227 copies limited with glossy cover and insert. A lovely, unusual piece of British, Pastoral, Progressive, Chamber Rock. Five elegant, melodic well-structured and always engaging songs with deeply trippy lyrics, spiced up by episodes of West Coast-inspired lead guitar and flute jamming. Clearly dating from the classic “turnover” year of 1970/1 this album would have fitted perfectly on “Pink Scroll” era Charisma Records. We hear echoes of very early Yes, Trespass-Era Genesis, Audience, Jethro Tull and Family but really it is its own self. Carefully restored from the only known Acetate by Reynolds Mastering.
