the masses, even at the height of the psychedelia-streaked introspection sparked by the soul-searching and ravaging events of the day. The title track, Time of the Last Persecution, was written in an immediate and visceral response to the killings of four students at Kent State.

However, Fay’s records fell into obscurity, and he virtually vanished from music for more than two decades. Producer Joshua Henry, who had grown up listening to Fay’s early albums from his father’s record collection, tracked down and finally persuaded the reclusive songwriter to record again and hired Matt Deighton to assemble a studio band.
The end result, Life Is People, appeared in August of 2012. Fay played live shows, but maintained his privacy. He released a follow-up, Who Is the Sender? in 2015, and a third album, Countless Branches in 2020. Among his fans are musicians including Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, and The War On Drugs. All three albums received universal critical
