Recorded by brother and sister Sally and Mike Oldfield, this LP has some stunning melodies and guitar playing. Sally Oldfield&#8217;s vocals are beautifully sung in a &#8216;she could only be from England&#8217; style and the guitar playing from brother Mike, indespersed with some lovey flute garnishes, are as exceptonal as you&#8217;d expect!<\/p>\n<p>Not available on CD at the moment, so even more reason to snap this one up on glorious gatefold vinyl.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3740 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.casbahrecords.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_6742-1024x743.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We have a UK original gatefold laminted sleeve on the Transatlantic label, 1969 issue. The sleeve is in excellent condition with just some light creases and foxing. The record plays great and only has a very minor bit of background noise on the quieter moments.

Looks great and itdoesn&#8217;tdissapoint. The songs are acoustic and melodic in a wistful folky style. Steve&#8217;s vocals are not a million miles away from Nick Drake and Al Stewart, particularly the latter. Any fans of those two should be keen as mustard to pick this one up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3744\" src=\"http:\/\/www.casbahrecords.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_6738-300x172.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"452\" height=\"259\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We have a UK original pressing from 1971 on the Village Thing label.

This is very much in the Trad\/medieval folk rock genre. A really unusual sound. It was put together by a combination of music ensembles: St George&#8217;s Canzona (a Derby-based folk band), The Druids and Trevor Crozier&#8217;s Broken Consort. Add some seasoned Jazz players to the mix and what could go wrong!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3746 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.casbahrecords.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_6730-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve never seen it for sale or sold this album in my thirty-odd years of buying and selling, so it&#8217;s a real rarity.<\/p>\n<p>We have a UK original from 1973 on the Argo label.
