Official reissue of the 1976 debut by SPRIGUNS (previously known as Spriguns of Tolgus). The band adopted a Fairport-like electric folk-rock sound, capped by Mandy Morton's silky velvet vocals. Electric violin and electric guitars evoke misty ancient moorlands and create a suitable backing for Mandy's beautiful voice. Fabulous.This is one superb UK folk rock album that until now has been only available via bootlegs or expensive Japanese imports. ~ Freak Emporium

Spriguns was folkier than Steeleye Span, more electric than the bands that came after – sort of Fairport-like without the jolly cult following. Like Steeleye Span, Spriguns had no problem cranking up the electricity when needed, including Tom Ling's excellent electric violin and Dick Powell's guitar, capped by Mandy Morton's silky velvet vocals. The album has its moments: some nice adaptations of traditional material in an electriced-up format (Lord Lovell) and a feel for the more supernatural material in the English folk canon. And Mandy Morton's understated vocal style really works when it works. ~ Sakalli
