A Forgotten Gem - By: Pripp, 05 Aug 2008
This album has only been released officiallyin South Korea & it was very hard do get. It's now remastered with a exellent booklet written by Mark Powell. The sound quality is very good indeed & one wonders why it took so long to release one of the best albums by The Strawbs. All's well that ends well!

The album is a more striped down affair if you compare it to their first album. Tony Visconti's production give a more pastoral feeling than any other album made by the band, & it sounds a bit like Nick Drakes first album. There is no "stand out tracks" on the album, since all the songs, written mostly by Dave Cousins, is of highest standard, but if I have to pick a few favorites it will be "Another Day", "I Turned my Face ...", "Josephine" & the title track.
