The cover is in excellent condition, as is the original lyric insert. The labels are perfect and the vinyl has a lovely, hardly played sheen to it. The sound was absolutely superb. The cover was clearly signed by 2 of the band members – Keith Donnelly and Martyn Oram.

The Waterfall duo of Keith Donnelly (guitar and vocals, who wrote all but one of the songs on this album) and Martyn Oram (violin, mandolin, guitar and bowed psaltery) met at Warwick University. They were joined by Gilly Darbey to forge a trio in 1978 having heard her sing at the folk club at Lanchester Poly in Coventry. They produced this album a year later. The album is a great set of original songs that Gilly really brings to life with her strong and emotional vocals. Great songwriting with some great and intelligent lyrics, especially on ‘The stranger’ and the title track. Other standout tracks are ‘But I love you’ which could have been a successful single and the moving and atmospheric ‘Swansong’. Another of those forgotten albums that has really stood the test of time. Great music and some powerful vocals.
