1969's Unhalfbricking is a stranger album than I had remembered it. Fairly rigid rock drumming turns up at times, and then at others it's replaced by banging on chairs. There's an eleven minute song (an ambitious arrangement of the traditional "A Sailor's Life"), and also singing in French (on a Bob Dylan cover). It also memorably includes classics from Richard Thompson ("Genesis Hall") and Sandy Denny ("Who Knows Where the Time Goes"). The recording is simple and timeless, but the weird picture of elephants on the cover of my US pressing makes little sense.
