The Eighteenth Day Of May - Gold Vinyl

GOLD VINYL. FINAL PRESSING LIMITED TO 200 COPIES. DELUXE REISSUE OF THE SOLE ALBUM BY THE EIGHTEENTH DAY OF MAY ON BI-COLOURED (LIME / SHERBET) VINYL. “Released on Joe Boyd’s Hannibal label here was a band rooted in Thompson/Swarbrick Fairport but also a snatch of the Velvet Underground and a sprig of The Byrds. The Eighteenth Day Of May evoked a legendary era, and now they are a justifiably legendary band too.” – KLOF Mag. This being the mid zeros, the independent music scene in the UK was reluctant to embrace a sun-dazed folk band but this, their sole album, has gradually feathered a bed of affection amongst international folk fans. Twenty years on, the album is now rightfully seen as a trailblazer for the myriad alternative/psych folk bands that emerged in its wake.
