  • Description

    This long-forgotten recording from 45 years ago finally allows a wider audience to capture the experience of hearing the Young Tradition at the majestic height of their powers.

    The live reputation of the mighty Young Tradition lives long in the memories of all who heard them during their brief career. Live recordings were thought not to exist until, 45 years later, an American fan remembered the reel-to-reel recording he'd made at Oberlin College on 17th November 1968. Carefully restored, these tapes are now released by Fledg'ling Records on CD and DL.

    The Young Tradition formed on 18 April 1965 by Peter Bellamy, Royston Wood and Heather Wood - with a repertoire from the British folk tradition, style from Carnaby Street and lashings of attitude they soon firmly established themselves on the folk scene. Recording for Transatlantic records and international tours soon followed. Record companies will always make extravagant claims for their releases, but Oberlin 1968 really is a rare and truly wonderful historical release.
