Album title: St. Radigunds
Artist: Spirogyra
Nationality: English
Label: B&C Records
Chronology: Debut
Grade: C
The Trollheart Factor: 0
Factsheet: Another band from the Canterbury scene, it appears these guys, unlike many of their contemporaries, actually came from that area. This album received some critical praise on its release but as an “underground” thing. They released two more before breaking up in 1974, leaving singer Barbara Gaskin to have a major hit with Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart in “It’s My Party” (God how I hated that fucking song!) and a reformation of the band around 2005, but with the death of its founder in 2018 that was it for Spirogyra.
Tracklisting: The Future Won’t Be Long/ Island/ Magical Mary/ Captain’s Log/ At Home in the World/ Cogwheels Crutches and Cyanide/ Time Will Tell/ We Were a Happy Crew/ Love is a Funny Thing/ The Duke of Beaufoot
