"I picked this album off the shelf in a record store in Memphis in 1971 because of it's cover. I took it home and fell in love. I played it for all my friends, and they loved it, too.The acoustic guitar, and Rupert Hine's vocals grabed me, and wouldn't let go. This album should be known world wide as a classic, but because it had no "hit" in the top 40 on radio stations not many people know about it. I tried for years to figure out how to get it released on C.D. I finally gave up. In 2000 I discoved it was available as an import. I had it within a few days. It was like finding an old friend. I made a back up copy in hopes of never being without it again. Someone stole all my C.D.'s including Pick Up A Bone. Now it's out of print, and I'm on the hunt again. Rupert, I sure wish you would return to this formula, and make some more music I can't live without. But thanks for the one."

"I am much in agreement with the other two reviewers. I first obtained a copy of this recording as a promo LP while working as a DJ for a radio station in Tyler Texas back in the early 70s, and fell in love with it on first listen... A great eclectic collection with great orchestrated acoustic tunes and funkier cuts as well... some real creative almost experimental stuff for the time ...and great great lyrics! A friend of mine heard it and then found a copy of the LP in a record store discount bin. It was one of his favorites as well.I have always thought this LP should have received more airplay. I picked up a new copy of the CD here on Amazon back in the 90s and have enjoyed every listen! Get a copy if you can."
