With the departure of John Gladwin in 1973, Eddie Baird and Terry Wincott decided to continue The Amazing Blondel due to continued demand for their music and loyalty of the fans. Eddie took up most of the writing of the material and whilst it was still of an acoustic folk-base it now had a slightly more commercial bent with an eye to the charts. Inspiration came out in 1975 on vynal but this is THE FIRST EVER RELEASE ON CD. The album achieved critical acclaim and the band continued recording and playing for a further two albums after Inspiration. Certain tracks from the album became standards for live performance like "The Lovers" and "On a night like this". Amazing Blondel due to continual touring in the seventies became established in the British live scene with a large fan base and became one of the underground cult bands.Their zany and unique sound appealed across the folk scene and since this album has never been released on CD it will be sought out by all Amazing Blondel and folk fans alike. Eddie and Terry are planning to do some gigs later in the year along with a new studio album to re-launch The Amazing Blondel back on an unsuspecting World !!
