The vinyl edition comes with 6 high-quality lithograph art prints (by UK illustrator Hannah Al- ice) representing each of the birds on the album, held in a heavy board die-cut gatefold sleeve. This unique packaging is fully interactive - the cover image is interchangeable with any of the prints. CD version comes as a deluxe 'bookback' edition, comprising all the illustrations and notes over 24 pages. Remastered by Brian Pyle from original tapes. Vinyl limited to 1000 copies . For fans of Jansch this 1979 work is often the album that is singled out as his best work. The freedoms of a post-Pentangle career are much in evidence; folk rock and even trad folk give way to an album that is not only without lyrical accompaniment but really quite orchestral, classical even, in its composi- tion.. Featuring ex-bandmate Danny Thompson, alongside Martin Jenkins with sleeve notes by Jansch aficionado Colin Harper (author of 'Dazzling Stranger: Bert Jansch and the British Folk and Blues revival).
