A double CD of archive recordings of Barbara OBE performing at folk clubs One of the charms is that it doesn’t have the benefit of hindsight meaning some of the recordings are scratchy and very real. The other is Barbara herself, an enduringly lovely part of folk and pop-lore.

What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?
