Notes

Original Fuchsia demo
("Tony Durrant Ensemble")

This is where it all started, the original demo recorded at West of England Sound in 1970, copied/rescued from the only remaining acetate recording (hence the surface noise). Slight differences to the album, like french horn in Tiny Book, & different backing vocals here and there. This was what we sent to Kingdom Records which they liked.

A lot of time spent arranging & writing, and gathering a group of fantastic people around me. I couldn't read/write music so all parts saved to a single track tape recorder. I wasn't at all sure about putting this out, due to its quality, but have been reassured there are many other releases of the era far worse! And people would be interested.

And I remembered only recently, the original intention of Fuchsia was to make it a hybrid band, one part heavier electric material, like part here, and its antithesis, a more gentle string based lyrical side. Our record label at the time encouraged us to pursue the Fuchsia style as everyone knows it today.

And so, England 2018 comes to an end. The gigs were brilliant, thanks to Fruits de Mer and friends. Fuchsia's only album is a reasonably interesting, if far from indelible, classical-tilted mix of early-'70s British folk-rock and progressive rock. Structurally and melodically, the songs most written by guitarist and lead singer Tony Durant are complex and unpredictably winding, not conforming to the usual formats and progressions of popular music
