New Remastered Edition Of The Classic 1971 Album By Ernie Graham. Featuring Help Yourself & Brinsley Schwarz. Newly Remastered From The Original Liberty Master Tapes. The Belfast born musician first came to prominence in the band Eire Apparent (whose only album was produced by Jimi Hendrix). Following the band's demise, he signed to the Down Home management stable (who also had the bands Help Yourself and Brinsley Schwarz on their roster). This association in turn led to Graham signing with Liberty Records as a solo artist. Ernie Graham's 1971 eponymous album featured both Help Yourself and Brinsley Schwarz backing him on a selection of songs which were later described as "one of the most hauntingly beautiful" albums of the period. Despite critical praise upon it's release, the record failed to make a commercial impression. Graham subsequently joined Help Yourself for the recording of their album 'Strange Affair' before leaving to form the band Clancy in 1973.
