"It's widely known that Strawbs' first album was recorded in Copenhagen in the summer of 1967 during Sandy Denny's tenure with the group ... It's a surprise, however, to learn there was a second Strawbs album, recorded in 1968, but which was immediately abandoned. Its recording preceded the group's A&M debut, "Strawbs", by almost a year. [Dave] Cousins has now recreated that missing album from the original tapes - an absolutely fascinating work he prevaricated over putting out for fear of what people might think. He needn't have worried".
