- INCL.BONUS TRACK RARE 1972 SINGLE/ BOOKLET WITH AUTHORITATIVE AND EXTENSIVE/ LINER NOTES BY RESPECTED AUTHOR AND/ JOURNALIST CHRIS WELCH./ EXPERTLY REMASTERED - SUPERB SOUND.
A four-piece group from Canterbury, Spirogyra was at the forefront of the British folk rock movement in the early 1970s. Their magical, mysterious tales were set to sensitive acoustically performed songs that struck a chord with receptive audiences.
This was the group’s debut album, first released in 1972 and featuring the vocals and guitar of founder member Martin Cockerham, the attractive vocals of Barbara Gaskin, and guest drummer Dave Mattacks.
It proved a best seller and sold over 200,000 copies at the height of the folk boom. As well as the ten original LP tracks, we have added the A-side of their 1972 single ‘Dangerous Dave’ as a bonus track. Always an album highly prized among collectors and fans, it’s nice to have it back out on CD!
