    Not that good. Save your money and buy a Pentangle album instead.

      The authorised version is reissued on LP and CD now under Hoxa.
      • Certainly one of the most beautiful folk LP's ever. This is filled with gorgeous female vocals with three acoustic vocals intertwined within delicate arrangements. There is not a single original song here, but the covers and traditional songs are well chosen and the production is nice too. This album also has the reputation as being the absolute rarest folk album from the UK, and it easily fetches four figures whenever it does show up for auction. But there is good news......you won't have to put a second mortgage on your house if you want to hear it because Big Pink records out of Korea has released it on CD in MINI LP packaging. I would say that this one is a must if pastoral folk is your thing.

          Just heard from Hoxa that a vinyl remastered LP will be released this year. All four band members are involved so fingers crossed the quality will be spot on.

            now re-released in an authorised version with a new track - see iTunes etc.. The transfers online so far have been at incorrect pitch.

              This will be an official remaster with extra tracks from the original artists.

                This has been out on CD since 2011. Big Pink in S. Korea is the label that issued it.
