Description
The Incredible String Band was a folk duo from Edinburgh/Glasgow, Scotland who formed in 1966. They built a large following within the British counterculture before splitting up in 1974. Members Mike Heron and Robin Williamson were musical pioneers in psychedelic folk. They integrated a wide variety of traditional music forms and instruments, in the development of world music. The group reformed in 1999 and continued to perform until 2006. Relics is a two disc compilation of their best Elektra recordings and was originally released in 1971.

Is this a compilation Linda?

Yes. Relics Of The Incredible String Band was a 1971 Elektra comp of the group's early material. The configuration that Wounded Bird is reissuing, a double album with the cover art pictured above, was originally a Japanese release. (There was a single disc version released in other countries with different cover art.)

A Very Cellular Song

Some phone company needs to license this track for an ad campaign.

I had this on LP way back when. I think that's the original cover art.
