 It’s just come up on Ebay. The now rare but, in my opinion, the greatest record Peggy ever recorded. Nothing he did after this can equal the album he did in 1969 with that wonderful lost jewel, Dana Scott. And no track could possibly compare with Peggy’s version of “Lord Of The Dance”. All his greatest hits on one album: Where Have All the Flowers gone? Blowin in the Wind, All My Trials, and the phenomenal Kum Ba Yah. This is Peggy at his very best. The Crown Folk were on course for a superstar career after this. Did you see them on TOTP? Who knows what happened to them? It was tragic, really. Peggy left and his career fell away into obscurity with that other band he joined. Where did it all go wrong? |

PS. As a matter of fact it's the 'ands favourite album. After we've bin on a successful vestin raid from 'andsommers they always call fer it. Dana Scott is their pin-up.... surprizinly Peggy is the pin-up of Lilac Len.... strange that.

I think that Cockers been overcome with his enthusiasm. It wasn't a good idea to 'spread the word' here. He'll have people bidding against him. At least he didn't post a link. £9.99  I got to have me some of that. |

He not only played on it, he made it the great work that it is: ""Folk in Worship", 19-track BBC LP from 1969 performed by Dana Scott and the Crown Folk, featuring an early appearance from Dave Pegg (Fairport Convention) on bass (includes a mini-biography of Pegg on the rear sleeve). Tracks are -
Lord of the Dance, Go Tell it on the Mountain, Wayfarin' Stranger, Kum Ba Yah, Pigs Can See the Wind, When I Needed a Neighbour, Where Have All the Flowers gone? Blowin in the Wind, Rock my Soul, Gospel Ship, Oh Healing River, Folk Nativity, All My Trials, Turn You Round, Kelston Round Hill, The Lord's Prayer, Strangest Dream, There But for Fortune, Amen.

Worrying - I know most of those songs! But not with Peggy on bass, I have to admit. He would probably give them all a certain "kick".  Pigs can see the Wind?? What kind of title for a song is that?!! |

Just think what a signed copy would be worth Just think what Peggy would say, if you asked him to sign it Whatever happened to Dana Scott? |

Cocker, as you already have ten copies of this LP, couldn't you let someone else bid on it?  When I saw Fairport back last year, I had Peggy sign my copy of "The Cocktail Cowboy Goes it Alone." When I handed it to him, he just laughed and asked if I actually had heard the album. If I had, I wouldn't have kept it. I told him I loved the album, and bought it on LP back in the late 80's when I first got into Fairport, and was thrilled when it was finally released on CD. He said that I was one of the first people that said they really liked it. So, he'd probably get a kick out of seeing a copy of that old one if someone asked him to sign it. |

Your wish, Cocker .... http://www.ewtn.com/dana/ So, he'd probably get a kick out of seeing a copy of that old one if someone asked him to sign it. I've got a copy on vinyl. I got it direct when it was first issued - they all came out signed. So possibly an unsigned copy is rarer! (And, sorry, I do think it's .... below par .... as a record) |

Yes! I believe in the 60's/70's there was an advert on the tv "Let's have Dana for dinner"................ |
