 Bob Lind was a star of the mid 60's US folk rock boom hitting the top 5 in America with his own song 'Elusive Butterfly'. This song was then covered by many other artists around the world, as were later songs by the likes of the Turtles, Noel Harrison, Nancy Sinatra and Bobby Sherman, including 'Counting' (Marianne Faithfull) and 'Mr. Zero' (Yardbirds' lead singer Keith Relf).In 1970 Lind recorded 'Since There Were Circles' , released on Capitol Records in the US in 1971, with sadly limited availability elsewhere. It is another excellent collection of sensitive folk rock songs and pretty melodies, boasting special backing from guests Rod Dillard, Doug Dillard and Gene Clark. A rare and sought after album (around $200 on recent search) this the first time the album has been reissued, and is enhanced by the inclusion of four bonus tracks being supplied directly by Bob. (Trivia note these tracks are being mixed, and the album re-mastered by Lind's present near neighbour in Florida, Aerovon Tom Hartman.). Today Bob is a writer with 5 novels to his name, but his music has not been forgotten and Richard Hawley, the High Llamas, Pulp number amongst his contemporary fans (Pulp even recorded a song called 'Bob Lind'). I Love To Sing/ Sweet Harriet / City Scenes / Love Came Riding / Loser / Not That I Would Want Her Back / Theme From The Music Box / Anymore / Spilling Over / She Can Get Along / Up In The Morning Me / Since There Were Circles.
BONUS TRACKS: I Found You / Marlene / San Francisco Woman / Colorado Line / We Are Children Still
