Only album from folk collective comprising Miriam Backhouse, Dave Goulder, Irvine Hunt and Brian Miller. The main attraction is that Backhouse contributes five tracks, including a beautiful version of John Martyn's 'Fairy Tale' and, best of all, a Spriguns of Tolgus-style track entitled 'Good King Arthur's Days'.
Sleeve has some wear, i.e. writing on the back cover and a couple of relatively small tears (see photos). Disc is clean and plays well.
Original first pressing by the Sweet Folk and Country label, catalogue number SFA 058.
