Description
This is the first LP by the excellent folk/rock band Spirogyra, issued on B&C (CAS 1042) in 1971. I still have a vivid memory of seeing them for the first time play live at 4 am during an all-nighter at the LSE. I bought the LP immediately afterwards. Superb songs and vocals (Martin Cockerham and Barbara Gaskin) with some deft violin and keyboard from Julian Kusack. The bassist was Steve Borrill and the occasional drums were supplied by the ubiquitous Dave Mattacks. A wonderful record which permeates an agreeable amateurish charm. I hadn't noticed before, but this was produced by Robert Kirby, who provided such excellent arrangements for Nick Drake and David Ackles, among others. He provides string, trumpet and recorder arrangement here, too.
Tracks are:
Side 1:
- The Future Won't Be Long
- Island
- Magical Mary
- Captain's Log
- At Home In The World
- Cogwheels Crutches And Cyanide
- Time Will Tell
- We Were A Happy Crew
- Love Is A Funny Thing
- The Duke Of Beaufoot
Sleeve is VG+. There is some ring wear, and a small sticker tear in one corner. Comes with the original inner sleeve with the lyrics, which is in excellent shape.
