Lal & Mike Waterson, Bright Phoebus, LP Trailer 1972 - LES 2076

A stunning, incredible, and beautiful album, now hard to find on vinyl, though there's some hope for the CD version released in 2000. The cover artwork is by Janet Kerr and the production is by Bill Leader. Mike and Lal's compositions are arranged and performed by Martin Carthy, Richard Thompson, Ashley Hutchings, Dave Mattacks, and others: the leading figures in British folk music at the time.

Disco stupendo, incredibile e bellissimo, ormai di non facile reperibilità in vinile, qualche speranza in più c'è per la versione su CD edita nel 2000. L'artwork di copertina è di Janet Kerr e la produzione di Bill Leader. Le composizioni di Mike e Lal sono arrangiate ed eseguite da Martin Carthy, Richard Thompson, Ashley Hutchings, Dave Mattacks e altri: gli elementi di maggior spicco nel folk britannico in quegli anni.
