RECORD NEAR MINT (please, read above description)
SLEEVE EX (please, see pictures and read above description)
The group's first album, recorded as a duo backed by top British session men Big Jim Sullivan and Clem Cattini.
The sound here is generally more mainstream rock (there's even a sitar and tabla noodling
around on one track), a lot less elegant and a lot bluesier (especially "You Don't Want My Love")
than anything they were later known for, and with horns (of the local marching band variety)
around as well. The antique-style tracks ("Saxon Lady," "Season of the Year," "Shepherd's Song")
worked best, and became the basis for what followed...(AllMusic)
