This is one of the finest underground singer-songwriter albums of its era, blending expert acoustic guitar with jazzy backings from some of Britain's leading contemporary jazz musicians (including Tony Reeves, Henry Lowther and Mike Travis) and truly psychedelic lyrics. Originally issued in early 1969, it's almost impossible to find in its original incarnation, and is finally reissued on vinyl here, together with an insert with background liners and CD of full album with 12 bonus tracks.
