Ever since the SMiLE vinyl came out, I've been amazed by the various bonus instrumental tracks that have been included in some of the 45's, ESQ freebies etc.
I was wondering if the whole of 'Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE' album might come out in instrumental form someday as a 'bonus disc' (perhaps) or internet download??
I was in my bedsit with 'Farewell My Friend' playing, eating baked beans on toast ( .. a delicacy for me at the time); when the news came on about Dennis.
'In Search of the Lost Chord" is one of the best albums of the psych era bar none -- certainly one of the top ten most listenable and accessible! A solid, solid album.
.. and the first album I ever bought! That album got me hooked on music totally .. 'Legend Of A Mind' .. 'House Of 4 Doors' .. 'The Best Way To Travel' ..
It certainly opened my 14 year old mind at the time
With a nod to Luther's 'Best' topic, list the very WORST gig you've ever been to .. and why.
I'm still thinking of the best one I've been to ( .. very, very hard to do), but my own worst one was the reformed Spear Of Destiny gig after the line-up that produced 'One Eyed Jacks' had disbanded.
Lacklustre performance from a band that hadn't the chemistry to "get it right" in any way, shape or form. A pityfull night for all SOD fans .. Wolverhampton Civic Hall .. sometime in the late '80's.
