... that the title of the album Hearken to the Witches Rune has been both dismissed as pretentious and described as a key to its appeal? Source: "There are many good things here, of which the title, the most pretentious I have seen for a long time, is not one." (Roy Palmer, English Dance & Song 1971, p. 118) "'... Hearken to the witches' rune...' The fact that it's not actually sung on the album, but only printed on the back cover and used in the title indicates its significance for the couple and its perceived appropriatedness for a folk album. Indeed, the text printed on the cover serves to transform the record into a sacred artifact, the implication being that the album's true significance lies beyond mere entertainment." (Christopher Partridge, The Lyre of Orpheus 2014, pp. 147-148)
ALT1: ... that no one seems to remember what year the album Hearken to the Witches Rune was released? Source: "Even the album’s release, on Leader’s own Trailer Records, is shrouded in some degree of mystery. ... Neither Dave nor Toni are entirely sure, and neither is Bill – now aged 91 and living in quiet retirement in Manchester." (Bob Fischer, Fortean Times 2021)

Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Both hooks look reasonably interesting and I think either would be perfectly fine. I think my preference if I had to chose would be ALT1 (the source being online helps as well) but perfectly happy to go with either! Turnagra (talk) 09:50, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
