This is an official RE-RELEASE OnVINYL under licensed courtesyof BMG Rights Management, UK, remasteredFrom to original master copy outofThe vaultsof BMG. The album was originally released in 1971 On B & C RecordsRecords ). It's rated very high by critics On Theof acid folk albumsof AllesTime . Side One starts with ' TheLong '(4:17)The aggressive voiceof Martin Cockerham is beautifully counterbalanced byThe gorgeous, placating tonesof Barbara Gaskin. Drumless, The strums ofThe acoustic guitar,The violin and bass work all provideThe strong rhythmic compassFORThe singers'MESSAGE of insistent warning. Julian Cusack's violin is as insistent as The singers. Full of power! 'Island' (3:39): Violin and picked guitar provide The only background support FOR Martin Cockerham's vocal. It picks up speed as it morphs into A kind ofA second violin track. This is melancholic. 'Magical Mary' (6:20) races out of TheOnThe deliveryofThe story. Nice Time shifts with The choruses - makes it interesting. Bass, strummed acoustic guitar and frenetic violin play keep it very tight! At The three minute mark TheThe vocal lead - inA very seductive way (as contrasted by Martin's abrasive approach). The many shifts and changes over The course ofFORThe prog world sticklers. Amazing instrumental outro. Absolutely great song! 'Captain's Log' soft and pop-folkie more in A 1960s Paul Simon kind of way. A cool, melodic song with all of TheWIND & water 'effects.'AtHome InThe World '(3:07)Sounds like S & G's 'America'. Piano-based, with background strummed guitar, drums, horns and gorgeous harmony vocals From Barbara during The choruses. 'Cogwheels Crutches And Cyanide' (6:00): Another Dylan-like vocal supported by full band - acoustic guitar, bass, full drum kit drumming, and violin. At 4:00 bare bones acoustic guitar is joined by an eery Peter Gabriel-like theatric voice while piano, organ, drums, bass and Barbara amps it up. The song ends with Martin's bellicose voice over The crescendo ofThe fullband . Side Two starts with ' TimeA keening solo violin opens this song before bass and female vocal enterToHelp tellThe tale. Very proper, almost operative singing. Bass, second background violin and lead violin speed up FOR bridge ToA new section with acoustic guitar strumming, piano, and bass supporting Barbara's beautiful delivery. A politically ambiguous song telling Us that no system will last forever. Cool song! 'We Were A Happy Crew' (5:29): Gentle piano, strings / synths support Barbara's gentle vocal FORThe opening half minute before fullband and Martin's background vocals join inFOR support. Interesting violin solo at The end ofThe second minute leadsTo beautiful old-sounding acoustic guitar play and new vocal section. The Instruments get insidiously stronger - building To crescendo before decaying at The end. Another highlight! ' LOVE Is AThe diaphanous upper register voiceof Barbara Gaskin. Recorders join in with The second verse. Nice! ' The Duke of Beaufoot' (8:06) ends it dramatically. Violin and bass plays The introduction before male / female vocals with permanent exiting violin play slices it up. After 4 1/2 minutes A strummed guitar and female vocals take over. Fantastic. Beautyful voice and exciting violin play and great piano by Julian Cusack. A highlight! Martin Cockerham's acoustic guitar is The key element ofSound , it is bright, percussive, and dynamic, allofThe elements thatA folk guitar should have. Barbara Gaskin and Cockerham are The main singers OnThe album. Gaskin's gentle, feminine, attractive, angel-like voice puts The listener in heaven. Cockerham's singing is The polar opposite. HIS voice is wild, throaty, and perfectly suited FOR English outlaw-folk. The band's violinist, Julian Cusack does fantastic work at enriching plain acoustic passages with HIS typically English fiddle playing. He also adds interesting keyboards touches On some songs. The electric bass guitar played by Dave Borrill keeps The MUSIC lively. St. Radigunds is instantly A lovable album upon FirstThe musical worldof many aficionadosofPsychedelic , Progressive, Acid Folk Rock! This is One NOT To be missed. Album comes with 4-sided cover-sized insert sheet with band story, photos and all lyrics. ( LONG HAIR )
