On a recent trip down to Newlyn, I spent much of my time
rifling through my parents’ book & magazine collection (which they are
currently whittling down). I was pretty delighted to come across a copy of local
newspaper The Cornishman from July 1971 in their shed, and was even more pleased
to find an article about Brenda Wootton’s “Pasties And Cream” LP (SENS 1006). The Cornishman, of course, is depicted on the cover of the album, together with the Cornish delicacies after which the album is named. One day I’ll get round to writing about this most renowned of Sentinel LPs myself, but for now I’ve reproduced the article here, together with some other relevant bits & pieces from the same edition, including an advert for a quite amazing week of shows at Penzance’s The Garden. See Queen (lest we forget, "Roger Taylor's group, formerly Smile") for 25p! Beggars belief, really...
