Rob Young’s book Electric Eden, for which this double CD is a companion, charted the unruly assimilation of British folk music into Folk Rock.
A rare demo version of Fairport Convention’s monumental 1969 epic A Sailor’s Life is a key track, jumping the hedgerow to a world of wyrd folk hybrids.
A shortened version of Murder of Maria Marten sees The Albion Band place a flighty Shirley Collins in heavy rhythmical harness, and Pentangle’s jazzy Jack Orion paints the titular harpist as a Greenwich village vibes master.
The inclusion of various intriguing unknowns suggests further tantalizing tributaries.
