I am also South African,in 1979 my Afrikaans teacher asked if anybody had M Cs records. Our local library had Lord of the ages.THat makes 44 years of listening to Magna Carta . I have seen them twice in George.
Went to my local folk club at the Hop Poles in Enfield around 1970, and Magna Carta (whom I'd never heard of) was the main act...they played a great set, then announced a break and urged us to stick around and be patient as they were gonna set some machines up and perform their new album, which hadn't come out yet..imagine this whole piece, unbroken and seamless in a tiny room packed with quiet amazed onlookers..girls were openly weeping, honestly..unspeakably beautiful and and unforgettable. Thanks for putting it up here. Cheers.
I was at a concert in Maassluis Netherlands, saw and heard them play and loved it so much, still have many records. At the time, Tommy was still in the band. Later he had his own band NovaCarta! Nowadays I still listen to their music a few times a month, it gives me a nostalgic feeling...
One of my father’s old friends gave me a big box of LP’s when I was a kid. This was among the many gems I discovered. It seemed like something so special and kind of magical to me.
From 18:44 is where we started the procession with the coffin into the crematorium for my Dad’s funeral. He would always play this every Sunday. I now have a first pressing at home (not his one though) which I cherish.
Roel W I am fine. It was almost 9 years ago that he died. Seasons always made me smile. I remember the Sunday mornings he would play it and we’d watch the spiral on the vertigo label go round. He adored the piece, it made total sense to use it. At the service we had no hymns, just music. For the commital piece we chose Incantations part 4 by Mike Oldfield, which he had always wanted to make a video of his train photos to music with the music. We left the chapel to the end of Tubular Bells part 1. We timed it so that as a family we stood and walked out to the sound of the bells. The idea was that we have done our best, and we walk out with heads high, ready to face whatever comes next. A month after my dad died, my youngest brother got married. Knowing we had done our best made it a bit easier to bear. I love this piece, I always have done. I can listen and smile, so many happy memories.
Had the l.p. in the early 70,s.also heard them play it at the Albert hall 72/73 ish.very skilled they sounded.or accomplished as Jane Austen would say. They were accompanied by a small orchestra conducted by John dankworth the jazz player. I always think of them as an English Simon and Garfunkel. Surprised to read Rick wakeman was involved.i really enjoyed his work with the strawbs. At a strawbs concert at the lyceum on the strand ,bout the same I was buying a pint at the bar shortly befor e the start , looking round there he was at the bar sinking a pint, about 6ft 6in,long straight hair to his waste.i think Rick liked his pint in those days.probably got it free too! Good luck.
Gerald Stephen 54 my dad liked them and had the LP. He also loved Rick Wakeman. He had a fairly early pressing, it had the swirl vertigo label. I have a first pressing (not his) that is very closely guarded. I think you are right about the sound like Simon and Garfunkel. It’s folk that borders on prog.
Lovely music from a bygone era. So very sad that music like this is not appreciated anymore. Those were the days of REAL musicians, unlike now when any monkey makes "music" in their computers with no knowledge of music at all.
psyclonoughts I think at the time there was so much of a similar genre that the market was saturated. I only ever heard this album andSongs From Wastes Orchard as my dad had this LP. It has elements of folk, some leanings towards prog, and some elements of funk. I’m not sure what nationality they were, but I don’t think they were all that successful here in the UK. It took my dad a while to source it on CD about 15 years ago.

A teacher at my school in South Africa has us do a play to the music. My mom was so impressed, she went out and found the LP. I have it to this day.
