Tony, Caro & John recorded this album in London 1970 in a homestudio.
They´ve pressed only 100 copies and sold the album on concerts.
The music reminds us a lot of Incredible String Band and is as good as "Hangman´s Beautifull Daughter". All tracks are amazing, no filler.
Tony´s voice makes you shiver and the music is taking you on a trip.
For many collectors this is the best unknown Underground release ever.
THERE ARE NO GREATER HEROES.
"Official CD issue of this rare and beautiful UK psychedelic folk rarity from 1972.
Similar to early Incredible String Band and Bread Love and Dreams it's a mixture of acoustic exotic instruments, electric guitar, and male/female vocal harmonies.
The songs are suitably beautiful introspective, reflective, and mystical.
This CD issue includes five bonus tracks and a detailed booklet. A gem."
Paper sleeve with original artwork. 300 copies limited edition.
Tony, Caro and John, a folk-rock trio, recorded the extremely rare "All on the First Day" album in 1972. The threesome took much of their inspiration from the Incredible String Band's eclectic strain of psychedelic folk, although songwriter and singer Tony's compositions had a sound and voice of their own.

All on the First Day was extremely Incredible String Band-influenced in its minimal folk-rock, particularly in Tony Dore's vocals. While it might be a lot smaller in the range of instruments, and thinner in depth of production than the old Incredible String Band records, it's also mighty more tuneful and accessible to conventional pop ears. The threesome have a good knack for catchy tunes with minor chords aplenty, without any of the wavering drone-grate categorizing much of the ISB's output. Although many of the compositions address the hippie mindset of the early '70s -- making love, folky vignette story-songs, the apocalypse, and references to nature and fable-like figures aplenty -- they're relayed with just enough irreverent wit to tread the line between clever and indulgent. The homespun male-female harmonies are bolstered by imaginatively unpredictable, if low-budget, weird tinges of electronic effects, slide guitar swoops, violin creaks, wah-wah, Jew's harp, zig-zaggy guitar reverb, and flageolets (a small flute). It's a very likable album, heartily recommended to early-'70s British folk-rock fans looking for something of quality they likely have never heard of before, let alone actually heard. Originally issued in a quantity of a mere 100 copies in 1972, Normal/Shadoks' CD reissue of the album 30 years later adds five bonus tracks, and historical liner notes by the group. The five bonus tracks include two decent outtakes from the album, and tracks of slightly later vintage that have a more straightforward (and less interesting) period rock sound. ~ Richie Unterberger
