This album reminds me of wild nights dancing and drinking ginger beer at Cropredy fest, which, as a 5 yr old child blew my little mind!

This album is too good to have this few shouts, so: more shouts. Seriously, spot in the Top 5 greatest folk-rock albums of all time.

Dieses Album ist einfach nur sagenhaft, kenne es schon seit über 20Jahren und höre es immer gerne.

This is still my favourite folk album of all time but why are the versions of Matty Groves and The Deserter here on Last fm completely different from those on the original vinyl? And not a patch on the originals. Listeners are missing out on the two best tracks on this classic album. I'm new to Last fm and enjoying the ride, but can anyone explain how this can happen?

I guess that was your intention. :I

But doesn't that now make this album not good enough to have any shouts?

This album is too good not to have any shouts. And thus: shout!
