the strange tale of captain shannon and the hunchback from gigha

Recorded simultaneously with their classic Amaryllis album in the summer of 1970, this psychedelic folk landmark showcases the talents of David McNiven and Angie Rew, with one spellbinding track from former bandmate Carolyn Davis. Sympathetically produced by Ray Horricks (Davy Graham, the Human Beast), it's a superb collection that ranges from the hard-rocking 'Masquerade' to the gorgeous 'Butterfly Land', beautiful 'Purple Hazy Melancholy' and epic title track. Featuring support from Danny Thompson and Terry Cox of Pentangle, it's simply essential for all fans of British acid folk."
