The Decca release, in particular, is ultra-rare and very sought-after by collectors of this genre.
In fact the album is perhaps the most expensive major label album of the 'progressive' era.
Their vocalist Pete French, a South Londoner, played with his cousins Mick Halls in various rock/blues
outfits like Switch and Joe Poe before teaming up with Bob Brunning to form the Brunning Sunflower Blues Band.
By 1969, French had moved on to Black Cat Bones and Halls later joined him. Then, in the latter half of 1970,
they evolved into Leaf Hound.The album's name is very misleading. Anyone expecting an acid rock classic
from the title and cover of the UK release is going to be very disappointed. This is driving hard rock
in the Led Zeppelin mould. Nonetheless French's voice is raw and strong ideally suited to music of this type
and the album is full of driving, incisive guitar work from Mick Halls and his colleagues. This is particularly evident
on tracks like Drowning My Life In Fear, Stagnant Pool, Sad Road To The Sea and A Minute To Go
but there are no weak cuts on the album...(Tapestry of Delights)
