Blue Label, Mauve Sleeve, Re-Press.AllMusic Review by Richie Unterberger
Davy Graham shared billing with British blues forefather Alexis Korner on this three-track 1962 EP, though Graham's folk-blues-jazz stylings are the more dominant presence. 3/4 A.D. is most notable for the first appearance on record of "Angi," actually a solo Graham guitar piece on this session. "Angi" would, of course, become a folk standard, though more famous in its covers by Bert Jansch and particularly Simon & Garfunkel (under the spelling "Anji"). Also on this EP are the Graham original "Davy's Train Blues" and the jazzier "3/4 A.D.," on which both Graham and Korner share the composer credits. These rare and good recordings, some of the first recorded evidence of the distinctive British folk-blues stylings that would flower in the hands of Graham, Jansch, John Renbourn, and others throughout the '60s,
