The songs were all written by Theo. The album was produced by Pat Berning, who provided some beautiful guitar enhancements. Others who joined on the album were Bas Norell (Flute), Sidney Daniels (electric guitar), Mich Robb (violin). We had met Mich in Bulawayo (78), and he jammed with us.

The following recordings were digitized from a 40 year old, well used album (LP) and come complete with scratches! Malcolm did his audio magic to remove most of the scratches and clean up the tracks.
The Lost Tapes
The original Studio tapes have long disappeared, and these versions of the songs are recovered from a 40 year old audio cassette recently discovered With some Audio cleaning by Malcom). The cassette was a recording of the actual studio sessions, before the Album was produced. It also included a song that never made it to the Album. (For more on the album click here)
