ALBION BAND Battle Of The Field - 1976 Folk Music on 2001 CD
Format: CD Condition: New Year of Release: 2001 Cat. No.: 354 Label: Bgo (Beat Goes On) (Uk)
Battle of the Field was recorded by the Albion Country Band in 1973, but it wasn't released until 1976. The delay didn't really matter, since the group's music -- traditional English folk played on electric instruments -- is essentially timeless. The group wasn't quite as skilled as Fairport Convention, but they were nevertheless extraordinarily talented, and this arguably remains their finest moment.
