Mini-LP CD (original vinyl
artwork updated by Roger
Dean) A British singer songwriter with an eccentric sense of humour and flair for poetry, Mike Absalom
was signed to the progressive Vertigo label, that released this album in 1971.
A rare collector's item for many years, the original LP was graced by the artwork of Roger Dean,
later to find fame as the sleeve designer for Yes, and many other Seventies artists. The cover art
depicts Notting Hill scenes and amusing characters from Absalom's quirky sagas - such as 'John The
Bog' and the 'Ernie Plugg's Bust'.
Produced by Patrick Campbell-Lyons (of 60s group Nirvana fame), this collection recalls the
extraordinary diversity of the Prog Rock Folk scene. • Classic Roger Dean cover, newly updated
