In 1972, after the release of "In Search Of Amelia Earhart", Plainsong went into the studio to make another record. It was completed, white label copies were made, one of the tracks, "Goodnight Lovin' Trail", was issued on an Elektra sampler, and then...nothing - for 33 years! Iain Matthews, who had grown to dislike the sessions, was offered a solo recording contract and jumped ship to USA - the project was abandoned and never released - until now. On CD2 of this issue, the "lost" lp is presented in all its glory. Iain and Andy did release some of the songs on solo projects, mostly re-worked, but this record is a real joy to hear. Goodnight Lovin' Trail" is a moving song about the old West, Andy's version of John Hartford's "First Girl I Loved" is the golden glow of nostalgia encapsulated and "All Around My Grandmother's Floor" is nothing short of a masterpiece. Apart from all this, you have the legendary version of "Along Comes Mary" that inspired the formation of the band in the first place plus several other tracks from radio sessions etc and, of course, the original ISOAE album. Everything you need from the heyday of this great and innovative band is here - it's been worth the wait.

The original In Search of Amelia Aerhart album has always been a firm favourite and unavailable for years - despite hassling - and my old vinyl copy had seen better days. What a great re-release - maybe hassling really does work after all.
If you haven't heard these guys before, check out 'Louise' and 'Amelia Aerhart's Last Flight' on CD 1. More importantly, how come they never released the album on CD 2? What a missed opportunity! It's at least as good as the first album and 'Keep on Sailing' and 'Miss the Mississippi' are quite superb! I'd better lay in another copy because I'm likely to wear this one out pretty soon!

I've loved this album for the last 30 odd years and to stumble across a 2 CD set of an unreleased album, singles and live tracks took time to sink in. Everything about this set is excellent, booklet, tracks etc but the live concert on disc 2 beats all.
