Fresh from his acclaimed exploits with Mr Fox, Bob Pegg signed to Transatlantic in 1973. Over the next two years, he cut three superb albums, two of them in collaboration with Nick Strutt. All three are included in full on this compilation, alongside three unissued cuts, a rare radio session, and a controversial single that nearly led to Pegg being arrested for the Yorkshire Ripper murders!
