Used to be used as a test disc - all those tinkling bells and glockenspiels could make for a very impressive demonstration. But listen more closely and one could easily hear distortion and resonances.
Fortunately the CD version has less of the distortions than the LP version.
That said, I do like John Renbourne, especially his collaboration with another Pentangle founder member: Bert Jansch.

Super thanks Barry
I've never used it as a 'test disc' though
Could you recommend a cd with John & Bert?
