Wow, that's a hefty price on Discogs. I paid £2 for mine, yesterday. I had no idea that some cassettes might still be collectable, Ever since I moved house, a few months ago, I've been planning to take a boxful down to a local charity shop but perhaps I need to have a look through and check whether any of them are worth a few quid!



Drop me a line...I'm a collector.  I'll (almost certainly) promise not to lie... Wink


Will do. Though I should imagine most of them won't be of any interest, there might be a few that might be up your street. I'll send you the list tomorrow.

If eBay got rid of all the patently false 'autographed items' on its platform there would be virtually nothing left.  I regularly see signed items I know absolutely to be fakes selling for hundred of pounds.  And the more they emphasise the 'Certificate of Authenticity' (oh, how we laugh) the more likely the item is to be a deception.  You'd be amazed how many sharpies there were around in the mid 1970s....

Ha!  Nice.

Having seen Blue Tapestry twice (including their storming set at Cropredy 2003 which Procol Harum had a job following), I'd loved to have seen them again - the loss of Maart & Pete Zorn alas makes this impossible...

A true bargain! Smiley

To be honest, I find myself enjoying the live performances on this CD more than the original recordings! Smiley

I have to confess I’d never heard of them (or I had but hadn’t bothered to investigate….) so I looked for them on YouTube - fantastic! And I’ve bought the album on iTunes  Cheesy

Thank you

They really were one of the most perfect Cropredy bands ever...sun setting at the end of an incredibly hot day...a band of supreme musicians playing music the Cropredy demographic would be familiar with (Joni & Carole), playing it with real skill and affection. No wonder Procol Harum had a hell of a job following them...

One moment I remember was Julie putting out a call from the stage for a certain bass player, as Pete Zorn wanted to play sax on "Raised On Robbery", and Peggy was still at the bar. It was quite funny to see the short delay as a refreshed, been in the sun all day ruddy-faced Peggy ran from the bar as fast as he could, strapped on Pete's bass and played a great version of said Joni song...

Sorry, had missed that.  I think the Brum 80th bash was the first time he'd entered my consciousness.  He was certainly a great drummer that night.
