    Woefully missing from the NWW list! Along with Henry Cow's "Legend", Caravan's "Land of Grey and Pink.", and Soft Machine's "2", this is a solid cornerstone of the early 70's Canterbury sound.

      My copy came with a photo of the band; Stewart, Miller, Sinclair and Pyle (from left to right) + white dog on front. Text below the image: ”HATFIELD AND THE NORTH Virgin Records”

      Anyone else have the same or was the pic maybe slipped in afterwards and not included originally?

        My CD copy is autographed by a certain singing bass player.. Great record, very interesting. A classic of the Canterbury England prog scene.
