Tracklisting & More Information

BACKGROUND

Cult Folk-rock group from the early 1970’s released on the famous Vertigo “swirl” label with a stunning fold-out artwork. Hints of pastoral folk rock with also a resemblance close to the sound of Fotheringay.

Full of hippy ideals, this singing guitar trio (Ann Steuart also plays piano and flute) gets some help from other horn musicians and a string section and most of all, the participation of giant double-bass master Danny Thompson (of Pentangle, John Martyn and Tim Buckley fame) even if he stays more discreet on this album than in others. The music stays completely acoustic (except for the odd electric guitar on one superb track - The Lady Is Changing Home), and sometimes also instrumental (Madeline) displaying a certain kind of virtuosity that every proghead will love.

The sound quality of the recording is excellent with hints of naïve and sweet approachs to the songwriting. The medieval elements are mostly focused to instrumental song “Madeline”, and to the wonderful “Willow Tree”, with psychedelic elements.

CONDITION

This archive example is a joy to look at & a prize item for any Vertigo collector. The sleeve must grade Excellent & has a vintage French shop sticker on the front left untouched. The edges are Near Mint & all text is clearly legible, with a Near Mint spine that would stand proud on any collector's shelf. The inside die-cut sections show no signs of wear. There is a tiny sticker tear to the inside right panel which does very little to betray its beauty.

The vinyl is Near Mint with minimal evidence of play, which is staggering considering its forty-seven years of age. About as good as it gets!
