Description
Original LP on AUDAT Records. Canadian Pressing.
The first, best, and hardest to find Lp by this lost folk trio, Ryan's Fancy...an Irish folk band who fled to Canada in the sixties.
Denis Ryan, Fergus O'Byrne, and Dermot O'Reilly, were originally members of the Sons of Erin. The original Sons of Erin line-up featured Dermot and Fergus along with Gary Kavanagh and band leader Ralph O'Brien. When the band broke up Dermot, Fergus and Gary continued on for one tour as O'Reilly's Men and upon returning to Toronto Canada met up with Don Sullivan to form the original Sullivan's Gypsies. Ralph O'Brien reformed The Sons Of Erin with new members Johnnie Lynn, John Cameron and Denis Ryan and recorded a self-titled LP. Shortly afterward Denis left to join Sullivan's Gypsies. Ryan's Fancy came to be when Sullivan's Gypsies parted ways.
Their rare first album on the tiny Audat label is considered by some critics and collectors to be of the finest folk albums "ever" in the league with favored British folk collectibles from the early 70's...
