Recorded before Polly Bolton's harmonic presence shifted the emphasis of their output, this masterwork is required listening for all progressive folk devotees.

With original copies costing in the hundreds, this is another worthy exploration for Dando Shaft fans, and all lovers of progressive folk music.
