If I can provide the blicky link,
the same newspaper more recently published
an in-depth interview with Eliza Carthy.

Reading this account was the first time that I heard the information:
that "The Moral of the Elephant,"
recorded with Martin Carthy and Eliza Carthy -- father and daughter -- alone together,
was the compromise decided upon when
the original plan fell through:
previously Norma Waterson was to reunite with husband and daughter
for tne next album together,
and when Norma's health did not permit at the time,
the other two simply had to record without her.
That's news to me. Here's the story, I hope.
