“Bridget St. John was one of the first acts to be signed to John Peel’s Dandelion Record label, in 1969. Bridget went on to record 3 albums for Dandelion
This unique collection from one of the most distinctive voices in British folk music contains highlights, rarities and unreleased tracks from Bridget's Dandelion Records period (1968-1972), the period of work which is considered her best.
Disc Two includes a total of 17 unreleased tracks as well as interview excerpts.
Bridget St John remains a cornerstone of the British folk movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s, and still performs to adoring audiences today. This set expands on the usual 'best of' to include a cornucopia of extra material which goes beneath the surface to explore further the dawning of this wonderful talent.”
