O'Ryan - Initiate (1995; HQ Full Album)


Playing Next: PRINCE BUSTER ON TOUR FULL ALBUM
Random Page  /  Random Album


Second solo album from Mervyn Spence (Big Daisy, Trapeze, Wishbone Ash), again released under the pseudonym \"O'Ryan\". No original material on display this time, instead we get an album mainly consisting of covers of songs found on the first three Phenomena albums (This album was recorded not long after Spence managed to acquire the Phenomena rights). Some of the new arrangements work better than others, but unsurprisingly, Spence's vocals are consistently top class. 320kps rip taken from my copy of the CD (PARAVP006CD).
