- Comments
- Quite a few references to writers and books (Ray Bradbury, H.P. Lovecraft, the Egyptian Book Of The Dead) in the track titles, plus Peel reading a poem from what appears to be a children's book published in India.
- Full tracklisting thanks to Tim Joseph. Link
- Tim's listing has the Third Ear Band doing a musical interpretation of the Indian Book Of The Dead, which may not exist. The Tibetan Book Of The Dead was read by hippies, as was its Egyptian counterpart which inspired the TEB's composition.
- Debut session by Tim Hart and Maddy Prior, more than a year before they became founder members of Steeleye Span. 1n 1968-9 they recorded a couple of LPs of Folk Songs Of Old England for the obscure Tepee label, which made little impact at the time but were reissued in 1974 after Steeleye's commercial success.
