Ennismore

Ennismore is the second solo studio album by the English singer Colin Blunstone of rock band the Zombies. The name of the album comes from Ennismore Gardens, a square in Knightsbridge where Blunstone was living; the name being a variant spelling of the island Inishmore.

It was originally released in November 1972 on the label Epic. The lead single "I Don't Believe in Miracles" peaked at No. 31 on the UK Singles Chart, and "How Could We Dare to Be Wrong" peaked No. 45. Ennismore was reissued on CD by Sony in 2003.

As with Blunstone's 1971 debut album One Year, Ennismore was produced by Rod Argent and Chris White and most of the songs were backed by Argent's band Argent.

Critical reception
Robin Platts of AllMusic retrospectively gave the album four out of five stars and wrote that "Opinions differ as to which of the two is Blunstone's best album, but both One Year and Ennismore are consistently strong records and are bound to please anyone who has enjoyed Colin's work with the Zombies."
