I recognize some Peter and Clive Sarstedt songs in that mix. Any involvement by them?
Strange record to say the least.
that is the shittiest cover ever!! It just had to be said! Who thought that cover would help sell the record?
oh well. glad you are ok lizardson!
I have that record myself -- from what I understand it is a recording of "genuine" buskers in the streets of London.
"The Buskers" were George & Paul Furey (of The Fureys) with Davey Arthur (a Scottish guy) -- good friends of mine (I had an old guitar we used to play some music after a concert in my home town with all their autographs scratched into it -- we were quite drunk that night....)
Pleaaaaaase reopen the Archie Fisher posting:

Archie Fisher with Barbara Dickson
"Thro' the Recent Years" 1971
I am such a big Archie-Fan and I never heard that record before.
Thank you so much!
Best regards
Simon Napier-Bell revealed the true story of this album in his memoir book "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" «Of course we couldn't use real buskers, they'd be oo difficult to sign up. (...) So instead we got a studio full of session musicians and told them to play their favourite songs. We recorded it live with no rehearsals, no mixing, no overdubbing. There are few mistakes but no more than if we'd spent three months rounding up the best buskers and meticulously multitracking an authentic album. The buskers' album took three hours and was full of good songs and happy atmosphere. We took a photo of a fat lady from a model agency (...) we said she was Madame Butterfly from Brixton, a well-known London busker». Pure genius, isn't it?
