Friends

Friends was the fifth album by the psych folk joint venture H&F Recordings. Also known by the title "Fragile", the album was released in 1974 as a private press with a more than precarious cover. Reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel and Buffalo Springfield vocal harmonies the record was - in Howell and Ferdinando words - a pure joy of creation. Finally we have the chance to unleash this psych pop folk masterpiece with a proper artwork and in a remastered version. Peter Howell, known for his work in Doctor Who themed series and as a part of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and John Ferdinando were also behind the intriguing musical projects known as Ithaca and Agincourt. Liner notes by Peter Howell.
