After one UK Top 20 LP in summer 1970, the band\nsplit while recording a follow up, leaving Denny free to make her frst solo album.\nA beguiling mixture of covers and originals, The North Star Grass Man And The\nRavens is one of THE essential British folk-rock albums. From the dreamlike Late\nNovember to the plaintive Next Time Around to her reading of the traditional\nstandard Blackwaterside, the album is a near perfect capture of the talent on the\nscene at that juncture: including Richard Thompson's unmistakable guitar playing,\nJohn Wood's production and Harry Robinson's string arrangements. Released in\nSeptember 1971, its reputation has understandably grown exponentially over the\nyears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut of print on LP for a number of years, this re- issue faithfully replicates the\noriginal 1971 Island Records UK release with gatefold sleeve and is pressed onto\nhigh quality 180g vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49978735427826,"sku":"UMCLP6","price":7.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/sandydlp.png?v=1787664172","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/the-north-star-grassman-and-the-ravens-vinyl-lp","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
