It was produced by Sandy Roberton and Ashley Hutchings (Shirley Collins' husband at the time). It was recorded at Sound Techniques, and Air Studios in London, in the summer of 1971. No Roses is an album by Shirley Collins and the Albion Country Band. With new album Lodestar, Shirley has created the unlikeliest release of the century so far.

No Roses Shirley Collins & The Albion Country Band Singer/Songwriter 1971 Preview SONG TIME Claudy Banks. Shirley Collins ' collaboration with the Albion Country Band for No Roses is considered a major event in the history of British folk and British folk-rock. Whatever accompaniments I've used, I've always sung in my own style, my natural singing voice, which is an extension of my speech. No Roses was the album they made together, and Shirley still remembers it with pleasure: “It was my first venture into folk/rock and I suppose initially I didn't think my voice was right for it. After the release of No Roses in 1971, there was little question of the band which made it going on tour, although a very few dates were played by a subset of the lineup (Shirley Collins, Ashley Hutchings, Richard Thompson, John Kirkpatrick and Royston Wood) as a last-minute substitute for a short tour by Shirley & Dolly Collins which had been previously booked.
