RECOMMENDED
Dreaming With Alice was first recorded in 1971, and released one year later. Debutant Mark Fry was only 19 years old, and Italian imprint IT put it out - an RCA sub label. Critics liked it, as did fans of deep dive psychedelic folk. But the era wasn't short of those kinds of sounds, and with this in mind it's something of a phenomena that the album resurfaced almost 40 years later as a repressing spurred on by originals selling for well over €1,500.
This is now the second reissue, and copies will not stick around for very long, for good reason. Although audibly naive, there's a purity here that you don't always find. Pared back to just acoustic guitar and vocals, aside from a few more complex pieces like the wonderfully weird and immersive 'The Witch', it's just a genuinely fantastic listen. Oh, and the title track being broken up and placed throughout the record is a strange but interesting idea, too.
