The Guv'nor vol 3
The Guv'nor vol 3 is a compilation of recordings by Ashley Hutchings. These recordings come from studio demos, live performances and some studio finished product. Almost all had never been released before and the quality is variable. They date from the period 1968 to 1994. Track 8, "By The Time It Gets Dark" is a Sandy Denny composition that she never herself recorded professionally. This version with Julie Covington on lead vocals, was one of the first Denny songs to be recorded after her death. The 1612 collection of tunes "Terpsichore" by Michael Praetorius is rarely given an outing in folk circles, but here we have 4 of the tunes. It is probably the only folk-rock treatment that they have been given. The raucous version of "Harvest Home/ The Gas almost Works" comes from the Battle of the Field sessions, and you have to wonder why this was not included on the original album. The first two tracks were written by Joni Mitchell. Released on CD in 1995. Running time 63 minutes 52 seconds.
