Tangerine Dream by Kaleidoscope. First time I ever heard Dive into Yesterday I thought I'd died and went to heaven. Or at least the psychedelic equivalent 😀

Black Sabbath first album! I swear I?ve had never listened to it before, even if I knew most of the songs on it anyway :)

A vinyl rip of Frank Zappa's 1969 LP, released here in UK 1970 - Hot Rats.
It was just like I'd never stopped listening to it since the last time I heard it, back in the 70's.

Flamin' Groovies-Groovies Greatest Grooves. 2lp compilation.

Small faces-Ogdens Nut Gone Flake a classic plus Quadrophrenia just before

She Came From HUngary! 1960s Beat Girls from the Eastern Bloc (Ace CD) - Just finished playing it for the first time. Great groovy ye-ye from behind the iron curtain.

Bobby Gentry - The Girl From Chicasaw County (8 x CD set complete Capital Recordings). Three discs in so far and loving ever note.

PM:blush:

Yes, it was a nice piece in Shindig, great cover too. There is also a long interview with Andrew Batt who produced the new Bobbie Gentry box set here:

I found it very useful and interesting. You only have to listen to Gentry's close mic technique on some of her songs to hear the Francoise Hardy influence. I agree 'If You Listen' is a beautiful album.

PM:slightly_smiling_face:

Well I love Françoise! If You Listen was a great surprise, most of her late 60s early 70s are really good, but I think her best lp by far is La Question... another class!

Listening to a lot of poppy/light stuff at the moment-

World of Oz- World of Oz (Deram)

Geraldine - Geraldine (Beltona)

A portrait of Danny Doyle (Tribune)

Before that I listened to Jerusalem's 1972 LP- this must be comedown :smile:

Kaleidoscope.A very underrated band. I love them.

Listening to genesis wind and wuthering as I type. A great album.

Haven't played any Fairport Convention for a while so opted for their debut. Very very good. Love the Trader Horne album too. Good old Judy Dyble 😀

First two pearls album are very good.

After playing the Airplanes debut,one more album for the night. Gandalfs one and only disc. Love it.

Right now, with a nice cold beer while waiting for supper and the end of the weekend (and in anticipation of Come Join My Orchestra) it's Tea & Symphony: The English Baroque Sound 1967-1974.

Rubbing it in? Maybe just a little I guess...

Bob Dylan-Nashville Skyline my favourite Dylan album always has been and always will be!

Highway 61 Phil. That’s the best.😀👍

ELO-Discovery great album I remember when I bought the vinyl when it was released lots of them jumped it was really hard to find a decent copy

Highway 61 is my fav Dylan album. Then Blonde on Blonde. Listening to Younger than Yesterday by the Byrds.

Thanks to the latest Shindig, giving Donovan's Fairytale a whirl. Haven't played this for a year or two. Great stuff.

Just listened to the uk band, Dry Ice cd recorded in 1969 and just seeing its first ever release.I really enjoyed the majority of it,absolutely love the track"Clear White Light"this song is bloody fantastic,with blistering guitar,"she gave"is also a pretty impressive number along with the single"Running to the Convent"."Fake It"is damn good too.Could do without their version of Dylans"Its all over now baby blue",but to my ears thats really the only low point,a very enjoyable listen and a worthwhile addition to the late 60s rock canon.A well priced cd released by the rebooted morgan blue town label.With liners telling the story of the band.

Otis Blue. Unbelievably soulful.

SF Sorrow. No explanation needed.

Will say though that I was fortunate enough to catch them on their farewell tour last Sunday. Phil May has had enough of touring but they will still play the occasional festival. Their last date before they say goodbye is on 13/12 in London. If you are able to get there do it, you won't regret it.
The band are incredibly tight, Phil's voice is still hanging in there and Dick Taylor, wow. I was blown away by what a great guitarist he is. For some reason I'd never appreciated his guitar work as much as I should have, but seeing him live really made me realise how good he is.

Bill Fay - Time Of The Last Persecution. Seems particularly relevant in our current apocalyptic times.

Small Faces 66 debut. Come on Children is a raw Faces track as you can get. Powerful.

Listening to "Mad Shadows"album by Mott The Hoople.This album released in 1970i find pretty enjoyable,not a classic by any means but i enjoy it!!I much prefer the early Mott The Hoople rather than the all the young dudes era.Their first 4 albums i find very enjoyable,A real mix of sounds!!

Toads Of The Short Forest-Mindmower. Swedish band, best current psych sonds I've heard in a long time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o0P_x1f6As&list=PLi4UkEKk4uj-w46t6tAXCFW0cXoN-ANEC

Fresh Cream by Cream. Haven't played this in absolute ages.

Lotsa Beatles albums especially the early ones and now gone on to Donovan who I havent listened to for ages his early tracks are like a breath of fresh air

Been meaning to post this for awhile. "Try A Little Sunshine-The British Psychedelic Sound of 1969"
If ever there was a misnomer of a title it's this one. Sure, it has a few well known tracks by Factory, Jason Crest, Onyx, Shy Limbs and Fleur De Lys. But I found it overloaded with harmony pop, folk, very average run of the mill fluff and a lot of stuff more suited to a Fading Yellow comp. Definitely not psychedelic.
Disappointing when you realise that 1969 was that psych crossing over to prog time that could have seen bands like East Of Eden, Blonde On Blonde, Mighty Baby, Gun and Griffin among plenty of others that would have more in common with the title than what made the final cut.

The Knack(and how to get it) soundtrack. Great stuff and a wonderful film. Listening now to 24-7 Psychedelic Rock station. Doctor Robert just finished and now Blossom Toes' Remarkable Saga of the Frozen Dog.

Recently watched Robin & Marianne. Also a Richard Lester film.

...............

PHLUPH-SAME (US, '67?) poppsychy with cheesy, dated organ - almost circusy-sound. On Verve label.

Listening to the Esher demos from the White album.
