Seems the original recording came out as an LP in 1977: another reviewer of the CD version has described it thus:
"I am a great admirer of the Watersons, of Lal Waterson and Norma Waterson, so perhaps I was expecting too much from this record which was released on Topic in 1977, and probably accurately reflects Topic's somewhat minimalist approach of the time i.e limited simple musical accompaniment, and a short playing time." Notwithstanding that, he or she has sy till given it 4 stars!
