First pressing on beautiful 180 gram vinyl in a lavish gatefold sleeve of this astonishing album. Fotheringay remain one of the great might-have-beens of British music. They lasted less than a year, and released just one album, but their disappearance robbed the early-70s scene of a group of musicians capable of taking folk-rock to new heights of subtlety and musicianship. Now, the nine songs on that debut album; assumed for almost four decades to be their sole testament, are joined by the eleven that would have constituted a follow-up. Sadly the group broke up during the recording sessions for their second album. Incredibly all the tapes survived in various record company archives. 38 years later the surviving members of the group have mixed all the material to finally complete this remarkable album. When originally released their debut album went straight into the Top Twenty in both Melody Maker and NME, and is now an acknowledged classic recording of British folk-rock. It is very, very rare that musicians get the chance to complete a project begun 38 years earlier. The second Fotheringay album has been eagerly awaited by all fans of Sandy Denny, British folk-rock and by fans of great music in general. During the recordings for this 'was-to'be' their second album the band consisted of: Sandy Denny - vocals, piano, 12 string guitar, harmonium, Trevor Lucas - vocals, electric & acoustic guitars Jerry Donahue - lead electric, acoustic & alto guitars, backing vocals, Pat Donaldson - bass, duet & backing vocal and Gerry Conway - drums, percussion, backing vocals tracks: Side One: John The Gun, Eppie Moray, Wild Mountain Thyme, Knights Of The Road, Late November, Restless Side Two: Gypsy Davey, I Dont Believe You, Silver Threads and Golden Needles, Bold Jack Donahue, Two Weeks Last Summer"
