The Watersons 'Frost And Fire: A Calendar Of Ritual And Magical Songs' LP reissue
The Watersons - ‘Frost And Fire: A Calendar Of Ritual And Magical Songs’ LP reissue.
Originally released in 1965 and unavailable on vinyl since 1967, 'Frost and Fire, A Calendar Of Ritual and Magical Songs,' was the debut album from the then new group on the folk scene.
Sympathetically and carefully re-mastered from the original master and cut at 45rpm for optimal quality, the resulting sound on this new release of Frost and Fire is nothing short of a revelation. Belying it's years, the power and sonority of the voices hits the listener just as hard now as it did in 1965.
