Vinylization
The album managed to reach number 11 in the U. This would see the arrival of Dave Lambert very shortly which would give the band an even harder edge with the guitar work and also the addition of rockier vocals. K.
charts. Rick Wakeman had already left to become the stuff of legends with Yes and Blue Weaver from Amen Corner had the unenviable task of following the great man.
This was also to be Tony Hooper's last contribution with the band as the stylistic changes were not heading in the direction he wished for. A task which he completed with some style it has to be said. This is the album that signalled the beginning of the end for the Strawbs immersion in folk and heralded the arrival of the band on the progressive rock scene. Lyrically the album is said to tell the story of a man's life but certainly the tracks 'New World' and 'Heavy Disguise' refer to the events and situation in Northern Ireland at that time.
