And Then Perhaps is a highly sought-after, privately pressed British folk album by the band Marie Celeste, originally released in 1971. It has since become a collector's treasure, known for its rarity and its blend of original songs and covers.
Recorded live in a single session and pressed in only 200 copies for friends and family in the Midlands folk clubs where they were based, the album has gained legendary status in the British psych-folk underground. The music is characterized by the haunting twin female vocals of Glenys Jenkins and Mary Bishop, intricate guitar work by young prodigy Ken Price, and evocative songwriting by Brian Lindop.
The album mixes five original compositions with inspired covers of artists like Tom Paxton, Joni Mitchell, and The Rolling Stones. Reissues, such as those by labels like Sommor Records and Guerssen Records, have been digitally remastered and often include liner notes and photos, making this "message in a bottle" from the 1970s folk scene accessible to a wider audience.
