And that is something in which Sydney Carter rejoiced, and something in which I think many songwriters rejoice - the sense that something you crafted has come to life and moved out of your control, and stayed alive.

Sydney Carter fans might rejoice that And Now it is So Early has taken on a life of its own and might had entirely gratis, cover art and all, from HERE. This is the album he made with Bob and Carole Pegg back in 1970, with most of the songs performed by B&C (a must for Mr Fox fans) with some sterling contributions from Mr Carter himself. So, follow that link and get downloading! Long deleted (as far as it ever existed at all) the prospects of a CD re-issue on this one are as remote as one could wish - might happen if T.Mobile get a notion to use one of the songs in one of their advert, thus inspiring a second wave of Neo-Folkery... A truly charming little record.
