RECORD COLLECTOR review of

In Search of Amelia Earhart / Now We Are Three

 

 

	In Search of Amelia Earhart Elektra K42120 1972	A real gem of an album containing some wonderful songs and those glorious harmonies that have become the trade mark of Plainsong. Today this is a highly sought after album. Released on CD in Japan. here >>   ELEKTRA produced a Press Pack to publicise the release of Amelia. We have a copy of this rare item here >>>
	Plainsong On Air Band of Joy BBC BOJCD005 1992	Archive recordings from BBC sessions in 1972 - both TV and Radio. I can remember taping Plainsong from the TV sometime in the early 1970's and playing the cassette to destruction in just a few short years!
	... And Thats That Taxim Records TX20022TA 1992	This CD is the second Plainsong album comprising of unfinished recordings from 1972 ... after Bob Ronga had left but before Iain went to America to work with Mike Nesmith. And that was the end of Plainsong version 1.
	Dark Side of the Room Line Records LICD 9.01247 1992	Andy meets up with Iain who was playing in a pub in Brighton - they play a couple of gigs together - Julian Dawson and Mark Griffiths join and Plainsong version 2 is born!
	Voices Electric Line Music 1994	Produced by Mark Hallman who sat alongside Iain in Hamilton Pool. 'Voices', written by Iain, is an electrifying track - four voices creating more of those glorious harmonies.
	Sister Flute Line Music 9.01327 1996	Still with Julian at this stage - but with 'I Love This Town', written by Clive Gregson - another wonderful album.
	Live in Austria Plainsong PL0001 1997	Live recordings from Thalgau in July 1997. Clive Gregson had replaced Julian Dawson who had left to pursue his solo career. Plainsong version 3.
	Plainsong On Air Strange Fruit BBC SFRSCD047 1998	This is a re-release of archive session tapes from 1972 (Band of Joy) This CD contains two extra tracks.
	New Place Now Spin Along Records SPACD001 1999	Clive Gregson joins Andy, Iain and Mark in another re-incarnation of Plainsong, this time produced by John Wood. A good album and a comprehensive tour to promote it. 'Live' this band are very, very special. Pity it doesn't happen more often. .
	A to B Spin Along Records SPACD002 2001	Andy and Iain create a mini CD containing six tracks. The voices of Plainsong's two founder members combine to make a recording with a special quality, a warmth and unique sound which has been perfected over thirty years.
	In Search of Amelia Earhart Perfect Pitch PP009 2001	At last! Released on CD. And worth the wait! Those glorious harmonies without the clicks.
	Pangolins Blue Rose BLU CD0299 2003	Julian Dawson rejoins Plainsong for this long awaited album featuring four great voices and lots of guitar. A great album - supported by a comprehensive tour.
