Anyway, feel free to be as rude as you like about this one:-



Dr Strangely Strange are rather second-tier progfolkers, making only a few albums that met with mixed reviews. Heavy Petting, for instance, with its Roger Dean cover, is described by most internet sites as having just the one worthwhile track, which I am posting here for the kind attention of you and other MBers. ( The guitar solo in the middle is by Gary Moore, aged 17.)
Are you kidding? That was great.
