the french release of this superb lp was widely-distributed in the uk-of-gb(? &-ni?), probably because of sales far exceeding the uk record company's (or uk label manager's?) expectations.
interest in - and sales of - alan stivell's first uk lp, ''renaissance of the celtic harp'', which had been respectable (if unexciting) were also rekindled, and some french copies of this, too, were imported & distributed by philips uk; and sales of both wooden celtic harps and even the crwth (sp?) in the yuk-of-gb-&-ni - and possibly also in the republic - shot up; the acoustically-amplified celtic harp sales in london, york & newcastle-upon-tyne° went up ten-fold - though yr hmbl srppnt.'s no idea how many were still being learned and played six months later...
° - i don't know about other cities & large towns; these were three of the four cities whose music shops yr hmbl srppnt. visited at this time; in t'other, durham, the two main record shops were not general music shops selling musical instruments
