The distinction was that while The Shadows were famous for their instrumental work, Marvin Welch & Farrar were a vocal harmony group.
The group comprised Hank Marvin (born October 28, 1941), on vocals and lead guitar, Bruce Welch (born 2nd November 1941) on vocals and rhythm guitar, and John Farrar (born 8th November 1946) on vocals and guitar (both lead and rhythm).
Almost all the tracks recorded by the group were written by its members, with occasional contributions from co-writers.
The group recorded two albums, Marvin Welch & Farrar, and Second Opinion, before Bruce Welch left, leaving Hank Marvin and John Farrar to record a third album Marvin & Farrar on their own. The group did not enjoy conspicuous chart success and were further troubled by Hank Marvin's distinctive appearance, which, in live performances, led to audiences requesting Shadows numbers

I am fairly sure this album is from 1971? I used to have it on vinyl.

Sounds like influenced by Jethro Tull.

Yeah, very much a Stand Up / Benefit era Tull feel, less the flute.

This song has too many musical ideas and styles stitched together that leaves the listener unmoved and unimpressed. 👎

The staff engineers at EMI were asked to vote on which album had the best engineering over the past decade and this LP was voted best. I think that was in 1980.
