Rare 1968 original vinyl first pressing of cool British psych produced by our man JiMi who also plays on the LP ...

Eire Apparent was a band from Northern Ireland and formed in 1967 with founding members Ernie Harold Graham (vocals), Eric Christopher Stewart (bass), William David Lutton (drums) and Henry McCullough on guitar. As 1968 rolled along, original guitarist McCullough was replaced by Michael Charles Cox and this is the line-up that recorded the album "Sunrise" in October of the same year at Hollywood's TTG Studios with Jimi Hendrix producing who also ended up contributing lead guitar to nine out of the eleven songs included!

While Hendrix's music leaned towards more blues/R&B based psychedelic sounds, this group's preferred style was also psychedelic but much more popsike sounding. If you liked Noel Redding's compositions with the Experience "She's So Fine" and "Little Miss Strange", then you'll love this album. Those two songs are a good example of the style featured throughout the LP, for example, the up-tempo "Someone Is Sure To (Want You)" which is a very popsike sound but with Hendrix's noticeable lead guitar on top. The opening number "Yes I Need Someone" has a good chorus and some strange lead guitar phrasings from Hendrix and is even eclipsed by the superior material that follows! The longest composition is the more prog-rock sounding "Mr. Guy Fawkes", clocking at about 5:50. It uses haunting chord progressions for its verse and chorus plus an inventive string/horn arrangement. In the middle, after what sounds like an explosion Hendrix comes in to play a cool harmonized lead guitar pattern. This is definitely one of the album's strongest cuts! In a similar vein is the other five-minute composition "Captive In The Sun" that also includes an interesting string accompaniment with the piano being the main instrument. In the middle there's another cool solo from Hendrix using the wah wah pedal. However not all songs are psychedelic as evidenced by "Rock 'N Roll Band" where Hendrix delivers some mean bluesy licks throughout! Track number three "The Clown" is interesting to featuring some background vocals from Experince bassist Noel Redding in the chorus but the best is saved for last: right before its conclusion Hendrix attempts to mimic the sound of laughter with the guitar! It came out pretty well! Another favorite is the haunting, up-tempo "Morning Glory" with more minor-based chords plus the usual soloing from Hendrix on top. The chorus melody in "Magic Carpet" has a slight garage-rock feel to it; a song made better by Hendrix's wah wah overdubs! "Let Me Stay" is another popsike-sounding tune but here, Hendrix's lead guitar is more prominent with multiple overdubs.
The two remaining songs do not feature Hendrix's playing: "Got To Get Away" (Cox plays lead guitar) and the LP's closing all acoustic "1026" that also includes some word-less chanting. Very nice exit to an interesting album!

If you like psychedelic poprock grooves from the 60's then this is for you. Also, fans of Hendrix should definitely check this out too. This is a good chance to hear him play lead guitar over much more melody laced popsike-rock sounding material than his own!
