I picked up the Strawbs album this weekend in a shop in Knowle!

For RSD day itself I think I picked up: The Orb, Fabio Frizzi (On a very crackly coloured vinyl from Italy!), Art Of Noise, Black Sabbath, Gong, Hawkwind, National Health, Porcupine Tree, and Sisters of Mercy...

I got some on the day, but mostly from online stores afterwards.

I would have got the Blonde on Blonde but couldn't be bothered to get it afterwards. Same for the Goblin.

I skipped the Tangerine Dream because it was only an EP.





It's nice to see some enthusiasm still   out there  for
RSD and the format itself.
I'm already wondering what next year will bring.

Mott the Hoople  :   Live  - 30th Anniversary Edition  (Columbia 2CD,  2004).

Not sure  why, but I left this  sealed for a long time,  having bought it on release.  The album was due at least one more anniversary when I opened it  .

It's  certainly no disappointment.   Post Dudes but still includes some  older songs, and all of the groups lurching madness in concert.

They've got so many of them now. I hope the quality stays decent.

I have to say that the hits of Beardy Festival for me were Ian Prowse & Amsterdam and Nick Parker & The False Alarms.

I'd heard of neither, but they've obviously been going for a long time and are blindingly good.


I thought they were brilliant too, but my absolute favourites were Juniper who were awesome. I think you were working when they were on

The Eighteenth Day of May :  Same   (duochrome green 2LP,  Circuitry,  2026).

It's a bit folk rock by numbers



Fwiw, I think it's a lot better than that... and they gave very good gig indeed.  All gone on to do other interesting things as well and lovely people to boot.

Addendum: I suspect this wasn't quite the criticism that I heard.  It's hard not to criticise somebody else by explaining what I mean....and I can't, but...Magpie Arc, to my ears they're folk-rock by numbers.  Now, I like folk-rock so that's ok...and I like Magpie Arc, but I think The 18th Day do something a little different with the source.  Damned if I can define what it is, though...
 
  It wasn't meant to  sound too dismissive- I try to give  artists their  due.   The guitar jangles in a pleasing way,  though  sometimes I'd like it to jangle  with  a bit more variation,  if you get my meaning.  And the thing of burying the vocal.  I wonder if it's an identifiable trend? 'Hazier'  - deliberately so?   Outside of folk, more or less,  The Sundays did it,  and I absolutely  love them,  have spent  over £100  on their vinyl reissues.
