Fancied hearing "Tumbling Dice" so its

Haven't played this album for a good 30 years and enjoying hearing it again  -  Playing on Vinyl on Polydor Records 1972 - London garage Rock from The Pink fairies.

Haven't come across that Pink Fairies album, Ian.  I only have a couple: Never, Never Land and a (very disappointing) Finland Freakout 1971.  Saw them live once, very many years ago, which prompted me to get Never, Never Land. Don't often see them posted on this thread.

Mike,

It's my only Pink Fairies album and I must admit I don't know much about them.I had a phase when i was 16 of collecting as much Hawkwind on Vinyl as I could and now have about 50 albums of theirs.I think I got the Pink Fairies album as they where always supporting Hawkwind in the 1970's.I never saw Hawkwind live until 1983 so missed all the 1970's gigs.

You are right about rarely seeing a Pink Fairies album in this topic - I would be amazed if Tony 2011 or Kev W don't have them on the shelf.

Cheers Ian

Nice one Ian, that brings back memories.The Pink Fairies were the first live band I saw at a local technical college around '72.Also I have two surviving albums from that Polydor range of cheaper compilations, one from Cream and the other from Taste .

I bet they do. And wouldn't be surprised if ewemon has met the band members. There's some great knowledge and insight contributed through this thread.

Prompted by Tabby Cat and AlanP.  I've now got a bout of nostalgia.

Back in the seventies, I had never heard of this band when a mate said they were playing locally and suggested we see them. We thought about it then another mate said he had heard that the band had been deported from Australia for something or other. That was the clincher and we went. They played this album.   

Dave Matthews Band - Crash (1996). Not a big fan if their newer stuff. This is one of their better efforts imho. Picked this up today for $2, ripped and streaming. Good SQ.

Disc 1 from this fine box set.????

The Rolling Stones - Blue and Lonesome,

CD rip:

Because i'm going to see them this Friday

and I don't know their music very well!

96/24 flac

Now Playing........

Marc Sinan & Oğuz Büyükberber - White

Marc Sinan (guitar) and Oğuz Büyükberber (clarinet).

Streaming on TIDAL.......   A recent release from ECM this past May and I have not given the album a spin yet, so there is no time like the present. 

Tonight :

Christine and the Queens: with the recent upgrades this is like discovering a whole new album within familiar tunes. 

Jaques Loussier: Plays Bach vol.1: bought to provide the soundtrack to my first production| Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and Dead in November" 1989, I have never heard it sound this good! 

Now Playing........

Steve Tibbetts - Life Of

Steve Tibbetts (guitar, piano), Marc Anderson (percussion, handpan) and Michelle Kinney (cello, drones).

Streaming on TIDAL........  This is the second time I have taken Steve's 'Life Of' album out for a spin...... Listening to the opening tracks this may be best played prior to sleep with it's meditative qualities.

Now Playing........

Bonnie Raitt - Silver Lining

Streaming on NAS..........  A fantastic video was posted by EWEMON earlier and prompted me to listen to Bonnie this evening!  Fantastic vocals, guitar and music and certainly has stood the test of time!  Love her......  and love her version of David Gray's 'Silver Lining'

Now Playing.........

B. B. King & Eric Clapton - Riding With The King

Streaming on NAS.........  moving from Bonnie to B. B. & Eric a very easy transition indeed!    .........and keeps the music flowing!

Now Playing........

Eric Clapton - from the cradle

Streaming on NAS..........  Moving from B. B. & Eric to straight up Eric, keeping the blues going with the opening track 'Blues Before Sunrise' and it is sounding mighty fine!

Bowie - Station To Station on original vinyl.

Then, Bowie - Hunky Dory on 1983 reissue vinyl.

Now playing........

Jan Garbarek & Ustad Fateh Ali Khan & Musicians from Pakistan - Ragas and Sagas

Jan Garbarek (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone), Ustad Fateh Ali Khan (voice), Ustad Shaukat Hussain (tabla), Ustad Nazim Ali Khan (sarangi), Deepika Thathaal (voice) and Manu Katché (drums).

Streaming on NAS......... A recent purchase from Fat Cat Records a week or so ago and taking it out for a second spin. Jan's saxophone play is fantastic and blends so well with the voices and percussion. The type of album that I enjoy in the late evening prior to heading off to bed, meditative with a rhythm and beat, a soothing tempo....... 

Vinyl released 2015 - kicking the day off with this fine MM album. Had the pleasure of seeing him perform this live at the Philharmonic  October 2015. Great gig - Great musician. ????
