Yes Mark,

They are quite obscure. But not that obscure that they should not be listened to. Enjoy.

I saw this band in London in the seventies. great to see they made more than one album. Get the first one if you can - a great cover of Ohio - their "high tides and green grass". blu

PS just posted 'The Outlaws' which has the 20minute "high tides and green grass" on it. Enjoy

Yo muzik guy,

It's my pleasure. You deserve it J. I have been so busy satisfying other readers that I was forgetting my manners :]

I also have a new copy of Tractor which I will reup soon as the one i am currently offering is a bit iffy in places. And also a copy of AFT which is joined. I also have half a dozen of your wishlist that I know you will want. (no names as that will alert other bloggers ;)

So I take my hat off to you J. Richter for introducing me to new rare music & I will do my best to forfill some of your needs.

Take care & thank you for your comments

Well,that album cover bought back memories- saw 'em at Cleo's in Derby that year,methinks. Someone borrowed my album back then and I never saw it again. I still have my vinyl single demo (blank labels) with concert ticket for 'Hot on the trail' featuring ' A band called O','Sassafrass' and 'Randy Pie' at the Caley picture house in Lothian road,Edinburgh, 23rd Nov 1975. £1.20 to go in the stalls....seen how much a gig at the O2 is?

Mister Viv,

Thanks for your visit and remarks on this excellent rock band. One of my favorite albums in the last wee while. It totally rox.

By the way hang on to that demo. 1.20 for a concert waoow. That is the average price for the booking fee alone these days. hehe

Thanks for your visterMister Viv and indulge yourself in some of my rare sounds.

Great to find some Sassafras! Saw them in '76 and mostly remember the tambourine antics of the singer! Any chance of "Expecting Company", their best in my opinion.
Great work. You have a new regular on board.

Steve,

Thanks for your visit & comments. I am not worthy lol.

I agree with you & happen to have "Expecting Company". Was saving the best for last and it also appears on robotsforronnie wishlist. I will get round to it before someone else. Honest.

I respect your patience
