RIP Ann Odell. It seems she has passed, possibly in 2021 judging by a comment on this Youtube entry. (If you expand the comments it is quite possible Bryan Ferry - with whom Ann had some input on some of his albums - commented
Ann was the keyboard player in Blue Mink for a time.
An album I stumbled upon only very recently. Really like it. Very English early 70s SSW, with a lot of the usual suspects of the time in the credits.
I have uploaded a scan of a Bio sheet that is included in a my Promo copy.
Interesting that it refers to the "recent" Back To The Bars live double album, which according to release dates here was released some 7 months after Hermit
Discogs does refer to a reissue of Hermit but my copy appears to be an original.
John Anderson (of Soul Bowl fame) cited this as one of his favourite LPs in an interview he did with Richard Searling in 2014 (good interview which I now can't find on youtube).
