Avocet Revisited (Various Artists)

Twelve inch vinyl pressing. Avocet Revisited is a four track EP, commissioned by Earth recordings as a companion piece to Bert Jansch's 1979 avian-themed masterstroke Avocet. Again drawing inspiration from the resplendence of birds native to British waters (Bert himself was a keen ornithologist), Earth invited this quartet of artists to each choose a species that particularly speaks to them, and base a track around it. The results have been universally graceful, evocative, and majestic - much like the creatures themselves.
