Go-go dancers a go-go!

Sounds like an early funk standard.

The Meters?

Booker T & the MGs?

Organ.

Apparently...

It is over.

It was OK. It seemed to be very Stevie Winwood/Spencer Davies/Traffic-centric. It's not an album I feel I ever need listen to again.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

It is over.

That was disapointing, I mean compare the tracklisting of the next island sampler:

Fairport Convention Cajun Woman
–Mott The Hoople At The Crossroads
–Spooky Tooth Better By You, Better Than Me
–Jethro Tull We Used To Know
–Free Woman
–Heavy Jelly I Keep Singing That Same Old Song
–Blodwyn Pig Sing Me A Song That I Know
–Traffic Forty Thousand Headmen
–Nick Drake Time Has Told Me
–King Crimson 21st Century Schizoid Man
–Quintessence Gungamai
–Dr. Strangely Strange Strangely Strange But Oddly Normal

Although the Fairport convention song was better on this one. hmm

I shall give it 3 stars.

In 1970, I'd be rushing out to get King Crimson, Dr. Strangely Strange, Spooky Tooth and possibly Nick Drake, for this one, I think I'd only fancy checking out Jethro Tull and possibly Martin

I actually enjoyed that, despite the fact it was largely uninteresting and uninspired and generally dull.

It was like a box of chocolates where the menu was missing and all the hard and soft centres had melted together on account of some silly nit putting them on top of the radiator.

Drie sterne.

Is that Rebop Kwaku Bah as the token gentleman of colour on the cover?

by Nightjar Thu Oct 15, 2020 7:51 pm

I didn't know that RKB died in 1983.

He was only 38. bawl
