The Watersons, For Pence and Spicy Ale,
LP US Shanachie Records 1986 - 79056
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. The album was then reissued in the States with a beautiful cover photo by Keith Morris.
Con Martin Carthy al posto di
John Harrison, gli Watersons ritornano sulle scene del folk dopo alcuni
anni di silenzio. Si tratta, a giudizio di molti, del miglior album del
gruppo. Il nuovo produttore è Tony Engle: la registrazione
è fatta da Nic Kinsey nei londinesi Livingston Studios e la
pubblicazione è opera della Topic. Il disco è poi
ristampato negli states con una bella foto di copertina di Keith
Morris.
