Different Strokes For Different Folks Vinyl & CDs

Review: The first-ever vinyl reissue of a rare folk treasure from Shelagh McDonald, featuring Richard & Danny Thompson, Keith Christmas, and members of Mighty Baby & Fotheringay in the back. First released in 1971 and produced by the legendary Sandy Roberton, Stargazer has earned a devoted following for its blend of folk, psychedelia, and adventurous production, which spruce up McDonald's exquisite songwriting and puce, haunting vocals. Fans of Pentangle, Incredible String Band, and Joni Mitchell will find much to love, as will admirers of David Crosby's 'If Only I Could Remember My Name' and Gene Clark's 'No Other'. A long-overdue reissue, this one also marks the debut for Different Strokes For Different Folks, a new label dedicated to unearthing rare and cult classics, with more set for 2025.
