Vinyl debut for band’s follow up to one of the greatest guitar-heavy psych records in the world, Dark Round the Edges (1972) Officially licensed by Dark, who will receive royalties from sales of this album Remastered and restored by Steve Giles for maximum brilliance

For the first time on vinyl, the killer second offering by UK Psych monsters Dark! Anonymous Days is the second studio album from Dark recorded 23 years after the first, the famous and highly collectible (and stone cold psychedelic classic) Round the Edges LP. The band’s line-up remains the same— Steve Giles, Ron Johnson, Martin Weaver and Clive Thorneycroft. Anonymous Days contains songs written between 1974 and 1995 and is the album that Dark always wanted to make, combining the Dark progressive rock style with more modern recording techniques.

“The first album was recorded in about 24 hours, this one took an awful lot longer: that’s modern studios for you. The tracks are pure Dark combining complicated twin harmony guitar work with thought provoking lyrics and wide ranging musical structures. We thoroughly enjoyed getting back together again to write and rehearse after all those years, we even played a live gig in our home town of Northampton. At the start of the project Ron’s bass guitar was taken from the dust in his loft where it had lain undisturbed for over twenty years. After the album was finished he put it back in exactly the same place; ready for the next one?” —Martin Weaver, Northampton, England. June 2001.

Special thanks to Steve Giles DARK Founder Member for contacting me with the information below. 

"Don't Worry About That and Journey's End were recorded at Outrider during March/April '94.  The rest (including "A Hope Full Of Holes", which unfortunately had to be cut to keep the album to a length that would keep audio quality to a maximum) were recorded at Far Heath Studios during '95."

"Apart from Remastering - I also had the 24 track analogue master tapes transferred to digital files and did quite a substantial Remix."
