this version is the best, sandy gives me, how you call it in english? goosebumps...? by the way, the strawbs were great muscisians.., what a timing...

This might be the best version ever. Sandy sounds like she's about to explode.The phrasing is intense with desperation.I love Fairport, however if this was her only recording (ever) she would Qualify for Immortality.

Sounds a bit empty with the post-recording string section missing...

Having lost two friends of some 30 years this past year, this song is particularly poignant for me.

My dad (Ron Chesterman) loved this track. Hearing Sandy's haunting vocals, takes me back to my childhood!!

Richard Thompson advised her to change 'purple' to 'evening', but years later admitted that psychedelic purple was probably OK after all! Of it's 'Time' perhaps.
