Ring Wear noticeable at back (See pictures).
Nice copy of a Sought after Rarity - Polly Bolton.
The major change on Dando Shaft's second album was the addition of singer Polly Bolton, whose lead and harmony
singing added considerable color and appeal to the group's vocal blend. The band might have been edging just a bit
closer to the folk-rock mainstream, too, with a more standard rhythmic and melodic base to some of the tunes. Generally, though, they remained in the same mindset as they were on their 1970 debut: just barely rock-influenced folk, similar to Pentangle but folkier, and given to a greater emphasis on mandolin, violin, and unusual tempos. While something like "Whispering Ned" sounded as traditional as British folk-rock got, other songs nodded a bit toward the more wistful romantic pop song tradition, like "Sometimes," "'Til the Morning Comes," and "Waves Upon the Ether." The nature imagery of the debut was still present, too, if not as prominent, in songs like "Riverboat" (one of the highlights, with its lovely
Bolton vocal).
