"Championed by John Peel for nearly 30 years, anything by Cutler is always well worth a listen" - Uncut The only official recording by the Ivor Cutler Trio, this collection of some of Mr. Cutler's best loved songs, poems and stories was recorded in laissez-faire style by George Martin at Abbey Road, as one of the very first Air Productions. Highlighting the celebrated Scottish poet and raconteur's skill as a pianist and arranger as well as his unique way with language, it is one of his best recordings. Having launched Mr. Cutler's film career with a typically enigmatic starring role in the Beatles' film "Magical Mystery Tour", which made him a film star of some renown, it was inevitable that Parlophone the Beatles' then label, would want a recording by the great man on it's catalogue.....and let's face it, who wouldn't! Mud / A Great Grey Grasshopper / Darling, Will You Marry Me Twice / A Still, Small Fly / Deedle, Deedly, I Pass / I Had A Little Boat / Cockadoodledon't / Shoplifters / Mary's Drawer / I'm Happy / I'm Going In A Field / Go On, Jump / Flim Flam Flum / Good Morning! How Are You? Shut Up! / Last Song / A Suck Of My Thumb / The Shapely Balloon
