Description
Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the release of a new re-mastered and expanded edition of the legendary album Songs of Love & Praise, recorded by the UK band Nirvana in 71. Originally issued on the Philips label in 1972, Songs of Love & Praise was the second album to be issued under the Nirvana name to feature writer, vocalist & producer Patrick Campbell Lyons in sole charge of a recording project, following the amicable departure of writing partner Alex Spyropoulos some months before, following a trio of innovative Nirvana albums for Island Records & Pye Records & a UK hit single in the song ‘Rainbow Chaser’. After the more “progressive� leanings of the album Local Anaesthetic (issued in March 1971), Songs of Love & Praise saw Campbell Lyons take the Nirvana project in a more song based direction, even revisiting two Nirvana songs from the late 1960s in re-arranged form, Rainbow Chaser & Pentecost Hotel. The album also guest contributions from a variety of musicians, including the band Jade Warrior. The reissue has been newly remastered from the original Philips master tapes & includes two rare bonus tracks (both B-sides of singles) both of which appear on CD for the first time, Lazy Day Drift & Ad Lib (which was issued under the pseudonym of Pica). The booklet features an essay by Malcolm Dome featuring an exclusive interview with Patrick Campbell Lyons.
