THE
CHARTISTS ALBUM REVIEWS "The album is a great
success for the band — their feeling and fervour
for the subject matter translates well onto
vinyl." South Wales Argus. "... the record proves the quality of the songs. The Chartists have quite a
visual power on stage and this can disguise
the strength of the music . . . its a
pleasure to hear that the tunes and the words are quite capable of standing up
for themselves." Taplas. "... The band reveal as their specialty a certain relish for inventive song
introductions played on guitar, whistle and mandolin and there are some haunting
moments on synthesizer and acoustic guitars ... If you like fine music and want some ideas as how you can start enjoying folk again — go and see the
Chartist's show and buy their L.P." Tykes News. "... If the success of a 'concept album' is measured by whether individual
songs are strong enough to stand up in isolation then items like "The
Charter," "The March - Part 2" and "Fare Thee Well to
Newport" make 'The Chartists' add up to
a winner." The Southern Rag. "... The album as a concept is excellent, well written and performed in the 'electric folk' idiom. Full marks to
all concerned for a very listenable album
which is well worth buying." Kasebock. "... The songs are both beautiful and
moving and the performance is of a very high standard with some
interesting arrangements using both accoustic
and electric instruments." Shirefolk. "... This record is quite amazing."
Music World "All in all... the individual members of the group are to be congratulated on producing such an ambitious
and interesting record." Swagbag.
