Sleeve Notes
These two highly regarded albums recorded by the Ian Campbell Folk Group in the mid-sixties contain their innovative arrangements of traditional and contemporary material, including songs by Ewan MacColl, Sydney Carter, Harvey Andrews and Stan Kelly. On Contemporary Campbells, originally released in 1965, the group's sound still featured the fiddle and mandolin playing of Dave Swarbrick. With New Impressions, released in 1966, Ian Campbell decided to bring in flute-player George Watts to replace Swarbrick, helping to create a new direction for the group, then at the peak of their success on the European folk scene. This is the first time these two LPs have been re-issued on CD.
