The Wards of Court were a harmony quintet from Essex, who might have been fair rivals to the likes of the Equals under other circumstances as a British soul outfit.

It’s nice second-tier British folk-rock, and though the adjective “haunting” is overused in description of this genre in general, songwriters Peter Howell and John Fernando really had that aspect down, with a greater pop savvy than most people working in the U.K. folk-rock field. Woman singer Lee Menelaus rounded out the trio, which smoothly integrated...
