Recordings
MIRKWOOD ( Local Label Flams Ltd PR 1067) 1973, 99 copies.
A very rare and valued issue on heavy vynal - Copies of this album have been seen for sale at over £600. Recorded and produced by Ron Nunn, who also produced the brilliant cover. The record was kindly issued on his family label by John Scott Cree another popular Dover musician and frequent inhabitant of the Louis Armstrong Public House (Formerly "The Grapes") in Dover.
Reissued (Tenth Planet TP 003) 1993, 500 copies only.
Credit is due to David Wells who discovered this album again, traced a reasonable copy and licenced it to produce 500 albums. The problem with rare and expensive albums is that they don't get played and are locked away form those who would like to hear them. His promotion has enabled the world to get a chance to hear this great album again, but are still in short supply.
Re-Release 2004 Label: Amber Soundroom (Germany)This fine Album has been remastered and re-released in Gemany.
