A classic album by Mark Fry, an English singer-songwriter, and an obscurity-lover's choice folk artist. Now over 50 years on from its first release in 1972, the album already held sway among its fans back then for its surreally up-close-and-personal, yet muffled, quality. But now more than ever, the passage of time lends further effect to Fry's approach to song, and could be construed as a coming-of-age piece, considering he was only 19 years old at the time of its recording. Through all its crud and layering, we can still make out the voice of a sweet soul, though the mystery of the titular Alice is still wrapped up in much illusion and allusion, with nods to the Lewis Carroll-created character cropping up throughout.
