Were they still going then Nom? I just supposed that they were a late 60's afterthought of a band. It would be very interesting seeing them live actually, and how they produced those weird sounds they came out with.

Yes they. must have been but it was not part of a tour so why they chose his area to gig in i have no idea. I found out after the event They had reformed in the mid 1990`s but one of them died in 2005.

Re: Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums

Last one today. Who mentioned The Cars earlier?...
No.940: "Heartbeat City" by The Cars (1984)


very English-sounding new-wave pop band's mid-80's smash. This features the quite wonderful track "Drive", which of course had a whole new meaning on its reissue a year later (Live Aid), pure pop single "Magic", the drivetime title track and this, quite possibly one of the best early MTV videos ever, "You Might Think":



Aw go on then, as a bonus.....

No.939: "Ghost Stories" by Coldplay (2014)


Coldplay's second album already in my list, 'Ghost Stories' is more of the same dreamy, mellow music they have made their trademark. Lead single 'Magic' has a splendid video:

No.938: "Winter In America" by Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson (1974)


A funky jazz-tinged early hiphop record about working life in the USA in the early 1970's. Poet Gil Scott-Heron with keyboardist Brian Jackson's finest moment was the very hard hitting protest song - 'The Bottle':

No.937: "Get A Life" by Stiff Little Fingers (1994)


Nobody does anarco-politico-punk like Stiff Little Fingers. Okay, The Clash come close but they were middle class boys - Stiff Little Fingers lived it with their Northern Irish upbringing and you know you believe every word Jake Burns ever wrote. This later album is more of that same oppression and anger.

No.936: "Live In The Heart Of The City" by Whitesnake (1980)


One of the best live albums ever, 'Live In The heart..." contains some barnstorming tracks from David Coverdale's great hard rock band, including this terrific early single:

No.935: "Folkjokeopus" by Roy Harper (1969)


One of Britain's best singer-songwriters, Harper has quietly been around forever it seems. As a treat, jere's one of his best-known tracks, McGoohan's Blues, all 18 minutes of it for you:

Good shout on that one mate. Coverdale has such a tremendous voice.
