One of the rarest acid folk items (100 were pressed at that time) was this album by Tony, Caro & John, which was reissued on LP first a couple of years ago, but now got its official re-release on CD with liner notes, pictures and several bonus tracks. The whole album was recorded on a tape recorder with 2 tracked mono channels. Also this album has all the elements of the magical UK folk years, with acoustic guitars, bass, handpercussion and male/female vocal harmonies and singing, with some small parts of violin, various reverbs, electric wahwah guitar touches. Those persons who like Agincourt, and groups like that have a serious chew here.
Because the album was re-released on LP I gave it another listen and I must say I was surprised again by its quality of inspiration. There must have been a real special moment, atmosphere and even love affair haven been going on listening to to the songs and arrangements. There’s also a feeling of freedom with a few arrangements that crosses the edge of the obvious with creative solutions that are slightly funny but that firs so well and serious too. A happy energy there is. The female backing vocalist makes the association we get with Incredible String Band a bit stronger, but this still is a unique setting and moment of something magical happening. It worked and it’s saved on record ! At the first listens I had a few favourite songs, but now I see something of the same qualities, elements and association on each moment of the album. Recommended!…………
