Reissue, originally released in 1971. Getting their start in the mid-1960s as a covers band, the Surrey-based group that began as The Late and who would be forced to take the name Unicorn mid-way through the recording of this excellent debut LP soon understood that originals made better sense, pointed in that direction by the success of Crosby, Stills and Nash. Given greater depth by Gerry Rafferty's producer, Hugh Murphy, Uphill All The Way makes for superb listening, the musical craftsmanship yielding intricate textures beneath Ken Baker's dreamy lyrics, the intelligent folk rock complete with country and western underpinnings. A must for UK folk rock fans. Licensed by BMG.

Reissue, originally released in 1974. Beginning in the mid-1960s as a covers band, the group that came to be Unicorn soon determined that original material was the way to go, and after being inspired by a Crosby, Stills and Nash album, their particular brand of enlightened folk rock tinged with country shades yielded a contract with Transatlantic for their 1971 debut. Fast forward to 1974 and Blue Pine Trees finds the band at their finest with sweeping harmonies and bluegrass tinges, and with Pink Floyd's David Gilmour in the producer's chair, all of their glorious potential is realized on this lost gem of an album that is fully ripe for rediscovery. A truly great work. Includes two bonus tracks. Licensed from Cherry Red.
