"Beggars' Hill" (UK Folk 1976)
UK private pressing 1976 (Moonshine MS 60).
Just a hand full of these were ever pressed, for the boys from Croyden and their friends and relations and is now much sought after as an underground time capsule of its genre.
Containing psych/folk versions of some classic English folk traditional numbers as well as covers from the likes of Fairport Convention and others, this really is a private pressing worth listening to.

こんにちは！
今日初めてこちらを知り、レアなUK FOLKやPROGがたくさんあったので興奮してしまいました。また、後期四人囃子（現在も活動されているようなので後期は変ですかね？）や
新月といった日本の古き良きPROGも嬉しかったデス。
たくさん頂いたのでまずはお礼にと書込みした次第です。どうもありがとうございます。
次回書込みさせて頂く時にリクエストさせていただいてもよろしいでしょうか？今日からちょくちょく見に来させてもらいますので、これからもいいポストを期待しています（＾＾）
美鏡乱さま、
こちらこそです。
久しぶりに日本語の書き込みを頂きまして感謝しております^^
ご期待に応えられるか判りませんが、何時でもリクエストお待ちしております。
The introduction sounds interesting. I'm very excited to hear this recording.
Once again Lizardson you hit gold with this album!! I have watched this trade hands on Ebay for big money. I am delighted to finally have an opportunity to hear this album! Thanks so much! Dr. Q
I had wondered what this one sounded like - it was in an article on rare private pressings in Record Collector a few years ago and its striking sleeve is memorable. It's really stretching it to call it psych folk (I think this description is often used by dealers with folk records to try to attract more customers!). What we have is a very competent band with some good ensemble singing and a rather good female singer - she makes a very creditable version of "Who knows where the time goes". It's a shame that the song choices weren't a bit more adventurous - probably a case of a crowd-pleasing live set being transferred straight to vinyl. ("The Wild Rover" is particularly hackneyed!) Overall though, a very pleasing album...and I do like that sleeve...
Thanks Lizardson!
