"Silver Birch" (UK Folk 1973)

This is one of the most highly sought after original UK folk private presses and extremely hard to find. This lovely 6 piece of traditional covers and self composed tracks with gentle honest harmonies was created by a group from Grimsby (originally known as the Forestry Commission) comprising Martin Bartlett (vocals , fiddle ), Jayne Clark ( vocals , harmonium ), Geoff Liles ( vocals , harmonium , mandolin , autoharp , guitar , bells ), Derek Rushmer ( vocals , guitar , autoharp , recorder , bells ), Angie Seal ( vocals , tambourine bells ), Dave Woods ( vocals , autoharp , guitar , bells , recorders ) and who produced this sole album. It’s one of those records which is a treasure to own, the history and impossible nature of it’s survival. This copy is very strong, it plays with occasional light noise in quieter moments but nothing compromising, looks real clean, has a great private label and cover is real nice. Strictly graded.Ttrack listing : side 1 - ushers well, come by the hills, daddy fox, crazy man Michael, dance tunes, flower and young man, bells. side 2 - lord franklin, lyke wake dirge, wild flying dove, bold reynold, orange, balloon, trees, glimpse of heaven.
