ALBUM REVIEW
Great fold out LP reissue of this album regarded by many to be their magnum opus. The band's third album from 1971 is a masterpiece of UK soft psychedelic folk. With delicate pastoral harmony vocals superimposed over a mix of acoustic and electric backing. In particular "Bridge At Knaresborough Town" stands out with its climatic eastern raga guitar, whilst Rick Wakeman guests on one track, as does guitarist Davey Johnstone who later played with Elton John. 180 gram vinyl and thick card folding sleeve as per the original re-creating the fruit box.
