This album certainly has a troubled history, and you can tell by listening to it. The talent on display is not in question, but the music suffers from the circumstances. That said, the acoustic tracks shine nonetheless. They were recorded on a separate day, presumingly while Allan was still in good faith towards the producer. Allan was not satisfied with these either, which is not so hard to understand all things considered, but all the takes of "Kinder", "Floppy Hat" and "Last May" rise above their shady origins. | This album certainly has a troubled history, and you can tell by listening to it.
