Incredible string band info needed

ROTF should be along anytime now!
I only have Layers of Onion & The Hangmans Daughter on Vinyl!
Some Info

As Blueknowz said - he has the best two.
Definitely go for the vinyl.

If you want to try a later ISB elpee then Earthspan is very good.

Also Mike Heron's Similin' Men with Bad Reputations is a great album.

Thank for the info

Hi just one more quick question if i go for vinyl is it best to go for the early stuff or I have noticed it is on 180g sundazed records

Cheers Steve

Hi There, The ISB albums are all being newly released on CD. Apparently Joe Boyd has been involved with the project and provided the original tapes for these releases. I haven't heard these but they should sound better than any previous cd release. I have 5000 spirits & Hangmans on vinyl and they are both great. Wee Tam & The Big Huge is also very good.

Sundazed are very good pressings.

Mine are on Electra; I bought them when they first came out. I also have the later CDs, not the new Joe Boyd ones, and the original vinyl is considerably better.

However both the Sundazed and JB CDs sound interesting.

I think you'll love 5000 Spirits; it is totally unique and landmark album in popular music. Macca cites ISB as a firm influence on the Beatles.

I have just obtained "the big huge" on early vinyl it is rather good

Thanks for all your info

Robin Williamsin is touring at the moment with John Renborn - caught them last night at the Art Centre in Norwich - beautiful gig......
Worth seeing if they are in your area.

Thanks for the info there playing

Hope theatre Liverpool

Just got my ticket

Just got a copy of the Joe Boyd remasterd 5000 Spirits and it is very good, much better than other ISB CDs I've heard and definitely a viable alternative to the vinyl.

I have now a copy on sundazed vinyl that is also rather good

I recently bought the Wee Tam/Big Huge double CD (rightly, as it was originally a double-LP), and it's a great package with excellent sound.

Saw Mr Williams last night

He was rather good

Purchased a couple of cds "Just like the River"

and "The merry bands farewell concert at mcCabes"

Strangely it was originally released as both a double elpee and 2 single elpees - in the US it was not available as a double - I'll get my anorak.

Please don't forget Clive Palmer - his wonderful elpee Moyshe McStiff and the Tartan Lancers of the Sacred Heart is well worth checking out - please click here.

Glad you enjoyed it - Robin is a unique and fine songwriter - as the Mad Hatter said.

Please stop. This way lies bankruptcy. I was happy before, honest guv.
