The Watersons, For Pence and Spicy Ale, LP UK Topic Records 1975 - 12TS265

With Martin Carthy replacing John Harrison, the Watersons returned to the folk scene after several years of silence. It is, in the opinion of many, the group's best album. The new producer was Tony Engle; the recording was done by Nic Kinsey at London's Livingston Studios, and the album was released by Topic with a cover that reproduces, in color, an old postcard of the "Molly Dancers".
