4 stars I first bought this album back in the early seventies and forgot all about it until finding the link/download on this site. I listened to Song to Comus and realised what I have been missing in the intervening years. So I bought the CD, who knows what happens to all the old LPs we bought in the past?

On listening to the whole CD I recalled what a gem this is. As anyone who listens to it will will realise it is a mixed bag with Diana, Drip Drip and Song to Comus as being the ones that stand out. Undoubtedly hints of Family and even the Edgar Broughton Band.

Undoubtedly it is not to everyones taste but I can't get the songs out of mind, which is impressive bearing in mind that some of the lyrics are hard to follow.

Sadly the three bonus tracks, other than the single version of Diana, seem plain boring in comparison with the original tracks, but hey you don't have to listen to them! On the whole a brillant album but if anyone says they don't like it, I think I can understand their point of view. Definitely not everyones taste but the same applies to the vast majority of my music collection.
