Recorded at Sound Techniques in London, it captures the band's transition from acoustic purity to a more electrified, experimental sound. The lineup - Maddy Prior, Tim Hart, Martin Carthy, Peter Knight, and Ashley Hutchings - delivers a rich blend of traditional balladry and bold instrumental interplay. The album's title references a medieval job fair, reflecting the band's playful yet scholarly approach to folklore. It's subtitle honors Reservoir Butler, a little-known folk singer whose name the band felt deserved preservation. This was Hutchings' final album with the group, marking the end of an era and the beginning of a new sonic direction. The production, overseen by Sandy Roberton, balances authenticity with studio sophistication. With textured gatefold packaging and extensive liner notes, the original release was a labor of love-so much so that the band lost money on each copy sold. Ten Man Mop remains a collector's treasure, prized for it's historical depth and musical integrity. Ideal for fans of Fairport Convention and Pentangle, it's a cornerstone of the UK folk revival. A timeless blend of tradition and innovation, this album continues to resonate with discerning listeners.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGower Wassail (TEN MAN MOP OR MR.
