'SPIROGYRA SWAN SONGS'
This album, has every chance to go to the Top Ten Chart of progressive folk albums ever made!!! It represents the legendary band at the peak of their creativity, emotion and down and outness! This album will take you there................
In Record Collector Richard Morton Jack wrote "Heaven's knows what 'Spirogyra' would have gone on to had they continued..." well they did and this is it!!! Definitely some of the best written and performed progressive folk songs of all time, and in our opinion Spirogyra's number one best album!!
ALL FOR ONE - AND NONE FOR ALL! (we are all one)

(Rare Recordings from 69-74) Mostly songs which have not been previously released. These are classic 'Spirogyra Progressive folk songs from the optimistic unrepeatable hey days 69-74. These songs ought to have gotten the full pro studio treatment. Never mind - the recordings are bootleg quality (some live) but the songs and performance are absolute classic! This album is destined for the Top Ten Progresssive folk albums ever!!!
3. Spirogyra Martin Doctored (Martin's edited best of Spirogyra)
This is the definitive 'Spirogyra' album and includes songs from 5 different 'Spirogyra' albums brilliantly put together. It's the ideal album to give someone who never heard Spirogyra before or who wants the best, with no let up in one place! As usual we cram packed it with 80 minutes of music.
