Originally released as a private cassette only release in 1974, this is the debut album of progressive folk-rock band Spriguns. Homemade, charming folk-rock with the lovely voice of Mandy Morton, 12-string guitars, dulcimer, mandolin, and fiddle. Fabulous covers of "Let No Man Steal Your Thyme", "Matty Groves" and more. Formed in the early '70s, Spriguns of Tolgus evolved from the folk duo of Mandy & Mike Morton and the scene centered around their Anchor Folk Club in Cambridge. In 1974, the band (Mike and Mandy plus Rick Thomas and Chris Russon) decided to produce a recording to raise funds for new equipment. Using a small tape recorder and mixing desk, Rowdy Dowdy Day was recorded live in the dining room at the band's rented house. A small number of cassettes were produced and subsequently sold at the Anchor Folk Club. With the original cassette impossible to find now, Guerssen is glad to present a new vinyl edition. First ever vinyl release with original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve. Remastered from the original master tapes. Includes insert with liner notes by Mandy Morton and photos.
