about

Released 1971 on RCA. This was our fourth album and the first that we felt reflected what the group was all about. Quite traditional material but well-recorded. Pete Kerr produced. Members of the group are Derek Moffat, Hamish Bayne and Ian McCalman. Ian writes the very idiosyncratic notes from information gleaned via a flawed memory.

credits

released June 6, 1971

Producer: Pete Kerr
Engineer: Robert Sibbald
Bass: Rick Nickerson (from Rankin file)
Recorded at Craighall Studios, Edinburgh, 1971
Cover photo: Ian McCalman, first ever "selfy". It was taken in a beaten up cafe's carpark on the A1, England. Looking at the map, no wonder we were lost.
