Active compensatory factors: I have very fond and vivid memories of Tole Puddle performing a lunchtime concert at Mt. Albert Grammar School around this time - 1976 was my last year at MAGS. I wonder why that is - this wasn't what I was listening to in 1976. I mean, at all. But I sat on the grass in front of the sports pavilion as they did their lively set.

The band on this album (recorded in Aussie) was set up like a NZ version of Steeleye Span, with Diane Halsey and the boys (Dave and Graham Marett, Greg Bartlett) giving the band that lovely male/female vocal harmony. Diane's husband (or brother?) John was also a Tole Puddler on guitar and harmonica.
The music is flavoursome folk rock with the key strengths being the band connectedness and those vocal harmonies.
Where do they all belong? Their only album and something of a collector's item these days.
