Peter Bellamy's 'Oak Ash & Thorn' Argo album of 1970, of which this is the opening track, is now covered by a recent Folk Police remake of 2011 with Jon Boden, the Unthanks, et al ~ the one linked by Nigel three posts back ~ as part of a project of 'reprising' some of Peter's Kipling albums with new singers. Quite nicely done at that, to judge from this track ~~ but what a pity the original had never gone on to CD. I still have, and play, my old vinyl 33s, having been successful in tracking down a player a few years ago; but I suspect few of the present generation will have this access to Pete's originals.
