The Henry Cow Legend (often referred to as Legend or Leg End ) is the debut album of British avant-rock group Henry Cow. It was recorded at Virgin Records's Manor studios over three weeks in May and June 1973, mixed in July 1973, and released in August 1973. The album cover art work was by artist Ray Smith and was the first of three "paint socks" to adorn Henry Cow's albums. In 1991 East Side Digital issued a remixed version (by Tim Hodgkinson, May/August 1990) of Legend on CD. It included a bonus track, "Bellycan", which was an outtake from Henry Cow's Greasy Truckers Live at Dingwalls Dance Hall recording session in November 1973. On the remix of "Amygdala", Lindsay Cooper, who was not yet a member of the group at the time of the LP recording, played bassoon (recorded August 1990) and replaced Geoff Leigh's saxophone, which Hodgkinson felt was "too jazzy". In 1998 Recommended Records and East Side Digital reissued Legend on CD with the original mixing restored and the bonus track omitted. The original master tape having been lost, this CD edition was transferred from a mint condition Japanese vinyl copy.
