a few weeks ago a good mate of mine gave me a copy of this album - we used to listen to it alot when we were kids. I have always loved the cover - seems to have all my favourite bands on it. Its got a great WWDOOHs era fairport line up pic on it. Anyway does anyone know when and where it was taken and whos who on it etc... it really is an excellent shot - good album too

I've had the album yonks. Swapped it for some comics. Here's Rainbow Chaser by Nirvana played on a strange video done by an Oz Clarke lookalike. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQqFMygkyF0 |

Olle : I don't suppose you'd have this transferred onto CD would you? I had this double LP sampler back then and I consider it a classic. Unfortunately, the 'first' Mrs Jefferson sold on a car bloody boot sale as an act of divine retribution!
I do have a copy on CD of the other sampler Island Label 'Bumpers' - anyone remember that one?

If I can remember the web-site I'll post the link. I may have even discovered it through this board - anyone know???
It might have been in Marmalade Skies - http://www.marmalade-skies.co.uk/ but i don't have time to check at the moment (if I am to finish work and get to Cropredy tomorrow). |

The Word November 2004 had an article on the "glory days" of the sampler album: You Can All Join In, Nice Enough To Eat and Bumpers were the classics from Island. I still love them. Nice Enough To Eat introduced the world to King Crimson and Nick Drake - need I say more? In the Foreword to his Sandy Denny Songbook, Maartin Allcock mentions You Can All Join In and says how excited he was that he later got to play with musicians who feature in that famous photo.

I think what has always astounded me - well more recently being a designer - is the way the group has been arranged badly. Not because they arn't in group order but Thompson and at least one other has ben cropped off the cover pic!!! and why does matthews looks so grumpy!!! and where is clive bunker? - who is the obligatory black chap?  I think john martyn is the chap with the funny fringe and the side burns behind the chap with glasses and just in front of Barre fascinating

El Pea was excellent.
Also loved Fill Your Head With Rock, Nice Enough To Eat but the one I loved best was Harvest's A Breath Of Fresh Air

El Pea was excellent.
First "rock" record I bought - my copy has little pencil annotations by all the drawings of the groups where I tried to work out which was which. Not sure how many I got right. I also have fond memories of an Island catalogue with an album per page and that also had a "flicker book" function. |

Quite right, Mik.
I had a copy of You Can All Join In. Last saw it in 1883. Used to gaze at that photo for ages wondering who the heck everyone was.
