The Taverners - Seldom Sober (1970)

Just found this 1970 folk album in a charity shop for 69p and its in my rare record price guide for £18.
Its on the Saga Eros label (quite collectable in folk circles i believe hence the price)
I had a scoot round google and couldnt find a download of it so thought i'd up it to my blog
Enjoy

In Embrace - Passion fruit Pastels (1982)

Heres a weird one, to me it sounds like indie, post punk with a hint of jazz and folk in there, theres even what sounds like monk chanting style influences.
