RELEASED 28.2.2013
DEBUT UK REMASTERED EDITION OF THE CLASSIC 1977 ALBUM BY THE LEGENDARY PROGRESSIVE FOLK ROCK GROUP SPRIGUNS Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the first ever official UK release of the album on CD "Time Will Pass” by the legendary Progressive Folk Rock group SPRIGUNS. Formed in 1972, the band was originally known as Spriguns of Tolgus and were formed by Mike and Mandy Morton. The band’s debut album was produced by Tim Hart of Steeleye Span and brought them to the attention of Decca Records for whom the album "Revel Weird and Wild” was recorded in 1976. By this time the band were known as Spriguns and had become more rock influenced. The album "Time Will Pass” followed in 1977 and was perhaps the band’s finest hour, featuring a line-up of Mandy Morton (Vocals, Acoustic Guitar), Wayne Morrison (Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitars, Mandolin, Vocals), Dick Powell (Electric Guitar, Keyboards, Vocals), Mike Morton (bass, vocals) and Dennis Dunstan (Drums). The sessions also featured orchestral arrangements by Robert Kirby, famed for his work with Nick Drake. Rare and highly sought after by collectors, this Esoteric Recordings reissue of "Time Will Pass” has been newly remastered from the original Decca master tapes and includes a booklet that fully restores all original album artwork.
