What at first may seem a run-of-the-mill folk band, soon turns out to be something quite special indeed. No traditional material is being used, and much of the magic lies in the uncommon compositions, many of which rely on strangely sculptured melodies and partly improvised accompaniment. Neither as malicious as Comus nor as ironical as Dr. Strangely Strange, Forest manages to capture one of the essentials of British folk: closeness to the spirits of nature. Some tracks could easily please the Pan of the British Isles himself. Their sound is simultaneously intimate, and very wide and transparent. This wizardry comes out more on their first album than on the second. The playing is more inspired and less sloppy; the melodies are better (check out the wriggling, shifting harmonies on Don't Want To Go) and the arrangements are inventive and sympathetic to the material. Naturally, it made no commercial impact whatsoever.
The above is from Fuzz Acid and Flowers
This is an original US Harvest (SKAO-419) Promotional copy
The cover is VG++ due to a small bit of writing on the inside cover where a couple of songs are circled..and the standard promo hole in the cover. Also faint ring wear on back cover..please see scan.
The disc is in Mint - condition when graded under a bright strong light.
The labels are clean also---no spindle marks etc.
All in all a super nice copy of a scarce and excellent lp
Thanks for looking...
and good luck bidding.
BTW...this also has the humorous 'Harvest Crunch" breakfast cereal parody innersleeve.
