I've seen two reprints of First Utterance the last five years, but it can be hard to come by indeed. Have you tried looking on Discogs?

I actually found my First Utterance reprint at my local record store for $20 in the unsorted bin. That is certainly an unexpected thing to see while flipping through random records!  But yeah, discogs is probably your best bet

Yep...I have always felt the same way....unique and original but annoying at times.

I've also been lucky to find a high quality reprint :). I do think Comus and Spyrogira are more songbased acts, whilst Jan Dukes has longer compositions and multi-instrumental musicanship as a main feature.

Comus, First Utterance.
|
|
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

These are two of my very favourite albums in Prog Folk, but I'm especially drip dripping with love for the Comus. It's a bloody masterpiece.

Wowh thanks! I already own Pearls Before Swine and Linda Perhacs, will look for the others (if they can be found on vinyl).
BTW, have you ever heard the 'Arthur - Dreams and Images' album? One of my favorite gems.

I haven't heard this particular Spirogyra yet, so no vote until then But I'm pretty sure I know how it will turn out  |

First Utterance is incredible! I'm not familiar with that Spirojyra yet so no vote.
