The Watersons‘ ageless Frost And Fire: A Calendar Of Ritual And Magical Songs is being re-released by Topic Records on October 28.
It’s coming as a remastered vinyl pressing cut at 45rpm, while the sleeve is a replica of the original (with minor adaptations for 2022), including the original sleevenotes by folklorist, A.L. Lloyd.
Originally released in 1965, Frost And Fire has become one of English folk music’s essential recordings. Meanwhile, the Watersons – Norma, Mike and Lal Waterson and their cousin, John Harrison – assumed the status of folk royalty.
Frost And Fire is available to pre-order here.
