A true rainy-day affair, What A Beautiful Place is the Brit folk autobiography of Howe, aged 20, one that appeared only fleetingly in 1971.Twelve songs unfold like a classic bildungsroman, beginning in the smoke-stained industrial county of Yorkshire, transformed by the electrified creative landscape of mid-century London, and retiring to the warm pastoral bliss of the county of Dorset on England’s southern coast. Produced by noted jazz pianist Bobby Scott, the LP—oft-mistaken for a concept album—was available for just a summer month of '71, and vanished utterly after Reflection Records’ shuttering later that year.
