Train Song / Love Song
Her second single, credited to Vashti, issued by Columbia as DB 7917.
Vashti Bunyan, 1966
"Train Song" (2:15) backed with "Love Song" was issued by Columbia in the UK in 1966 as DB 7917, in May according to Wikipedia and June according to a retailer; the exact day is not known. Wikipedia says Peter Snell produced it, which Songfacts repeats and MusicBrainz does not credit. Songfacts says the arrangement had cello, double bass and two guitars, while another account says only voice, guitar and cello. Both of her singles received little attention at the time. The recording is on the 2007 compilation Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind: Singles and Demos 1964 to 1967 (FatCat, October 19, 2007), which runs 61:01 and was reviewed with 3.5 stars on AllMusic and 6.5 on Pitchfork.
