Subject: RE: Help: Are English Tapestry still about ?
Oo-er, apologies for the last post - accidentally submitted early;

Intrigued by this thread - I just acquired the generally very solid 1974 Folksound Records compilation LP 'The First Folk Review Record' (also featuring Nic Jones, Peter Bellamy and others):

...And I'm very taken by the two English Tapestry pieces (Valentine Chant and Whitsuntide Carol).

Does anyone know if the possibility of a proper release has progressed at all? I'd love to hear further recordings by them; I'm generally a fan of this sort of dramatic, austere harmony singing with certain Early Music resonances, as per some of TYT's best matetial; and also THE Valley Folk.
