Comprising the epic title track and four unforgettable stand-alone songs, Amaryllis features outstanding support from musicians including Danny Thompson and Terry Cox of Pentangle, and is an essential purchase for all fans of psychedelic singer-songwriting.

"This Edinburgh act was responsible for some of Britain's best acid folk, and many consider Amaryllis to be their best work" - The Tapestry Of Delights

" Amaryllis consists of the side-long, complex yet consistently melodic title track, and a small number of enchanting stand-alone songs" - Record Collector

Recorded simultaneously with their classic Amaryllis album in the summer of 1970, this psychedelic folk landmark showcases the talents of David McNiven and Angie Rew, with one spellbinding track from former bandmate Carolyn Davis. Sympathetically produced by Ray Horricks (Davy Graham, the Human Beast), it’s a superb collection that ranges from the hard-rocking ‘Masquerade’ to the gorgeous ‘Butterfly Land’, beautiful ‘Purple Hazy Melancholy’ and epic title track. Featuring support from Danny Thompson and Terry Cox of Pentangle, it’s simply essential for all fans of British acid folk.
