Active compensatory factors: I have mentioned this album by Plainsong in passing while writing about Ian Matthews' solo albums. In Search of Amelia Earhart was their only album, as the band split up the same year (a second Plainsong album was recorded but never released, to my knowledge).

It's not really a concept album, as most of the songs are concerned with other matters, but it does tackle a bizarre unproved theory about Amelia crash landing and being captured by Japanese troops.
It is another great album by Ian (he writes most of the songs and, as per usual, sings like a dream). His fellow Plainsong members (including Andy Roberts from The Liverpool Scene) contribute some superior country rock.
Where do they all belong? A weird one - but a fantastic addition to the collection.
