Another request fulfilled today, ladies and gentlemen. This one's for short lived Scottish synth band Secession's lone LP, entitled A Dark Enchantment. The four piece band formed in 1983 and split after a few singles and the aforementioned record, calling it quits by 1987. They were involved briefly with both Siren Records and the infamous Beggars Banquet label. After Secession's split, members Charlie Kelly and James Seenan co-formed Scottish pop band the Vaselines with Charlie's brother Eugene and Frances Mckee. Coincidentally, we just caught the Vaselines in concert, as they've just reformed for a few US dates, but Charlie and James were nowhere to be seen. Meanwhile, lead Secession vocalist Peter Thomson passed away in the late 1990s.
A Dark Enchantment is apparently limited to 1000 copies on LP, and is the only record the band has released on compact disc (which is the version I've uploaded, complete with a handful of bonus tracks). If you see either, snap them up, as they're both incredibly scarce. Otherwise, here's the digital details:
