Ringing Down the Years

Ringing Down the Years is the fourteenth studio album by English band Strawbs. The album was released initially only in Canada. Because of the record company's request that a Canadian song be included on the album, the track "Might as Well Be on Mars" written by members of the Pukka Orchestra was included.
The title track was written by leader Dave Cousins about his hearing of the death of former member Sandy Denny.
