Robin & Barry Dransfield, Lord of All I Behold, LP UK Trailer Records 1971 - LER2026

A beautiful and successful album that marks a particularly difficult moment in Barry Dransfield's career: the duo had an important manager, Jo Lustig, who had managed to get an important contract with the American Warner during a tour in the States with Ralph McTell. But Barry didn't need money, he loved the life he had and also playing in front of a small audience. It was then that the contract was torn up and the careers of Robin and Barry separated. The dark and alienating cover photograph is by Janet Kerr. Bill Leader as producer recorded the album at Nick Kinsey's Livingston Studios.

Disco bellissimo e di successo che segna un momento particolarmente difficile per la carriera di Barry Dransfield: il duo aveva un manager importante, Jo Lustig, che era riuscito a ottenere un contratto importante con la Warner americana in occasione di un tour negli states con Ralph McTell. Ma Barry non aveva bisogno di soldi, amava la vita che aveva così come suonare in presenza di un pubblico ristretto. Fu allora che il contratto fu stracciato e le carriere di Robin e Barry si separarono. La fotografia di copertina, cupa e straniante, è di Janet Kerr. Bill Leader come produttore registra l'album presso i Livingston Studios di Nick Kinsey.
