 Using the same session musicians but with a new producer, Pontus Olssen, the recordings were issued in September 1977 as "El 'Ahrairah" (after the novel's rabbit god) and "Music Inspired by Watership Down" on Charisma in the UK, and on Sire Records in the US.Another disappointing chart performance led to Hansson's withdrawal from the popular music scene, and though he worked on a number of projects with friends, little was heard from him until 1985 when he released, in Sweden only, the album "Mitt I Livet" (In the Middle of Life) on Silence Records (SRS 4700).He then fell into obscurity.
