Even a forgotten gem

"On the Shore" was the second and last album of the short-lived band Trees in the late 60s / early 70s - related to Fairport Convention in the spirit - played first-class British folk-rock.
As with Fairport Trees had an excellent singer who had a more pleasant, but maybe more ordinary voice as Sandy Denny, but also the men sing from time to time. The songs may unfold in Trees (a song is even 10 minutes), the traditional folk is not so strong at Trees in the foreground as Fairport Convention, but rather the rocking element. Perhaps we should compare Trees rather Fotheringay. On the instruments
are all excellent, only the guitarist sometimes loses the thread (there is a pretty lousy solo on the electric guitar). Of the songs, some original compositions, some cover versions, only "Little Sadie" falls a bit out, a kind of country-folk.
The LP cover incidentally comes from Hipgnosis.
The Audiophile Vinyl re-issue comes in a 180gr Squeeze and has a great sound.
Music on Vinyl (Sony) actually has almost always sound good plates, remains unclear, however, whether this is not about digital sources they use. In the Sunbeam-edition 2009 (double LP with remixes) the source is allegedly definitely the analog master tape.
