Description
Fuchsia - Fuchsia LP. Gate-fold cover reissue of 1971 lost gem of experimental British progressive rock (in the vein of Henry Cow and Comus). Fuchsia was formed by lead singer and guitarist Tony Durant during his days at Exeter University. Wanting to write songs outside of the standard pop format, Durant had the innovative idea of bringing in an all-female string section, which included fellow Exeter students, Madeleine Bland (cello), Janet Rogers (violin), and Vanessa Hall-Smith (viola). Fuchsia's self-titled first (and only) album was recorded in summer of 1971, and the band (all students) was determined to tour during their next holiday, but that never happened. (sealed)
