Through this blog I will continue to post different kinds of compilations that carry true original mixes with nice audio, but also warn for a few. Getting some of those rare issues todayĬan cost a fortune, but there are cheaper ways to get the real thing. For some it may also be important to know if the rare record You're bidding on or dreaming of having is a different mix or not, or if it sounds good or bad, before You decide to pay a lot for it. I embrace all contributions like facts, veiwpoints and discussions - all to enhance the knowledge and awareness for this part of music history. Most of the issues are UK, but also ones from other parts of the world I find interesting. I will post items from my own collection, together with details from original covers, and comments with facts and/or personal reflections.

That said I must add I like it - although more insecure and naive than anything he did later it's also more naked and honest.
If this had been a "one off" it would probably have been forgotten by now. From the next LP and on he would eventually turn into a well oiled hit machine selling 250+ million records, but not yet. The trials aren't very obvious, but it's clear he's testing. Sometimes a little jazzy and at parts almost prog or even psych. You get a feeling of trembling and searching for form and solid ground here. From the next album, which also became his big breakthrough, Gus Dudgeon would handle the production while this was produced by his friend and DJM staff member Steve Brown. His debute LP and though it includes some strong melodies and lyrics of the kind that would show up on later million sellers, there are differences.
