• Top ten ‘strange folk’ classic in Record Collector, 2005
• Mastered at Abbey Road
• Pressed on 180g virgin vinyl

Long established as a cult classic and collector’s grail, Mick Burgoyne and Leigh Dolphin’s sole album is presented here with their full co-operation. Recorded in 1971 when they were just 19
years old and fresh to the studio, Fresh Maggots is one of the best distillations of folk and psychedelia ever recorded. Combining gentle, pastoral songs with violent fuzz guitar, it’s a highly unusual and powerful record that enjoyed extravagant acclaim on release, and has gone on to acquire a major reputation amongst acid folk fans.

“The British folk-rock duo of Mick Burgoyne and Leigh Dolphin were just 19 years of age when their sole, self-titled album came out in 1971. Comprised entirely of original material,
the LP has an admirable array of textures, adding some heavily distorted electric guitar and orchestration around an acoustic guitar base” – Richie Unterberger, allmusic.com

“There are no weak links on this consistent album, which is thoroughly recommended” – The Tapestry Of Delights
