FROGMORTON/AT LAST 6308 261 (-76) UK

 

One-off from a UK folk rock band that's new to me and I can't seem to find any valuable facts about from the net either. All info is welcome! Music is much in the same vein as Steeleye Span or Fairport Convention, though partly a bit more advanced. Listening today it's safe to say they must have played together for quite a long time before this issue. All cuts but two self-penned and all very handily executed, including both female and male vocals. Not going into the separate tracks here, instead adding full album below so you can hear for yourself. To my ears a very good folk rock album, though the fact that it was their only makes it harder to be immediately familiar. The Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span fans are often already in when listening to another of the band's albums, but as this was a one-off from a more unknown combo it can take at least a couple of hearings to get acquainted. So don't be disheartened by its singularity, if you're true fan of folk rock it's certainly worth while. To my knowledge this UK was the only vinyl issue, also on cassette (Philips 7108 157). UK 2002 CD on Elegy (E 630/1) came with one bonus track. Vinyl had label as shown here in a thin glossy cover.  (BRYF*)  (FÄV*)
