FUCHSIAThe British band Fuchsia released a little-noticed self-titled album in 1971 that, true to its name,
was a fusion of various currents of early-'70s rock, particularly progressive rock and British folk-rock.
While guitarist and lead singer Tony Durant was Fuchsia's main motor as the composer
of most of the material, the band's chief distinguishing mark was its three-woman string section,
including cellist Madeleine Bland (who also played piano and harmonium)
and violinists Janet Rogers and Vanessa Hall-Smith; all three also contributed backing vocals
"FUCHSIA"

RECORD NEAR EX (please, read above description)
SLEEVE VG but (please, see pictures and read above description)
Fuchsia's only album is a reasonably interesting, if far from indelible, classical-tilted mix
of early-'70s British folk-rock and progressive rock. Structurally and melodically,
the songs (most written by guitarist and lead singer Tony Durant) are complex
and unpredictably winding, not conforming to the usual formats and progressions of popular music.
The songs and vocals are more aligned with folk-rock, however, in their benign
and slightly fanciful storytelling feel, speckled with mentions of water, sky, breeze,
a king and his crown, "Me and My Kite," and the like. In parts, "Just Anyone" certainly
seems like a nod in the direction of early-'70s Pink Floyd's lightest,
most song-oriented material, complete with swooping slide guitar...(AllMusic)
