Haunting and majestic, sonorous and plaintive, this bumper set bundles together Anthony Phillips and Harry Williamson’s 1995 album Gypsy Suite along with demos for their earlier collaboration Tarka.
Phillips and Williamson – whose father, Henry Williamson, wrote the children’s book Tarka The Otter – first started sketching ideas for these songs in the summer of 1971, but it wouldn’t be until four years later that they’d knuckle down and start creating the music that would eventually become Gypsy Suite.
