Digitally remastered edition of this 1971 album from the British singer/songwriter. The album was an expression of his life and views at the time, innocence and complexity born of 60's idealism. The recording was made at Olympic Studios, coproduced by Vic Smith, and with performances by Chris Spedding, Madeline Bell, Doris Troy, Onnie McIntyre and Alan Gorrie (of AWB), Andy Roberts and Ray Russell.
