DESCRIPTION:
Overlooked at the time of release `Just Another Diamond Day` by female folkie `Vashti Bunyan` has become a hugely sought after rarity. So hard to find now the 1970 UK 1st Issue on the Black/Silver Phillips label (6308 019) in Gatefold Sleeve that it sells for well over a thousand GBP, some copies have reached £1400. Even an average copy is a worthwhile investment of this one – check out my other youtube rarities

Just Another Diamond Day is the great debut album by United Kingdom singer-songwriter Vashti Bunyan.

In the mid to late 1960s, Bunyan was under contract to Andrew Oldham, which saw her release two singles. However, Bunyan found the experience frustrating, and decided to head for the Scottish islands in search of an artistic commune supposedly established by Donovan. She travelled around the countryside with her partner Robert, in a horse-drawn wagon. It was during these travels that she wrote the songs which would later appear on Just Another Diamond Day.

Bunyan returned to London where she was urged by producer Joe Boyd to record her songs while they were still fresh. The recording session took place throughout December 1969 at Sound Techniques in London. Song arrangements were performed by Robert Kirby, who also worked with Nick Drake. Members of Fairport Convention and Incredible String Band contributed to some tracks. The album was initially released in 1970 but was a commercial failure and Bunyan retired from music for many years.
