Label:	QUADRANT (SPAIN)
Format:	2CD

Catalog #:	QUAD 004CD

"In 1977, Mike Heron, formerly of The Incredible String Band and Heron, was still living in the Glen Row Scottish cottage, which had been the Incredible String Band's home and musical headquarter. He recorded a lot of songs between 1977 and 1978, using the home studio located in Glen Row with help from Frank Usher on guitar -- who had also played with Mike on Heron -- and Jon Bavin, the session engineer, on bass and keyboards along with a variety of local drummers. This double CD set contains the complete recordings from these sessions -- known for years between ISB fans as the 'Glen Row Tapes.' These tracks are the fruits of a period when Mike Heron was free from the constraints of having to write songs to fit in with a particular band's repertoire, and so able to explore and experiment with a variety of genres and approaches. The sheer range of material and styles are reminiscent of Dylan's Basement Tapes. Long unavailable, the songs have been lovingly remastered by Quadrant Records from the best available CD, cassette and vinyl sources and provide a unique insight into the Heron creative process. A couple of songs date back to ISB days ' -- 'Sold On Your Love,' which was released on a rare 7" single and a re-working of Liquid Acrobat's 'Red Hair' -- and there's also 'Lost In Space,' which was from the Heron live set. 27 tracks in total, including a song recorded in 2006 specially for this release though probably written around the same time as the other material. It features a 36-page booklet with detailed liner notes and pictures, and comes in nice slipcase."

Recorded in 2004/5. "Clive Palmer's new record is now released. With his new band from Cornwall, Clive gets us closer to his own world where folk becomes brilliantly strange and bizarre. The album is titled The Land Of No Return and includes new songs, a few new versions of old stuff and new recordings of COB's tunes. The record also includes a new version of 'Big City Blues,' one of the songs that Clive recorded with the Incredible String Band when he was a former of this legendary group."

Artist:	WILLIAMSON, ROBIN
Title:	Just Like The River And Other Songs With Guitar
Label:	QUADRANT (SPAIN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$24.00
Catalog #:	QUAD 012CD

"The Incredible String Band split in 1974 was the starting point of the solo careers of both their leaders. Mike Heron went into the rock scene, while Robin Williamson took the Celtic harp as his main instrument and soon became one of the biggest reformists of the traditional British music. For decades, many fans of Robin have been waiting him to take his acoustic guitar again and find out how his talent as songwriter and interpreter has remained the same. In the summer of 2007, Catalan label Quadrant proposed Robin recording an album like this, where the song concept stays higher than anything else and the instrumental pillars are acoustic guitar and vocals. Luckily Robin accepted, and Just Like The River And Other Songs With Guitar is the result of it. The album contains a good number of new songs, some new versions of old material, and great cover versions of Dylan and Jagger/Richards. Robin sings, plays acoustic guitar, bass drum, harp and also the organ on 'Song For Bina,' a psychedelic track that closes the album. The album is released on CD and also in a 500 limited deluxe vinyl pressing in 180g vinyl and gatefold cover."
