John Renbourn, The Lady and the Unicorn, LP UK Transatlantic Records ‎1970 - TRA 224

 

Another excellent album. The group of musicians accompanying Renbourn expands, and among them, violinist Dave Swarbrick stands out. Initially released by Transatlantic and recorded by producer Bill Leader at the legendary Livingstone Studios, the album was released digitally by Shanachie in 1992 and remastered by Castle with two bonus tracks in 2003. The cover features a drawing entitled "The Lady and the Unicorn Tapestry."
