    Where did you get that date from Peter? It was released June 1973. I had Roger Dean in "my" shop once. He was looking at the pervy stuff on the top shelf and waiting for someone to ask "Aren't you Roger Dean?" :D

    @djh Yes, of course it’s 1973! Funny about Roger Dean.  
  • @djh Yes, of course it’s 1973! Funny about Roger Dean.  

    He was basically hanging around waiting for someone to say "Aren't you Rger Dean?" Not sure why he was in the shop, maybe waiting for a local friend. (This was S,e, London about 15-20 years ago.)
  • "Now That Everything's Been Said" the 1969 album by The City featuring Carole King.

    One of the other band members was Danny Kortchmar who played guitar for The Fugs and for James Taylor on his "Sweet Baby James" album.

    AMG says "While King went on to hit far greater heights commercially, and Tapestry is an unqualified stroke of genius, she rarely made an album as strong from beginning to end as Now That Everything's Been Said."

  • I still have this and remember enjoying it.  I'll need to dig it out!

    That's a new one to me - I'll have to chase it up, thanks peterfredericks
  • Wilson Pickett
       
    In The Midnight Hour                                           The Exciting Wilson Pickett
       
    The Wicked Pickett                                               The Sound Of Wilson Pickett
  • Still one of my favourite songs

    "Love is but a song we sing
    Fear's the way we die
    You can make the mountains ring
    Or make the angels cry
    Though the bird is on the wing
    And you may not know why
    Come on, people now
    Smile on your brother
    Everybody get together
    Try to love one another right now
    Some may come and some may go
    He will surely pass
    When the one that left us here
    Returns for us at last
    We are but a moment's sunlight
    Fading in the grass
    Come on, people now
    Smile on your brother
    Everybody get together
    Try to love one another right now
    Come on, people now
    Smile on your brother
    Everybody get together
    Try to love one another right now
    Come on, people now
    Smile on your brother
    Everybody get together
    Try to love one another right now
    If you hear the song I sing
    You will understand, listen
    You hold the key to love and fear
    All in your trembling hand
    Just one key unlocks them both
    It's there at your command
    Come on, people now
    Smile on your brother
    Everybody get together
    Try to love one another right now
    Come on, people now
    Smile on your brother
    Everybody get together
    Try to love one another right now
    I said come on, people now
    Smile on your brother
    Everybody get together
    Try to love one another right now
    Right now
    Right now"

  • @rostasi what a great selection of top Krautrock!
  • @rostasi Some old faves there and some I didn't know, thanks.
  • Well, Kevin Godley & Lol Creme were the best part of 10cc for me. Great songwriters and most interesting folks.
       
    10cc                                                                     Sheet Music

    Ps I'd also like to thank @rostasi for your mix. If you'd care to share any other of the 6 you mentioned I'd be happy to give a listen. This one certainly had a great flow to it. It was especially nice to have the titles and the song length to figure out who was playing.

    Steamhammer were one of my favourite bands back in the day.

    When "Smiling Phases" was included in that mighty sampler album "Fill Your Head With Rock", I thought that they had it made but it was not to be.

    So today here I am, recovering from Covid (!!) and bucking up my spirits by listening to their two best albums - "MK II" and their first s/t album.

    And a funny anecdote. Two of the band members helped Rod Stewart write Maggie May!

    That's a really weird almost coincidence that a couple of guys from Steamhammer helped Rod Stewart write Maggie May (and You Wear It Well) when earlier in his career Stewart had been a member of Steampacket...

    I remember that track, and that album, well. I thnk I've still got the LP somewhere. Back in the day such samplers were really helpful to hear new music. Nowadays it is so much easier to listen to something new

    I see they have a new album out, 50+ years on.
