The debut album by this English progressive/folk trio has aged extremely well. The songs offer an eerie mix of traditional- and fantasy-based (and even science fiction-inspired) lyrics that are rather striking to hear in the 21st century. And much of the music successfully melds archaic and progressive influences within an acoustic instrument framework, reminiscent in some respects of the bolder work of Amazing Blondel, but with a greater emphasis on lyricism.

While it may be difficult to listen to a spaced-out folk revival piece like "Ghost of the Wandering Minstrel Boy" without a chuckle, the haunt count of the chorus puts that song over, and the mix of folk melody and deep-space sensibilities manages to inspire. The simple beauty of the music is almost overwhelmed at times by too-elaborate production, though the presence of actor Richard Todd as narrator on "Sonnet to the Fall" and "Caravan" isn't nearly as jarring today as it seemed in the early '70s. He sounds rather like Richard Burton, but "Caravan," the track on which he is most prominent, holds together well as a piece of faux-medieval folk-rock.

Tracks Are :-

Side One

Sonnet To The Fall
Pilgrim From The City
Morman's Casket
Ghost Of The Wandering Minstrel Boy
Gloucester City
Starlight

Side Two

Caravan
Lisa's Song
Time In My Life
Fruit Of The Musical Tree
While It Lasted
Suzanne

Released on 'Nepentha Records' in 1971

Catalogue No. 6437003

Disc is in FAIR condition ---- vinyl shows a lot - and I do mean A LOT! - of surface wear, scuffing and scratches. I have played it through BUT the needle skips once on "Lisa's Song" (on my turntable, anyway) and there is noticeable surface noise and some pops & clicks throughout.

Low start price due to the condition of this item - please do not expect an audiophile experience from this one. If you want a better copy, please wait for one elsewhere!

Sleeve is in VG+ condition (some shelfwear & light ringwear)

Please contact me via Ebay Messages with any questions I will try my best to get back to you as quickly as possible.

PAYMENT BY PAYPAL ONLY

IF BUYING MORE THAN ONE ITEM PLEASE WAIT FOR COMBINED INVOICE!!!

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" RECORDS (LPs / 12" SINGLES etc). PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on vinyl records: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX (6) LPs / 12" records. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction's end. If you want to bid on more of our auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week's auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week's auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I have no option but to limit 'carried over' transactions to two weeks.
