Description

Leg End (also known as Legend) is the debut album of British avant-rock group Henry Cow.  In May 1973 Henry Cow signed a contract with Virgin Within two weeks of signing the contract, Henry Cow began recording their debut album Leg End at Virgin's Manor Studios in Oxfordshire. It took three weeks of hard work, but at the end they knew how to handle the studio themselves, which would prove to be invaluable later in their career. The track "Nine Funerals of the Citizen King", sung by the whole group, was Henry Cow's first overt political statement. With the exception of "Nine Funerals of the Citizen King", which the whole group sings, and background voices on "Nirvana for Mice" "Teenbeat" and "The Tenth Chaffinch", this is an instrumental album.
