It always impressed me how good Steve was on both keyboards and guitar

There's a corker of a guitar solo on this gem

It's great to have the taste buds back after so long

When everything tasted metallic why bother…?!

Although the songs have very different soundscapes, the continuity of the album is superb.

I thought of using this in the Folk Cup - I am glad I didn't I think many of those voting wouldn't 'get it'

The Jethro Tull track offered up by Mike Boom got slaughtered

Many have a different view on folk than me....

Ah, just spotted it. I was quite happy to hear T2 again - I've played it a few times since, another perfect album.


Yes, Planxty are great, like Moving Hearts very much too. Shall have a think about some albums - the first Renbourn & Grossman album is a gem - I'd have entered Spirit Level into the cup.

Spotify have a different version to my CD

Unbelievably there are a couple of rubbish tracks between sides 1 and 2 of the LP

Can you believe that? Whatever was somebody thinking?

Anyway, the Spotify version has soem live stuff which I have never heard.

Fancy giving a couple of the tracks a go? [Starting with Medicated Goo?}
