'Romano Hip Hop' by Gipsy.cz. It does exactly what it says on the tin! A nice mix of traditional Roma music with some banging hip hip beats! : )
This is the time and this is the time and it is time, time, time, time, time, time, time.....

The New Tweedy Brothers 1968, SF folk/rock/jug band/psych.
The original cover was a hexagonal, 2-D cube (LSD sugar cube!!  ),
foil finished, tri-gatefold....designed by a band member that was so expensive to produce that the band hand-folded, glued & inserted the LPs themselves. Problem--it wouldn't fit in the record bins, so it sat behind the counters and died a slow death.
A great musical experience that is available on CD and vinyl reissues. originals go for $800 (dog eared) to $4000 still sealed!!  No. I don't have an original!
One of the most highly sought after psych LPs.....check it out guys!!
Here's a full review in the SF Weekly....

"Ten man Mop" (with a different cover, has anyone seen the one on
Mooncrest with a live shot on the top 1/2; bottom half in
red,with circles with each
member across the bottom & the tracks in the middle..kind of
ugly, but rarer.
-Fairport
"Rising for the Moon"

First three Stackridge albums, bought at recent gig, to replace ancient cassette copies. A number of real classics on them: Syracuse the Elephant, Dora The Female Explorer, Lummy Days, Fundamentally Yours, Purple Spaceships Over Yatton, Teatime (first song ever played at the Glastonbury Festival) and of course, their traditional show-closer, Slark.
Anyone else out there remember this lot? |

OK, so now I gotta check out Stackridge!! Which do you recommend for starters? The song titles sound a bit folky iconic....what's the scoop, boomer.
Listening to my John Renbourn Sampler LP....very nice..."Lord Franklin" with Jacqui and Bert backing. Sweet. My OTHER favorite UK female singer. Love Jaqui...still going strong.

Love that album. It was my first Buckley album after hearing 'Buzzin' Fly' on a compilation - couldn't choose which studio album to get, so went for my tried and tested maxim, find out if an artist is good live, then they are worth listening to. I know many critics prefer the Live in London single CD, but the combination of instruments on DL really works for me.
As for Stackridge, the best of compilation "Purple Spaceships Over Yatton" is probably as good a place as any. The 2007 live album, 'The Forbidden City' gives you an idea of where they are now and is an excellent introduction - they have too many great songs to be limited to a single disc. As for the studio albums, the George Martin-produced 'The Man In the Bowler Hat' is often lauded as their highest achievement, though I prefer the first two albums, 'Stackridge' and 'Friendliness' - especially the second, which is chock full of wonderful songs, including my favourite Stackridge tune and the best song ever about a pachyderm, 'Syracuse The Elephant'. |

Thanks for the ref.
I guess Happy/Sad is my favorite by Tim, along with Blue Afternoon.
Greetings From LA is often mentioned as a fav too...I'll have to revisit that one.
And about the double CD Dream Letter......Listening right now.....can't think what i would eliminate down to the single disc.
It's great & I'm all for the complete concert, highs and lows....though i can't find the lows!!

Why wait that long? They are playing Bath on 24th July, a week or so after the new album comes out. |
