Release
Date: 1983
The
first Wurzels album following their departure from EMI,
Freshly Cut
was released on the bands own Wurzel Records
label. The content is a mix of new material, songs previously
issued as singles in the early 1980s, as a couple new
versions of two favourites from the Adge Cutler days
- All Over Mendip and I Wish
I Was Back On The Farm. It is interesting to
note that the album has four separate producers credited,
which would suggest that this album gathers together
recordings from various sessions. Also, although John
Morgan has joined the band in 1981, there is no mention
of him on the credits (nor indeed of any other drummer).
Band
line-up: Tommy
Banner
(piano, organ, accordion, vocals),
