- Just Another Diamond Day is the debut album of English singer-songwriter Vashti Bunyan. In the mid to late 1960s, Bunyan was under contract to Andrew Oldham, which saw her release two singles. However, Bunyan found the experience frustrating, and decided to head for the Scottish islands in search of an artistic commune supposedly established by Donovan. She travelled around the countryside with her partner Robert in a horse-drawn wagon. It was during these travels that she wrote the songs which would later appear on Just Another Diamond Day. Bunyan returned to London where she was urged by producer Joe Boyd to record her songs while they were still fresh. The recording session took place in December 1969 at Sound Techniques in London. Song arrangements were performed by Robert Kirby, who also worked with Nick Drake. Simon Nicol and Dave Swarbrick of Fairport Convention and Robin Williamson of The Incredible String Band contributed to some tracks. The album was initially released in 1970 but was a commercial failure and Bunyan retired from music for many years. Just Another Diamond Day was re-released by Spinney Records in 2000, its success prompting Bunyan to return to music and eventually record the much delayed follow-up Lookaftering, released in 2005. Just Another Diamond Day was also featured in a UK TV advert for T-Mobile's Flext in 2006.
- Just Another Diamond Day é o álbum de estréia da cantora britânica Vashti Bunyan, lançado em 1970. No meio dos anos 60, Bunyan tinha um contrato com o produtor Andrew Oldham, pelo qual lançou dois singles. No entanto, a cantora achou a experiência frustrante e decidiu ir para as ilhas escocesas em busca de uma comunidade artística, supostamente fundada por Donovan. Ela viajou com su parceiro Robert em uma carroça puxada por cavalos. Foi durante esta viagem que ela escreveu as canções que viriam a fazer parte de Just Another Diamond Day. Retornando a Londres, ela procurou o produtor Joe Boyd para gravar as canções enquanto elas ainda estivessem frescas. As sessões de gravação ocorreram ao longo de dezembro de 1969 nos estúdios Sound Techniques em Londres. Os arranjos foram feitos por Robert Kirby, que também já havia trabalhado com Nick Drake. Membros das bandas Fairport Convention e Incredible String Band contribuíram em algumas faixas. O álbum foi lançado em 1970, mas foi um fracasso de vendas e Bunyan se distanciou da música por muitos anos devido às asperas críticas da imprensa musical, que descreveu suas canções como "infantis" e atacou sua voz como "fraca". Just Another Diamond Day foi relançado pela Spinney Records em 2000. Desta vez foi bem recebido e o sucesso fez com que Vashti retornasse à música, gravando em 2005 seu álbum seguinte Lookaftering.
