about

This record was a big challenge and a bit scary to do for us. Sandy Denny original versions is so perfect as they are and here voice is one of the greatest in pop history if you ask us. We tried with one song, “By the time it gets dark” on the Ep with the same name. Fruits de Mer records, that released the EP, asked us if we would like to do something more ambitious around Sandys songs. An album was too much and an EP to small and the idea with a 10-inch record came up.

It became a rather varied record. Two short and rather typical Us and Them versions of Winterwinds and Take away the load, an experimental version of Next time around, the classic Farewell, Farewell with drums and Tony Swettenham on mellotron and at last the records centerpiece The Banks of the Nile. It is a traditional song which is a sort of conversation between a man, who was drafted to the war, and his wife. Soo we did it as a duet and asked our guests from the Wickerman Ep to join us again. Ludvig Josephson did the male part in the duet and Tony Swettenham contributed with mellotron and organ.
