Some of the narration has had to be omitted from the record.

This does have much of the sound of a musical performed by a school, this may well depend on your personal tastes... we have included it in the folk section because it is a private pressing and a couple of tracks do hint a rather simple femvox sounding folk... definately not acid folk or any great monster of an album, but...  virtually impossible to find now... so should appeal to private pressing collectors, Bristonian collectors and musical specialists.

We have created a couple of slideshows on YouTube that show this record/sleeve from various angles whilst you get to hear a track... the images and sounds come directly from this disc, the disc wasn't cleaned prior to recording, the sounds have not been enhanced or 'cleaned', so it's a nice raw sound... check the links out below... to my ears, I've chosen the best to play for you...
