Renaissance - Illusion 1971

Recorded in 1971, this second album by the original line-up including ex-Yardbirds Keith Relf and Jim McCarty, was withdrawn before release in the UK, and was only issued in Germany on Island (HELP 27). Like their debut it contains an atmospheric and ambitious fusion of baroque folk and classical influences. It was later released in the U.K. in 1977, with a cover that had the original front and rear cover artwork swapped. Again (See High Tide's Sea Shanties), a wonderful cover painting by the artist Paul Whitehead.

Keith Relf - guitar, vocals
Jim McCarty - drums, vocals
John Hawken - keyboards
Louis Cennamo - bass
Jane Relf - vocals, percussion, vocals
