Album Notes & Community Reviews

Lindisfarne's debut introduced the Newcastle group's blend of regional character, close vocal harmonies, and acoustic-electric rock writing. 'Nicely Out of Tune' established the foundation for their early-1970s popularity and connected the Charisma roster to a more folk-rooted audience than its progressive rock acts.
