Dear Margo (and others)

Thanks for the comprehensive responses. The album cover is definitely
the Jay Consort one. I have no idea where I got the mysterious French
couple from; perhaps they'll float up out of my memory at some point
and distinguish themselves. It won't be the first time this has
happened - I spent 20 years trying to find a suite by Bartók that
turned out to be by Stravinsky.

As for the LP that's on Amazon, I suspect that it's the same album
with a different cover on it, since the Blogonomicon entry that shows
the original LP cover quotes liner notes that match the Amazon
description:

"The Jaye Consort play medieval music on reconstructed medieval
instruments. The result is a heterophony, not unlike an Arabian night-
club band, but nothing has been added to the music apart from drones,
divisions, and a variety of percussion."

So everybody is right :).

Now to see if I can't find that LP somewhere... I'm in England, so
that's a head start!
