    Sorry Martin, didn't see your post there before I wrote my "piece" on that little experience!

    As my post (no. 3981) on 'Spinning Today ....':

    Nico – 'Schwanen Gesang, Lieder vom Einsamen Mädchen 1968 – 1985'

    (cover is similar to the above, but with different tracks)

    Side 1 is mostly live versions from concerts in Tokyo and Warsaw. Side 2 has some unofficial versions of tracks that appeared on ‘The Marble Index’ and ‘Desert Shore’. Plus possibly the creepiest version of the German national anthem I have ever heard.


    Laura Nyro – 'Season of Lights…Laura Nyro in Concert'


    Good recording of Nyro in concert performing her most popular compositions.


    Peter Gabriel – ‘Peter Gabriel’


    Bought for the track ‘Solsbury Hill’. Some of the other tracks are a bit weird.


    Jennifer Warnes –‘Famous Blue Raincoat’


    Warnes sings Cohen, and damned good it is too.


    Joni Mitchell – ‘Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter’


    Joni ‘flirting’ with jazz. Not sure if I like it –too much ‘flanged’ guitar. Double LP.


    The Allman Brothers – ‘Brothers and Sisters’


    Good old 'Californian commune' fodder.


    Spirit – ‘Spirit of ‘76’


    Live double LP


    Love – ‘Da Capo’


    Not as famous as ‘Forever Changes’ but pretty good nonetheless. Excellent drum solo on Side 2 : ‘Revelation’.

    Hi Andre,
    Where've you been?
    I might have a spin of 'Odessey and Oracle' myself tomorrow. Probably the worst spelling in music...........apart from Slade's finest!

    I'm not sure if 7 LPs for £100 is a "bloody good price".

    £14 - £15 is about the most I would be prepared to pay for a used LP in near mint condition. £8 - £10 is a 'bloody good price'.

    I have paid more but the records have been scarce (i.e. long out of print).
