Sandy Denny And The Strawbs was the subsequent name given to an early version of English folk-rock band Strawbs that featured English folk singer and songwriter Sandy Denny (subsequently in Fairport Convention and Fotheringay.
In their early days, Strawbs worked with Denny and, while in Copenhagen, Denmark, in July 1967, they recorded 13 songs, some of which were for a proposed first album, "All Our Own Work". The album was not issued at the time and the fledgling band could not get a UK record deal. Denny left to join Fairport Convention and the proposed album was forgotten until it was issued on Pickwick Hallmark in the UK in 1973. The album contained an early recording of one of Denny's best-known songs, "Who Knows Where the Time Goes", later recorded by Fairport Convention.
A second album, "Sandy Denny and the Strawbs" was released on Pickwick Hallmark later in 1973. This was a reworking of tapes recorded by the band in Copenhagen.
The 2010 reissue of "All Our Own Work" on CD features all the recordings on both 1973 releases, plus two previously unreleased demos.
