Tundra, The Kentish Songster

(LP) Greenwich Village GVR 208 (1980)

 

In questo caso l'album nasce dalla collaborazione dei Tundra con la Oyster Ceilidh Band di Prosser, Telfer e John Jones. I produttori sono in questo caso gli stessi Doug e Sue Hudson mentre Joe Stead svolge il ruolo di ingegnere del suono. La registrazione è effettuata ai Mid Wales Studios nell'Aprile del 1980. Bello il disegno di copertina di Mike Walsh.
