SLEEVE STRONG VG+ (please, see pictures and read above description)
Unhalfbricking was an album in which the group shed its closest ties to its American folk-rock influences
and started to edge toward a more traditional British folk-slanted sound.
That shift wouldn't be definitive until their next album, Liege & Lief.
But the strongest link to the American folk-rock harmony approach left with the departure of Ian Matthews,
who left shortly after the sessions for Unhalfbricking began.
The mixture of obscure American folk-rock songs, original material, and traditional interpretations
that had fallen into place with What We Did on Our Holidays earlier in the year was actually still intact, if not as balanced.
Sandy Denny's two compositions, her famous "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?"
and the far less celebrated but magnetically brooding "Autopsy," were among the record's highlights.
So too were the goofball French Cajun cover of Bob Dylan's "If You Gotta Go, Go Now"
(here retitled "Si Tu Dois Partir," and a British hit)
and the magnificent reading of Dylan's "Percy's Song,"...(AllMusic)
