I first heard 'Adam and the Beasts' in the 1970s as sung by the Dransfields on the LP 'Lord Of All I Behold', and proceeded immediately to learn it. I still occasionally sing it, although I've never heard anyone else sing it live. I find this surprising as it's such a powerful song.

It's only recently that I was able to listen to Alasdair Clayre's original version on Spotify, along with some of his other songs.
