  • Description

    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.

    Unique new collection from one of the most distinctive voices in British folk music.

    Highlights, rarities and unreleased tracks from Bridget's Dandelion Records period (1968-1972).

    Never before on CD 1968 demos.

    Also includes BBC session highlights, singles and b-sides.

    Complete with excellent essay by long term Bridget authority and friend Nigel Cross.
