FERN



An obscure label from Kent.  The only record on Fern that I have been able to track down is the EP shown above, which, according to an auction on ebay, was by a group called Gosfolk and was issued in 1972.  The tracks on it, 'A New Day', 'Wooden Finger', 'Dark Light' and 'Put Your Hand In The Hand', have been described as Christian Pop / Folk.  The EP had no catalogue number, and the titles of the tracks were applied in the form of a sticker, suggesting a self-financed effort.  There may well be other Fern recordings out there, but if there are they have escaped google's net.  Thanks to Stephen Small for bringing the label to my attention, and to Fokeman of the 45cat site for providing the catalogue number, which was YR-114 - that shows that the EP was made through the Yarmouth Recording Studios (q.v.).  Thanks also to Nicholas Hough for supplying the picture - while accurate, it has been assembled from various sources and is not a scan as such, so be advised.
