"This may be a demo, but it has the best songs I've heard in ages. This is classic folk which reminds me of the best of Dylan, The Beatles or Neil Young in the 60's early 70's. It's a rough recording (demo) but if you have a heart you'll be moved by this legendary english folk band from Canterbury."

The band's best material!

"This is a demo? The sound quality's great and the songs are just outstanding. I mean, I love their studio albums to death-- but the tunes included here are more expressive, more passionate than anything on their studio albums. The style here is folkiers than on the studio albums, but man oh man, are the songs good. Barbara Gaskin's never sounded better. For anyone who likes Spirogyra, this is a must-have. For anyone who wants to find out about Spirogyra, this is a great place to start (although it *is* a bit different than their studio sound). Absolutely brilliant from the opening track "Turn Again Lane" to the closer "Burn the Bridges'. Wow-- thank goodness these tracks were salvaged from the archive before it was too late."
