Original Album Sleeve Notes

Reflective doesn't always mean quiet.  A much bigger atmosphere is created in this live recording of The Charterhouse Choral Society in their own chapel.  Anthony Phillips and Mike Rutherford wrote this together and both felt that the live recording held a much better atmosphere than the studio recording which was also tried. (The echoes are real).

Availability

The album that included this track has long since been deleted and we believe that the chances of a CD re-issue of the whole album are extremely remote.  Copies do show up for sale from time to time on the collector's market, although this LP is quite elusive.  Ant has the original master tape of Take This Heart in his archive and it is not inconceivable that the track could be re-issued although an agreement on the licensing would have to be made with Virgin Records who now own the rights to the Charisma back catalogue.
