Even when this is removed from the tube, it remains with me forever - true musicians - creative and complete.
@wren1114
Harmonium would come to mind but for some reason would think of Ian Matthews. Finally stumbled upon it again! Early career music has something special. Thx G&L & who posted it.
@H.P.Blavatsky
Can’t believe I found this record in near mint condition for a dollar at my local record store. What a find!
@gaillonpierre6883
delicate and beautiful folk rock another way to reach the sky
@tonygallagher7222
I grew up with this and it stays with now. Sublime
@solreinecke6084
It is a difficult thing to justify the effect that an occurrence had on your life... I distinctly remember my Da taking the album out of the cover and the lasting effect these songs have had...shaping the way that I listen really..I am so glad that they are still kicking aroun...they are so fkn funky...man...
@goldheartbadge
Thank you for sharing that magnificent album! They have brought tears to my eyes with their recent performances of 'Willie' in concert, Graham singing lead and playing guitar, and Benny singing harmony and playing mandolin with a harmonica on a holder. This album is my '21'!
@HyacinthFl0wer
Beautiful track. I have loved this track since 13 years old (in fact the whole album). There was a chords, music, lyrics play book issued with this album. Thank you so very much for posting this! 🥰
@user-no5nk6pm5r
Just one of the great albums.
Straight back to Paisley Town Hall December 72

My dad showed me Stay Young from Breakway a few years ago, I then found a copy of the album on wax for a fiver. I saw my dad earlier today and he told me about this record, many thanks for sharing!
