Marie Celeste "And Then Perhaps" (UK Folk 1971)
Ultra rare album by legendary psych/folk band. Mystic dark and beautiful. Like most musically strong private pressings, this is ultra-rare and changes hands for vast sums of money. 200 copies were pressed originally and the album blends cover versions (Gershwin's Summertime, Paul Simon's I Am A Rock and Joni Mitchell and Tom Paxton compositions), traditional material and some originals with Prisoner the best of the small crop. Most tracks have an acoustic backing with twin female vocals. The band were from the Midlands.
A must for lovers of esoteric underground UK folk in a similar vein to the style and mood of Oberon, Tickawinda etc..."

My God what a revelation this one is. The twin female vocals are pure witchery! Lizardson, you are truly the unrivaled main man!
Hello there. Is there any chance you could repost this? I can't seem to find the link.
Don't mean to be a pain and post again, but is there any chance that this could be reposted. I've been looking for this for ages!
Many thanks!
oh, PLEASE do re-upload this lp. it's so hard to hear/find otherwise. i've been wanting to hear this one for ages.
I have seen this band years ago in wolverhampton,a great sound & a great bunch of people.Whatever happened to them !!!!!!
I saw this band in the late 60's and early 70's at a number of events. They used to run their own Folk Club called the Sandpiper. At one Gig in Wolverhampton an unknown guy named "Robert Plant" got up on stage and sang with them. Great times, great memories.
Totally new to this blog (and this band)IS there a link to the recording or am I over-looking something???
This band has partially reformed under the name GLINT and perform at their folk club , the Sandpiper, every other Wednesday at the Piggot Arms Pattingham Wolverhampton....they are still amazing...
