  Scott Fagan - 'South Atlantic Blues' 2015 Reissue. 180g LP. Includes D/L content Artist: Scott Fagan
Title: 'South Atlantic Blues'
Label: Saint Cecilia Knows

Brand New and Sealed LP

Originally released on ATCO in November 1968, singer-songwriter Scott Fagan's bewitching debut album, 'South Atlantic Blues', is a genuine lost classic - a mystical, mythical and deeply soulful folk-rock masterpiece.

Remastered from the original tapes, South Atlantic Blues is reissued for the very first time on CD and vinyl by Saint Cecilia Knows - the same label that released the acclaimed 2011 Mickey Newbury box set, 'An American Trilogy' - in association with Scott Fagan's own lil'fish records.

An epic song cycle about Fagan's hard-scrabble life in the Virgin Islands (where he was raised and lived until 19, before returning to his birthplace, New York City), wrapped around an impassioned love story, 'South Atlantic Blues' is driven by Fagan's dense, allusive lyrics and experimental production that infuses his folk song stylings with R&B, jazz and Caribbean island rhythms.

The initial pressing of the reissued album comes in a limited edition, hand-numbered, 180-gram weight vinyl with a reproduction of renowned artist Jasper Johns' 1970 lithograph, Scott Fagan Record as cover art.
This is a reissue that heralds the rediscovery of a major talent, one that should finally see Scott Fagan accorded his place in the canon of popular music alongside his better-known 60s and 70s peers.
