Scarce vinyl pressing housed in a gatefold sleeve of the 2005 album from legendary pastoral folk singer/songwriter, her first in nearly 30 years!! Features collaborations w/JOANNA NEWSOME, DEVENDRA BANHART, ADEM, ADAM PIERCE (Mice Parade), ROBERT KIRBY (Nick Drake orchestrator/Strawbs keyboardist), Otto Hauser & Kevin Barker (Espers, Currituck County). A neat balance between gentle spaciousness & heavier, more orchestrated numbers.
2 CD set complete collection of Vashti’s existing early recordings, the album is divided across two discs and features 25 tracks - mostly rescued from a number of old acetates and quarter-inch tapes Vashti’s brother John had found in his attic a few years ago.The first disc gathers together the early singles (two of which were unreleased) and a set of taped demos recorded between 1965 - 67. Discovered via an industry friend by Rolling Stones manager/guru Andrew Loog Oldham, who gave her a Jagger/Richards song, (‘Some Things’) Vashti was put in the studio to record the song accompanied by a full orchestra.The second disc comprises the entire, unaltered contents of a long-forgotten tape discovered at the last minute before mastering, whilst Vashti was searching for one of the master reels for disc one. Featuring just Vashti’s voice and guitar, unadorned and with no overdubs, the twelve songs here were rattled out one after another with spoken introduction in one hour of time she’d borrowed the money for and booked at a studio in central London in 1964.
