Very rare UK style folk rock, and another privately pressed folk rariety from the mid seventies.( now fetching Ј400.00 on the collectors market) With fine guitar and mandolin work from Steve Morrison this is classic UK '70's hippy folk with a traditional edge. Also includes extra unreleased material from an informal rehearsal in 1969 by the band. Freak EmporiumThe track " Queen of Hearts " I believe is incredibly beautiful, essential. For the rest it's a nice folk album.
Bruton Town Newsletter comments on this item :
"It is a beautiful record, released on MIDAS label in 1972. In my research I've found only one of the personnel names, the female voice, Barbara Seabourne. The record title is "The Wind That Shakes The Barley" (Kissing Spell KSCD9503-f) and some of you could instantly remember the Dead Can Dance late version of this beautiful traditional here included. On the KS version there is also a 20 minute bonus track that was recorded in 1969 (so the record notes).
Seems that this MIDAS label pressed also a record from a band named "Folkal Point" and two solo records from a certain Janet Jones.The Gallery sound is not "acid" folk, but more traditional stuff, well clever done."
"The Gallery album is superb IMO. The label was set up by Alan Green who was also behind the Folk Heritage / Westwood labels. Gallery is phenomenally rare as an original LP (About £1000). Equally as rare is Folkal Point (Even the band only have one copy between them!!) Janet Jones did 2 for the label and both are more common, but excellent" Ian from Ammonite Records
"Actually the members of the band were
Royce Seabourne- Vocals
Barbara Seabourne- Vocals/Dulcimer
Mark Uttley- Violins
Steve Morrison- Guitar
Alan Morrison, Steve Morrison's brother played on many of their records/ performances when Steve was not available- including 'The Wind That Shakes the Barley'." (according to Ché Royce Seabourne) http://psychedelicfolk.homestead.com/

thanks. love these folk-rock-pysche offerings, esp. by groups new to me ... much appreciated and all the best to you.
What is the correct password?
I must be doing something wrong ...
thks

Thank-you, but I seem to be having some trouble extracting. The password is "http://ezhevika.blogspot.com/"?
MAC users problems were widely discussed in comments - hopefully this will help:
It seems like the trouble is that the files dont work with the "Stuff it expander" applikation on mac os x.
Instead use the applikation UnRarX (download at http://unrarx.sourceforge.net/ ) and it will work.
(dont forget to first write the password before you drag n´drop the file in UnRarX window.
Yes, the problem is not copying the passwords correctly (which everyone seems to be doing) but rather the various unstuffing programs incompatibility with the encrypted files - especially mac osx's apps and older versions of stuffit.
Sorry, guys, this problem was requested, discussed & solved several times here! I simply can't understand why using standard WinRar programm causes so many problems. Hopefully this will solve the problem again.
About the password problem: most people copy and paste, but sometimes a blank is at the beginning of the end is taken within. That just one character too much.
So first check that possibility.
Thanks for sharing this folk-rock album of which I never heard. The description made me very curious, so I'm surely gonna try!
