Hi Rob, great one. Through you I discovered Foxygen.. I sampled We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors Of Peace & Magic and it is to my liking. Thank you , all the best to your mom.
Hi Rob - Wow that's quite a span of years on the French psych comp. At least they put the new stuff on the same side, if they'd mixed it all up it wouldn't have worked at all I guess. Nice Jansch find, I have that reissue after having it digitally for years, pretty good. Glad your Mum's on the mend. Have a good week, cheers Dale
Thanks Dale Definitely would recommend the French Psych comp, really nice mix of songs...absolutely putting the contemporary stuff on one side was the way to go. Have a great week too.
Evening Rob. Good to hear your mum is getting better and that you are keeping an eye on her. I’ve seen those Pop Psychedelique comps but have to admit I was put off by the addition of the newer material (much as I like Stereolab etc.) Have never seen before that rather gruesome Volunteers inner gatefold (of peanut butter and jelly?) So pleased summer is here, only two weeks ago I was using a hot water bottle!!
Hi John Yes, I thought the same about the newer material on Pop Psychedelique, but I guess at least they haven't mixed it up and sensibly placed all the modern tracks on side 4. I agree about Volunteers..bit of a waste of a gatefold..just as well its' a fabulous album. Cheers Rob.
Good to eat about your mom Rob. My mother is visiting me, she is 94 but and definitely a little bit slower but she is still enjoying travel. I have the French psych comp, definitely a fun listen, something interesting. Cheap as Chips, lol, I like that
Aww, thanks Steve..bless our mums' they're so precious aren't they..hope she enjoys her visit with you. French Psych comp is definitely a fun listen isn't it. ' Cheap as chips' ( as in fish and chips) is a bit of a misnomer for UK and US meaning, as ' chips' for you are of course crisps..lol!..also, chips are no longer cheap anymore!..
Good looking records Rob. Largely, or entirely, unknown to me, but that’s the fun part. Discovery! Well, apart from the wonderful Jefferson Airplane of course 😊 Cheers from Morten
Hi Rob, glad to hear that your mum's on the mend. I know what it's like trying to restrain an elderly parent from overdoing things - not easy! Nice pick up of the Pink Fairies - I should get around to picking that up - as you said you never see their albums out in the wild. Hope it sounds good. Don't have the Jansch on any format so another one I should get. I did manage to recently pick up quite a few folk albums including an album by his compatriot John Renbourn, along with a Roy Harper, a Michael Chapman, and an ISB. Love Volunteers but hate that inner gatefold! Have a great week... Pete
Thanks Pete My mum is like a supercharged racing car now she's found her feet again!. I know like me you're a big fan of folk..really happy to pick up the Bert Jansch, I have most of his studio albums now. I know what you mean about the inner gatefold of Volunteers, lyrics or credits or indeed a centre spread of the band all smoking dope would definitely have been preferable!. Have a great week. Rob.
Hi Rob, you should be alright on the Pink Faries LP . If you've spun it, then you already know. People on discogs say it sounds good. I have the 50th Anniversary press on Music on Vinyl, which comes with a color bio insert. I'd love to have an OG UK pressing, fantastic packaging with that pressing!
Hi Rob, glad to hear your mum's doing OK now. I'll have to check out Foxygen as I really like The Lemon Twigs. That French comp looks good, I keep meaning to do a deep dive on Stereolab, I'm sure it'll happen one day. I don't feel very motivated with checking out new music at the moment for some reason.
@@jamesgriffithsmusic Thanks James, she's really found her legs and there's no stopping her!..it's great to see her ( almost) back to normal. I think you'd enjoy Foxygen, they really mix up the styles and the vocals are cool. Definitely reccomend Pop Psychedelique, a really fun listen. On a separate note, did you know The The are touring this September?.
I had an OG UK pressing of JA-Volunteers, which had a glossy cover, unlike your copy. In comparison to the US OG, the UK press sounded muddy and muffled. I hope that pressing sounds better than the UK pressing I had. If you can locate a US copy, you will be pleased with it.
Hey Ron My previous copy had a glossy cover, so perhaps that was UK?..the copy I picked up the other day has a Matt cover, so maybe thats' a US press and I'm mistaken..hope so!.
Hi Rob, Great reviews. I love the Pink Fairies album cover. Nice pick ups. Mike
Thanks Mike
Yes, Never Never Land is a great cover, shame it didn't come with a giant wall poster of the same.

Hey Shawn
That's great that you like Foxygen, thanks for watching and commenting.

I do love Volunteers!.., think you'd enjoy the quirkiness of Foxygen.
@@robison5396 I shall endeavour to research them 😊

I thought you was the bloke who was telling us about his marriage problems, but its a guy that looks like you 😂
@@invisibleray6987 If you're referring to Mike from The In Groove that comparison is ridiculous..sorry to dissapoint. 🙄
