Digitally remastered edition of this 1997 release. One of England's most unusual rock outfits of the 1970s, Amazing Blondel are a trio whose members play instruments dating from medieval to Elizabethan times, and songs styled to those periods. Named for Richard the Lionhearted's legendary favorite minstrel, Amazing Blondel consists of three musicians from Scunthorpe, England: John David Gladwin (lute, oboe, cittern, double bass), Terry Wincott (pipe organ, harmonium, cittern, recorders, flute, crumhorn, tabor pipe, ocarina, guitar), and Edward Baird (guitar, guitern, percussion). They'd wearied of playing shows where the instruments were so loud it was impossible to hear themselves singing, and, as their acoustic set had gone over well with audiences, they moved in that direction. Some 30 years later the band was reformed by Barry Riddington of HTD Records and this classic album was recorded. Having been unavailable for some years this reissue re-packaged and with different photos will be sure to be of interest to all
