RECORD EX but (please, read above description)

SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)

Stimulus was the debut from one of the slighter British folk-rock songwriters of the late '60s and early '70s. 

Keith Christmas absorbed some good traits -- you can hear bits of Bob Dylan, Bert Jansch, Roy Harper, 

and (in the vocal rather than the songwriting) Ray Davies, whether by intention or accident. 

Still, it's kind of a meager effort, imbued with some of the haunting melody 

and lyrical melancholy that were hallmarks of British folk-rock 

(and a few more country-ish licks than was typical for the style)...(AllMusic)
