Ashley Hutchings e John Kirkpatrick, The Compleat Dancing Master, LP UK Island Records 1973 - HELP17

We are in the presence of a classic: this "Compleat Dancing Master" is the ambitious project of Hutchings and Kirkpatrick who recorded, with a considerable budget, and arranged a large quantity of traditional songs, then performed with electric sounds by the musicians of the Albion Band. Original and fun are the photographs of the two musicians by Geoff Howard and the cover design by Dennis Evans.
