David McWilliams : The Reflections of David McWilliams

The records aren't bad, but are rather derivative and forgettable, though his best-known single, "Days of Pearly Spencer," was his best song, with a dark edge, swirling violins, and an effective dab of psychedelia in the megaphone-distorted vocals on the song's chorus.
A compilation drawn from his first three albums, The Days of David McWilliams, was issued by RPM in 2001.

David McWilliams : The Days of David McWilliams
This 22-track compilation is largely drawn from the three albums McWilliams released on Major Minor in 1967-68, tagging on a B-side apiece from 1968 and 1969.
As for some of the better tracks, "Redundancy Blues" bears some resemblance, melodically, to the (subsequent) Al Stewart track "The Ballad of Mary Foster," while "Hiroshima" is an early Donovan-Dylan-style look at nuclear danger, though with an effective, almost jazzy uptempo rock-baroque arrangement.
