Did the reissue of 'He Came From the Mountains' ever happen? Couldn't find anything when I googled it, other than a reference to Vinyl Japan going under in 2006 (in relation to another band). In any case wasn't this a Trailer release first time round, which means it's probably languishing on the Celtic Music stockpile?... Be nice to see it getting a second airing. I bought the Mr Fox two-albums-on-one-CD reissue and I have to say, in my deeply humble opinion it's the best British folk rock record ever made, without a doubt. Excellent original songwriting in the vein of the darker end of trad, unusual instrumentation, prominent use of drone, Carol's fantastic sawing violin style. Truly the missing link between the Velvet Underground and early Steeleye Span... the reissue of Bob Pegg's solo work is well worth getting yer mits on too, if only for the sublime 'Jesus Christ Sitting on Top of a Hill in the Lake District'... Cheers Nigel
