The Snapdragons - Mass (Unreleased Second Album)

 

 

THE SNAPDRAGONS

Mass (Unreleased Second Album)

1991 Native Records

 

Notes :

First exclusive material on the blog in 2023, long awaited unreleased second album titled ''Mass'' from great UK indie rock band The Snapdragons. I've heard various rumours that band recorded second studio album that stayed unreleased for some reasons, but never thought that i will find copy of ''Mass' album.

Here it is, amazing album from start to finish, it's getting much better and better with every new listening, i'm having great time playing album on repeat, in the last 6 or 7 days.

 

The Snapdragons (sometimes referred to as 'The Snapdragons UK', to distinguish them from the later US band of the same name) were an indie-rock band from Leeds, England led by singer and main songwriter James Taylor.  Other band members were: John Sullivan (guitar), Simon 'Spike' Mulling (bass guitar) and Pellegrino 'Pel' Riccardi (drums)

They released two albums and four singles in the late 1980s, early 1990s while signed to the independent UK label Native Records. The album Dawn Raids on Morality is rated by Native and many aficionados of UK Indie music as an undiscovered gem with thoughtful lyrics and classy guitar work and was produced by Pat Collier.

The band toured the UK and supported other Native acts, such as The Darling Buds and Richard Hawley's debut band Treebound Story. However inconsistent performances by the band and the departure of John Sullivan and later "Spike" Mullings hindered the band's ability to reach a wider audience.

The follow up album The Eternal in a Moment is a compilation of tracks from singles and EPs not found on the first album and includes two standout tracks 'The Things You Want' and 'The Eternal in a Moment' which were the band's first two singles. This compilation album was released by the label as the single were now deleted but against the wishes of the band.

A second studio album entitled Mass was recorded with Nigel Lister replacing John Sullivan on guitar however this was not issued by Native due to legal problems which effectively saw the demise of band.
