Catalogue Raisonne: Vol. 13: Anonymous Days Part 2...Dark issued one of the worlds most historically significant LPs, self released in 1972 and epitomising the seventies underground ethic. It’s rediscovery saw it become the most valuable rock LP in the world. Original copies have sold for over £35,000, in stark comparison to the 64 copies sold and given away in 1972.
This is part of the 14 volume reissue of their complete recorded work. Seelie Court stress that this series includes some of the most damaged recordings you are likely to ever hear on vinyl on 2 lps of the 14 titles. Mastering and cutting was extremely dificult due to the amount of degradation of some master tapes, involving wrestling with complex frequencies making the cutting of lacquers a work of genius from DKS. Seelie Court considers Darks work to be of great archival importance and has been dedicated to releasing the band’s life works and documenting everything, no matter what the condition, while it is possible to be restored . This goal has finally reached fruition.
Each LP features a detailed printed inner sleeve with minute technical detail about each recording session - the dates, the locations, and every instrument model used on the tracks is named and categorised. To achieve an authentic aesthetic, every LP cover uses a reproduction of the actual precious white gatefold sleeve of the original 1972 LP as the frame/background to photos relevant to the particular recording sessions and showing the members at the time of each recording.
Tracklisting: Don’t Worry About That / Killin’ My Friends / Journey’s End / Alibi / Preacher’s Wife / Miles And Miles
