23-SCLP 006
“Ultra rare £3000+ serene folk inflected progressive rock. Cherry Red recently used one song from a poor condition acetate on a recent compilation.
Three acetate copies were made in 1970, and Seelie Court used the only surviving near mint LP that’s owned by an ex–member as source with great audio. The songs ’Oakenshade’ and ’Waxing Of The Moon’ are poetic genius, using a guitar with a damaged bridge to create a sitar like drone, the vocals have an air of resigned melancholia, and the lyrics connect with a mystical understanding of and reverence for nature.
Issued with the full cooperation of all the band. Lifeblud later explored a heavier sound that sometimes hits the level of High Tide. Housed in a gatefold sleeve with band history, reproducing the original typed lyric sheets, and repro of the acetate labels.”
