Sleeve Notes
This record is just what the title suggests. It contains five samples of the Campbells taken from their three L.P.'s and one of their singles on the Transatlantic label. Bob Dylan's The Times They Are A Changin' became a big hit for the Group and served to bridge the gap between their more tradition-oriented folk followers and their many pop fans. Cushy Butterfield, The Keel Row and the Instrumental Medley however, show the Campbell Group handling traditional material in their own unique way, the first of these tunes featuring lan, the second Lorna and the instrumental medley giving Dave Swarbrick, John Dunkerley and Brian Clark a splendid showcase for their talents. The Apprentice's Song demonstrates not only Brian's excellence as a solo singer but also lan's talent as a writer of contemporary material.
