A hidden gem of the early '70s British folk-rock scene, Is a Friend? blends rich vocal harmonies, melodic songwriting, and subtle progressive touches into an album that has become a favourite among collectors and fans of the era.

Originally released in 1972, Is a Friend? captures The Parlour Band at their creative peak, combining pastoral folk influences with confident rock arrangements and finely crafted original material. The band's thoughtful songwriting, intricate vocal interplay, and understated musicianship give the album a distinctive character that has earned it growing recognition as one of the overlooked treasures of its era.

This all-analogue pressing presents the album with exceptional warmth, depth, and clarity, faithfully preserving therichness and dynamics of the original recording.
