Have very fine collection of Sir Richard Bishops... in person must tell U the tale of when I tried to find his gig in Utrecht... didn't... nearest I got was passing Richard on escalator at AMS central station: he went down (with cased guitar) as I went up... no music, but still a memory of note ;-)

Tudor Lodge – Tudor Lodge (Vertigo, Japan 2007) - Originally issued on Vertigo (UK, 1971) – Posted the wrong text for this last night… Another well known LP… again a lush listen for a Sunday evening…. Nice exact repo from Japan a few years ago… way cheaper than OG…

Quite funny you should mention Albion Band... I was sure I had at least one LP, but not so... I've been sorting stuff for boxes... and nothing has turned up so far... I think I need to fix that issue ;-)

Moonkyte – Count Me Out (Metronome, Germany 1971) - Originally issued on Mother (UK, 1971). Bradfords finest…acid folk gem… quite rich both musical & lyrically speaking… Where Will the Grass Grow..? Recommended…

Comus – First Utterance (Dawn, Japan 1975) - Originally issued on Dawn (UK, 1971). Wekk known… from a folk perspective possibly doesn’t get much darker or infectious from a groove perspective as this gem… recommended…
