Product Description

Album Description

Dana Gillespie was a music lover from an early age: "I discovered the blues when I went to the American Folk Blues Festival in 1962 and also to see the Yardbirds at the Marquee Club. I was in my early teens and hadn't heard anything like it before ".

In 1964 she recorded her first single for Pye, with Donovan on guitar and became a regular on the folk circuit along with friends Donovan and David Bowie. She recalls: "I was doing folk because I couldn't afford a band and I hadn't found my musical niche". In those early years Dana got to know many of the top bands and people in the music business, appearing on Ready Steady Go and other cool TV shows of the era along with the legends of the British pop explosion.

Then in 1967, she made this album, "Foolish Seasons", a Psychpop/Swinging London/Folkrock masterpiece. Featuring the rare Donovan song, ‘You Just Gotta Know My Mind’, which should have been a smash mod hit, (and also includes the guitar of JIMMY PAGE!!!), and two fantastic Billy Nicholls covers from his much celebrated and legendary Psych/Softpop gem, "Would You Believe". Arranged by the great Mike Vickers and produced by Wayne Bickerton (World of Oz, Jackie Lomax, The Rubettes), this is one of THE great missing links of 1960s pop.

Dana was to make one more album for Decca, morphing seamlessly into a more blues based style, before becoming a star of London's West End theatre: the first run of Jesus Christ Superstar (playing Mary Magdalene), The Who's "Tommy" (playing the Acid Queen) and the rock Othello, "Catch My Soul. Dana continues recording recording successfully today, specialising in her first love, emotionally expressive blues this sumptious reissue of her classic first album is LONG overdue!! First time on CD ever in the world. Never before released in the UK on any format, not even vinyl!!

Package include rare and never-before-seen vintage pictures of the lovely Dana by one of England's finest rock photographers, Gered Mankowitz.

60's pop discovery! 28 Feb 2008
By Joe Pop
Format:Audio CD
i love this...sunny and groovy, it could almost be the new Goldfrapp album, Seventh Tree! Dana has a great voice and is showcased so well on this very English sounding set of songs.

one big gal! 25 May 2011
Format:Audio CD
dana gillespie's first solo album is nothing short of brilliant. i've done reviews before in which i said rev-ola's fem reissues are patchy,and this is why. so far,one of my favourite reissues released by rev-ola. any fans of bright and inventive 60's pop would do well to buy this album. worth every star.
