All Our Own Work
''All Our Own Work'' is an album by Sandy Denny and the Strawbs, recorded in 1967 but not released until 1973. The album was recorded in Copenhagen, Denmark, and 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. The album was released by Pickwick Records, who in the 1970s specialised in budget releases of deleted record company catalogues. Production Dave Cousins, the leader of the Strawbs, saw Sandy Denny singing in a nightclub, and invited her to join his band. A demo recording the band made with Denny was passed by a British born Danish DJ, Tom Browne, to Karl Knudsen, the head of Sonet Records in Denmark, who offered them a record deal, and brought them over to Copenhagen. They recorded the album in a cinema in 1967, with Gustav Winckler as producer. Cousins wrote the bulk of the songs, though Denny contributed "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?". Shortl ...

Who Knows Where The Time Goes?
"Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" is a song written by the English folk-rock singer and songwriter Sandy Denny. Denny originally recorded the song as a demo in 1967, singing and playing guitar on the track. Later that year, she briefly joined the folk band The Strawbs, and re-recorded the song, again with only her voice and guitar, for what became the album '' All Our Own Work'', which was not released until 1973. The American folk singer Judy Collins heard a tape of the original demo recording in 1968 and decided to cover the song. She released her recording first as the B-side of her version of "Both Sides, Now", and then as the title track of her album ''Who Knows Where the Time Goes'', both released in 1968. Hers was the first widely available recording of the song. In 1968, Denny joined the folk-rock band Fairport Convention. She recorded the song on her second album with the band, the 1969 album ''Unhalfbricking''. This version had more of a rock influence. "Who Knows Where ...
