Some words on this issue: COLLINS, SHIRLEY: “A Favourite Garland” (Deram – SML-R-1117) Original 1974 Deram pressing. Rare to say the least. Stunning collection of Shirley Collins songs and tunes that range from 1964 to 1971. Every single track on this record is a winner and some of the highlights include “Staines Morris” where she gets assisted by Fairport Convention players such as Richard Thompson, Ashley Hutchings, Dave Mattacks, John Kirkpatrick and Barry Drainsfield, totally electrifying (literally as well as musically) the already hauntingly beautiful folk songs of Shirley. On “Lady Margaret and t Sweet William”, Shirley accompanies herself solely on Dulcimer banjo, there were sister Dolly steps in on flute organ on the track “One Night As I Lay On My Bed”., making it almost medieval Spartan in its execution but not less jawdroppingly great as all the rest on this album On each individual track, Shirley's voice is endowed with that heart petrifyingly pure quality that is most supernaturally in its beauty. Other tracks such as “Nottamun Town” sets Shirley's voice ablaze against the raga-infested finger pickings of legendary Davy Graham. In all Shirley just never lets down on and on each occasion she transports you to those higher musical planes. So to these ears only superlatives apply when speaking of her and words like angelic, ethereal, elevatingly beautiful, hypnotic and bestowed with a lysergic quality are some of the words that apply to her but then again they fall short each time when trying to convey Shirley Collins' mesmerizing music. This is stuff of legends and no Shirley in your collection equals having no life. And that is a fact. Top copy!! And Damned rare especially in this condition.
