Sweet Primroses – Shirley Collins

Description

With a career of over 40 years, Shirley Collins reached new heights of public awareness and acclamation with the release of the comprehensive and highly acclaimed 4 CD boxed set on Fledg’ling Records. Now thought of as a national “cultural treasure”, and rightly celebrated in the mainstream as well as the specialist music press, her profile has never been higher. This album is a landmark recording of the English folk song revival. Featuring sister Dolly Collins imaginative portative pipe organ arrangements and an essential repertoire of traditional English folk song, this classic 1967 album really put Shirley Collins on the map. This CD re-issue features 4 additional tracks originally released in 1963 as a Topic EP, ‘Heroes In Love’.
