Pressed in only 200 copies without a proper picture sleeve and recorded live in a single session, it has since become a collector\u2019s treasure \u2013 a haunting message in a bottle from the British folk underground.<\/p>\n<p>Formed in the late \u201960s by childhood friends Brian Lindop (vocals, guitar) and Jon Tame (bass), the group evolved through several line-ups before settling with singers Glenys Jenkins and Mary Bishop, alongside young guitar prodigy Ken Price. Their harmonies, combined with Brian\u2019s evocative songwriting and Ken\u2019s dexterous playing, gave the band a distinct voice within the flourishing folk scene. The album blends five striking originals with inspired covers of Tom Paxton, Joni Mitchell, and traditional standards. Highlights include the pastoral title track \u201cAnd Then Perhaps\u201d, the harmony-rich opener \u201cPrisoner\u201d, and the lilting instrumental \u201cA Slice of Peace\u201d. Critics at the time praised its warmth and quality despite its shoestring budget, with the Wolverhampton Express &amp; Star calling it \u201ca good album\u201d that deserved wider attention.<\/p>\n<p>Though the band disbanded in early 1972, their swansong \u2013 a support slot for Fairport Convention \u2013 confirmed their talent.<\/p>\n<p>Tracklist:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ng-star-inserted\">01.
