Over time I've really come to love this album for the most part. I think it gets off to a bit of a not very promising start and maybe that had put me off a bit in the past but there are some spellbinding songs on here..The Matchseller is beautiful wispy stuff, the w...

Starry Eyed And Laughing

I've been reading about SE&L in the latest Shindig. Been sampling tunes from their two LPs and unissued pre-album recordings on Youtube etc. Beautiful Byrds like songs but from the early-mid 1970s. How could they ever have been bracketed as 'pub rock'!? Judging from...
