True period piece. Naively sitting somewhere between Incredible String Band and Dr Strangely Strange: Cardiff's own acid folk husband and wife duo Graham and Anne Hemingway (spot the not so private joke on surname). At the time Sounds wrote: "One of the most refreshingly original albums of the year". Refreshing? Bien sur. Original? It matters not. Herein find buckets of wide-eyed charm, and full deployment of familiar psych folk tools of trade: dulcimer, glockenspiel and bells. Kazoo outro on first track sure sign of a winner.

Spooky! Just been reading about this in Jeanette Leech's excellent "Seasons They Change - The Story of Acid and Psychedelic Folk" and had made a mental note to check it out. Y Brawd delivers once again, then!
Beauty. Thank you for sharing this.
keep it coming!
Part ISB, part slightly embarassing. The Salvation Army tamborine is a bit hard to take, but the good stuff here is very fine indeed. There's a photo of them in the Leech book, from a rare TV appearance. Seems they didn't like travelling far from Cardiff which made touring a bit tricky.
I wonder what they're up too now?
Thanx a lot!
