Editorial Reviews

Long established as a cult classic and collector's grail, Mick Burgoyne and Leigh Dolphin's sole album is presented here with their full co-operation. Originally recorded in 1971 when they were just nineteen and fresh to the studio, Fresh Maggots is one of the best distillations of folk and psychedelia ever recorded. Varying in tone form heavy rock 'Frustration', to protest 'Everyone's Gone To War', social commentary 'Dole Song' and pastoral 'Rosemary Hill', it's a highly unusual and powerful record that enjoyed extravagant acclaim on release but sold poorly and has never been officially issued since. Comes complete with a fully annotated and illustrated 8 page booklet. Sunbeam Records. 2005.

5.0 out of 5 stars Melancholic yet uplifting, August 29, 2005

This review is from: Fresh Maggots (Audio CD)

The genius of this albumn lies in its simple, rustic melodies. Each tune exists as a microcosm of all the songs which nest a detached melancholy, capable of creating subtle emotional responses in any listener and accessible to anyone. It would be a grave injustice to begin to describe the uplifting effect that "Rosemary Hill" can elicit or the innocent intent of the beautifully pastoral "And When She Laughs": prepare yourself for an intense journey into an ethereal realm commoditized only once...you'll find it here.
