Carthy made this album in the year he left Steeleye Span.

In contrast to the richly resonating sound on that album, here everything is stripped down without any reverb.

Steeleye Span made some attempt to convey regional accent.

The cover of the reissue on Topic Records had "Land" followed by "Martin Carthy" on the next line, followed by "Fall" on the next line, almost implying that "Land Fall" is two words.

Martin Carthy played on Goulder's album Requiem For Steam in 1971.
