sorry for slow reply,
but there is summer even far north...


I've got this one.
It's on DERAM (SDN 10), recorded may/june 1969, published 1970.

Tracks:
A: Native Sun, True Believer, Hole in My Shadow, Last But One
B: Rough Stuff, Stop or Drop It, Autumn Blewn, Eye for Eye, Atmosphere

Musicians:
Denny Gerrard: acoustic guitar, mouth harp, vocals
Tony Hill: electric guitar
Simon House: organ & violin
Pete Pavli: bass
Roger Hadden: drums
J J Mackey: words, reading on Atmosphere
Lyn Husband & Sue Young: backing vocals


I don't know Denny G, but I'm assuming this is more Denny Gerrard than High
Tide. Quite good though, well done, a bit more produced and this LP should
have been boring.
I prefer the unpolished violin/gtr ecstasy of Death Warmed Up.
