Buried for years in an old trunk, these tapes (recorded surprisingly well by Peter Giles) document the embryonic state of KC (still without Lake), creators at this stage of a volatile folk rock/jazz blend reminiscent of Pentangle (and in some tracks, sung by Judy Dyble, former Fairport Convention). Included are two versions of Drop in (the future The Letters), here transformed into corrosive blues rock, two finger-picked I talk to the wind, and the melodic Under the Sky, which later appeared on Sinfield's first LP.
