    Reissue blows the outrageously expensive OG's out of the water!

      My dad was a friend of Gerald Moore's and was present in the field when this was recorded. The diamond in my record collection that I will never part with. A beautiful album.

        One of the best music albums ever produced, it's a pure joy, it's gold music. In our crazy world, this album and the second give bring peace.

          Description of album: “Recorded in a field! Beautiful drifting rural prog with a West Coast vibe in parts..so mellow. Hard to track down and this one is nice. The quartet Heron recorded 2 albums for Dawn Records in 1970-71. Their instrumentation is primarily acoustic guitars, el-bas and various keyboards (organ, piano). Their playing and singing is very inspired, and many of the songs sound as if they were recorded in one take. Sounds of birds and wind can be heard between several tracks, as a lot of the recordings were done outside a Devon country cottage.”
