VASHTI BUNYAN Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Vashti Bunyan's latest piece offers a serene journey through delicate folk landscapes. The expanded edition takes these already beautiful tracks and enhances them, giving them a richer, fuller texture. Bunyan's soft vocals, laden with vulnerability, intertwine perfectly with the gentle instrumentation, creating an album that's both calming and emotionally stirring. It's easy to see why it became a cult classiciher ethereal storytelling and minimalistic approach resonate with anyone who's ever sought solace in music's simplicity. This edition elevates it further, making it an essential listen.

Review: This cult album by Vashti Bunyan was first produced by Joe Boyd for Witchseason Productions. It originally came on Philips in 1970 and along the way, guest features include Fairport Convention's Simon Nicol and Dave Swarbrick as well as Eoin Williams from the Incredible String Band. Songs are about a time in her life when Vashti and her lover travelled by horse and cart to join with an artistic community in the Hebrides. Amusingly, by the time they arrived, the community had all left. A 2008 film tells the tale while this album provides the soundtrack.

Review: Following the amazing success story of Vashti Bunyan's recent re-emergence as an artist after an exile of over 30 years, we are proud and excited to release "Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind", a comprehensive compilation of early recordings dating from the period prior to Vashti's classic "Just another Diamond Day" album which was originally released 1970. Titled after Vashti's (Jagger/Richards-penned) debut single which opens the compilation, this double-album represents an attempt to both open out and draw a line under the past, and also to try to set the record straight about the disparity between how Vashti viewed (and still views) herself against the way she has been popularly perceived. Widely construed as a folk singer - a tag she fundamentally disagrees with - these recordings instead reveal Vashti as a pop singer, however 'fragile' and unique. A complete collection of Vashti's existing early recordings, the album is divided across two discs and features 25 tracks - mostly rescued from a number of old acetates and quarter-inch tapes Vashti's brother John had found in his attic a few years ago.
