twice as nice & half the price

Heron are an English folk-rock band formed in Maidenhead, Berkshire in 1967. Known for a gentle, pastoral sound with multiple singer-songwriters, they issued two albums on Pye’s Dawn label in 1970–71, later reuniting from the 1990s onward.

Twice As Nice & Half the Price was released in 1971 on the Dawn label, this is Heron’s second album—a 21-track, specially priced double LP. Much of it was recorded outdoors at/around a Devon cottage (West Emlett Farm/Black Dog area), giving it a warm, rustic ambience; musically it blends mellow folk-rock with understated, homespun arrangements.
