John Kirkpatrick, Blue Balloon, LP UK Squeeze Records 1987 - SQZ 124

This is one of the artist's most vibrant albums, and also the least traditional: it couldn't be otherwise with a group that includes Richard Thompson and Gerry Conway. The cover features an illustration by William Dudley and, on the back, a photograph by Bob Naylor. The drawings are by Tony Engle. Also noteworthy are the presence of Christine Collister and Clive Gregson, as well as fellow adventurers in Brass Monkey Howard Evans and Roger Williams.
