All Our Own Work

ALL OUR OWN WORK
 
 
All Our Own Work  is a studio album by Sandy Denny and the Strawbs.  Recorded in 1967, but unreleased until 1973, it contains an early recording of one of Sandy Denny’s best known songs “Who Knows Where the Time Goes”.  Denny later recorded this song as a member of Fairport Convention.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
  

Sandy Denny was invited to join the Strawbs, and they recorded an album together in 1967 that was ultimately released in 1972 as All Our Own Work, under the name Sandy Denny and the Strawbs

 

The album includes an early version of one of Sandy Denny’s best-known songs, “Who Knows Where the Time Goes”; Denny later recorded “Who Knows Where the Time Goes” with Fairport Convention when she became their lead singer in mid-1968.  Judy Collins heard a demo of the song and decided to include it as the title song of one of her best albums, Who Knows Where the Time Goes.  “Who Knows Where the Time Goes” was also released by Collins as the B-side of her #8 hit single, “Both Sides Now (written by Joni Mitchell).  I remember raising eyebrows with a friend ages ago; she seemed surprised that I was familiar with “Who Knows Where the Time Goes, and honestly, at that time I might only have seen the Judy Collins album rather than actually having heard the song.
