Coming from the pre-LF time still under the name of "Brethren" and "Downtown Faction" are Jeff Sadler and Richard Squirrel.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This is a good quality recording, no pops and scratches ;-), and even the two bonus tracks are good as well as familiar. The spine has a tear in it right in the centre, and a small split at the top of the cover, but the rest of the cover is great. Songwriting is decent, usually containing ok verses followed by some catchy singalong choruses (complete with great harmonies).A more masculine brand of English folk rock, complete with strong melodies and eerily reedy harmonies. When you slide this out, a colour photograph of the band is revealed - a shot I had not seen before, of the group looning about on the shore in front of Holy Island. Stücke wie der "Jackhammer Blues" oder der "Knacker's Yard Blues" sind nicht nach meinem Geschmack und passen auch nicht wirklich in den Flow. I have happy memories of being blinded by the halogen spots they’d turn on the crowd at the chorus of Clear White Light, their long-time closing song.

As there was no one around I tore out the page and put the sheet music book back in the piano stool. This debut is probably their best, boasting pint-swinging tunes like "Lady Eleanor", "Scarecrow Song", "Clear White Light" and "We Can Sing Together".

Spectrum was design company owned by Joe Robertson, responsible for early Lindisfarne imagery/posters etc. Track B1 published by Hazy/Heathside, Track B4 published by Stratsong and Track B5 published by Essex Music. Ray Jackson and myself had met at art college, a well-known safe haven for musicians who had yet to figure out how to make a living from music. Some of the songs are cruder in their arrangements than they became, notably We Can Swing Together, and I sometimes hear echoes of contemporaries: the Faces certainly, perhaps too Dr Strangely Strange. Title change because Lindisfarne's in-joke 'Alan in the River with Flowers' = 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' did not amuse the americans so they reverted to the songs original title.
