@viennesewaltz.bsky.social - well spotted on the sleeve/text mix-up... was doing there things at one... eating, LPs and preparing for a training course to the Pacific Rim that started at midnight... time difference ;-)
Tudor Lodge – Tudor Lodge (Vertigo, Japan 2007) - Originally issued on Vertigo (UK, 1971) – Posted the wrong text for this last night… Another well known LP… again a lush listen for a Sunday evening…. Nice exact repo from Japan a few years ago… way cheaper than OG…
In Full: youtu.be/AXjp7B4INcc?...
Dave Cousins – Two Weeks Last Summer (A&M, UK 1972) – Last one… as I need to go to work at midnight… beautifully crafted & lyrically brilliant solo LP… Blue Angel… top week ahead one all 😉
In Full: open.spotify.com/album/4VkI4z...
Fresh Maggots – S/T (Amber Soundroom, Germany 2005) - Originally issued on RCA Victor (UK, 1971) – Continuing the gentle folk theme… with a few jaunty upbeat elements & fuzz along the way…
In Full: youtu.be/6q_6sLscUu0?...
Heron – S/T (Dawn, UK 1970) - After the Kingfisher… nice to follow the bird theme with a Heron… quite well know LP… ideal laid back listen for a Sunday evening…
In Full: youtu.be/WrgJdbghwCw?...
Gygafo – Legend of the Kingfisher (Holyground, UK 1990) – On from Bradford we arrive at Wakefield… recorded in 1973, but not released until much later… bit of forgotten gem… top arrangements & musically quite diverse… Waiting For The Rain…

Quite funny you should mention Albion Band... I was sure I had at least one LP, but not so... I've been sorting stuff for boxes... and nothing has turned up so far... I think I need to fix that issue ;-)
Moonkyte – Count Me Out (Metronome, Germany 1971) - Originally issued on Mother (UK, 1971). Bradfords finest…acid folk gem… quite rich both musical & lyrically speaking… Where Will the Grass Grow..? Recommended…
In Full: youtu.be/5tOLEx1R9sE?...
Comus – First Utterance (Dawn, Japan 1975) - Originally issued on Dawn (UK, 1971). Wekk known… from a folk perspective possibly doesn’t get much darker or infectious from a groove perspective as this gem… recommended…
In Full: youtu.be/VCDeZEp74sU?...
Simon Finn – Pass the Distance (Mayfair Music, UK 2008) – Originally issued on Mushroom (UK, 1971) – Classic (shouty) loner folk… lyrically brilliant with a distinctly dark stoner flair… did see Simon do most of these live at Café OTO many years ago…

i can never get enough theda
Barry Dransfield – S/T (Guerssen, Spain 2007) – Originally issued on Polydor (UK, 1972). Change of folk frame of mind… stripped back… trad air… lyrically quite personnel, but with sly dark side in places… recommended…
In Full: www.dailymotion.com/video/x9odf5m
Fairport Convention – Unhalfbricking (Island, Netherlands 1974) - Originally issued on Island (UK, 1969). Measured pace… slow diverse burn… Sandy Denny on vocals… lush end-to-end listen… gets a bit lively at close 😉

Pentangle – Cruel Sister (Transatlantic, Japan 1980) – Originally issued on Transatlantic (UK 1970). Super cheap high-grade press with nice insert… could all be about side long version of Jack Orion on the flip side… recommended…
In Full: youtu.be/isi_K1j0uBk?...
The Pentangle – Basket of Light (Transatlantic, UK 1969) – Next up… I think we all know this one… much like Bert… an essential LP… near perfect listen… both lyrically and musically…
In Full: youtu.be/l2cBT8--7tA?...
Top fact... I can't remember if you were there, but mention of Richard Thompson... last seen locally at WUK back in 2011... what at night that was...
Bert Jansch – Jack Orion (Transatlantic, UK 1966) – Few words on this one… essential LP… never tire of listening to this gem… short & sweet… just over the 30min mark…
In Full: youtu.be/uElI_9WRG0E?...
Anne Briggs – S/T (Topic, UK 1971) – Folk is a four-letter word special… quite night in… kicking off with one for International Women’s Day… a truly international woman if ever there was one… doesn’t get much better…

I'm eating a salad with beans,sesame seeds, and wakame, miso soup with shiitake and taro, brown rice, and drinking bancha while listening to Meitei’s Kwaidan and thinking about today’s schedule. I’m reminded of how deeply food and music can influence each other. The music is echoing through my body.
John Fahey :: The Record Plant, Sausalito, CA – September 1973
aquariumdrunkard.com/2014/02/28/j...
There’s no shortage of Fahey live material in the hands of collectors, but this 1973 KSAN broadcast is up there with the very best ...
At times... to see what the youth be a saying... and some of the old crew... with their insight... that said... most of the best chaps have gone elsewhere... like here... yourself included ;-)
Various – Music for a Revolution Vol.02: Guinea's Syliphone Recording Label - 1968-1980 (Radio Martiko, Belgium 2026) – Also in post… totally recommended listen… I think for the rest of the evening we be going into the Afro 45 boxes… raw funk with an Afro/Cuban/Latin flair B the order of the day😉
Various – Music for a Revolution Vol 1: Guinea's Syliphone Recording Label - 1967-1973 (Radio Martiko, Belgium 2025) - Postal drop: heavy duty funk flavored Afro action (top press). Was always enlightened 2 sit @ stall behind these guys 4 many years in #Utrecht… paid dividends musically speaking 😉
