ORIGINAL 1966 BRITISH TRANSATLANTIC FIRST PRESS

DAVID CAMPBELL
UK -Transatlantic Records TRA 141
RARE =MINT VINYL = Original 1966 first press on the highly collected British "Transatlantic" Records label
Guyanian born David Campbell, moved to England and worked on his solo singer/songwriter career beginning in the mid sixties and continuing on two decades later.
This, his very first recording is quite an unknown/obscure ‘underground’ UK-folk scene record. But collectors into the recordings of Bert Jansch & John Rembourne styles will find the album to be of a high quality and unique Contemporary Folk album that probably deserves a little more attention.... David Campbell is showcased on guitar & vocals accompanied by Martin Carthy, guitar; Jack Fallon, bass.
In the era of "swinging London" there was a talented songwriter who was more than flowery imagery. David Campbell mastered his form of songwriting accompanied by a "beautiful" voice & guitar to produce songs on his first album that were clear and simple as crystal, meaningful but compressed, profound but immediately comprehensible, striking and memorable. These are not merely "folk" songs, "protest" songs, or any pigeon holed style. The compositions are just good songs, the product of a widely experienced, sensitive, perceptive and literate person. They range for the simple expression of hope for freedom, in "We Know The Day Is Coming",; to the memory of a past love,"Green Alders"; a cynical reflection on the worlds fallen idols, "The Way Of The World" and a mature, hard headed but soft-hearted goodbye to a favorite city "Goodbye Stockholm" ... The songs all through the album were one mans personal testament in 1966 - as they are universal and overly enjoyable.
