An incredibly rare second album by Rumplestiltskin, an unusual progressive rock studio project, originally put together by producer Shel Talmy. Their debut album was released in 1971 and featured an all star cast of top session players. Among them were Alan Hawkshaw, Alan Parker, Herbie Flowers, Peter Sterling and legendary drummer Clem Cattini. This 1972 follow up has a strong magical theme and the nine tracks include such potent items as Lord Of The Heaven and The Earth , Can t You Feel It and I Am The Last Man . A tenth bonus item is a version of the old Karl Denver hit Wimoweh . As an example of session men taking their cue from young prog rockers, this album provides an insight into how record industry professionals responded to the challenges of the Seventies. Clem Cattini tells the story of the band in the fascinating CD liner notes.
