Delicate emphatic dark folk, sweet high trembling Marcus/Trimblesque vocal, orchestral backing. Sparse sound with spacey mellotron in the background. Flowing "seer with answers" damage. When he sings he's "going to the edge of the world" you gotta believe it's not the first time. Excellent LP. George Faber (Finchley Boys) helps out. Supposedly only 100 copies were pressed of the first version, but the substantial number of copies traded in recent years makes this seem dubious. Some copies of the first press came with promo material and a bonus 7".(Ron Moore in "Underground Sounds")

Thanks friend. Beatufiul record. Dark folk? of course, but fantastic.
Very nice album!
Very nice blog!
Thanks a lot!
:o)
Great album! Yes there were only 100 originals pressed with the covers hand silk screened by Don himself. I was a friend of his back in 1976. Nice to see it up on your blog.
I just salvaged a pristine 45 single of this tune out of someone's trash, along with a hand typed copy of an original review of the album done in 1976, so I was curious about this.
Thanks. Now I know what I have here.
