Description
11.59 – This Our Sacrifice Of Praise (Dovetail) UK (1974)
UK xian/folk LP, as comped on 'Folk Is Not A Four Letter Word 2'.
Complete with original lyric insert
Superb write up in Ken Scott’s Archivist book:
“Seven-person British male/female progressive folk out?t scoring one of the top releases for the Dovetail label (as well as UK folk in general). Very dreamy, moody production replete with seagull sounds, babbling brooks, soaring mellotron, ?ute, auto-harp, soft organ, electric guitar — all against a beautiful landscape of acoustic guitar work and haunting ethereal femme vocals. Stirring titles like ‘The Earth Is The Lord’s’, ‘To Thy Holy Name’, ‘The Lord Has Done Great Things For Us’, ‘Let Us Thank The Lord’, ‘The Shepherd’ and ‘By The Waters Of Babylon’, all with lyrics inspired by the book of Psalms. A couple of cuts are more up-tempo, such as ‘Hallelujah Jesus’ (midway through the song the music stops for an elderly British woman to state: “It’s a noisy hymn. I only hope it will get over to the non-believers”). ‘Praise The Lord!’ is the other example, a superb high-energy electric folk-rock track. For the most part, though, it’s the ballads that are the winners here…turn the lights out, crank it up, and sail away.”
Condition sleeve/vinyl: Vg/Ex (beginnings of a seam split to top edge, some general light wear. Disc looks barely played
