Beware : This CD is sourced from vinyl.......2004-02-20

It's nice to have this "Record" available after so long. Any British folk album from 1965 generally has some merit, and this is no exception. The first album by Mick Softley, and most of the tracks are original. Extensive liner notes mentioning various aspects of Mick's career, including record releases, early history and influences, and more recent news. The compiler is very excited about this eventually being available on CD. But not so excited about informing the music buying public that the sound comes from someone's 39 year old record.

Still, it's a relatively clean copy, and if you can't wait until someone finds the master tapes and does the job properly you won't be disappointed, now that you've been informed.

Four stars when they use the master tapes.
