Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the debut album from the '60s British Folk duo. Though Toni Arthur is probably most widely remembered these days as the vivacious presenter of 1970s children's UK TV shows Playschool and Playaway, she and her husband Dave first came to prominence during the 1960s British Folk Revival. Released by the Transatlantic label in 1967, Dave and Toni Arthur's debut LP, Morning Stands on Tiptoe, remains a cornerstone album of the genre, a work of astonishing power and vitality that introduced a whole raft of traditional songs to the thriving British Folk club scene. Also included on this release are both sides of their little-known 1965 Pop/Folk single ('The Cuckoo' b/w 'A Rich And Rambling Boy'), which they recorded as the Strollers. Cherry Tree.
