I went to that one. The crowd were rowdy and the Pumpkins didn’t like it

Yes and the shirt and I’m pretty sure Matlocks slingbacks

Some of it is Westwood

Bought OTD in 1972: very listenable soundtrack to an unmemorable film. Includes Indian drones, louche jazz and - my favourite track - Party Seacombe, a wonderful drifting summer of 67 instrumental that’s the brother to the Beatles’ Flying

With Peter Doig playing 45s at Sound Service, The Serpentine this week. Had a great time!

👊👊👊

RIP Kenny Morris: original punk, Banshee drummer extraordinaire. I knew him well in the Banshees and was in touch with him recently about his memoir. Which I hope will be published. God bless you Kenny

Bought OTD in 1969: one of the first albums I ever bought. The whole thing is pretty great but I keep on coming back to the spooky ones: The End, End of the Night, The Crystal Ship

Thanks!

That looks great - thanks!

Good point. I think it’s half sincere half tongue in cheek - Ray having his cake and eating it. I do find the title track slightly irritating

Bought OTD in 1972: under a quid, the early seventies were a great time to find sixties lps cheap. Not my favourite Kinks album - that’s Face to Face - as the harking back is a bit cloying, but some terrific songs: Walter, Johnny Thunder, Big Sky, Starstruck, plus the rock out Wicked Annabella

Bought OTD in 1970: my favourite Who album by miles. Fast funny sharp and on occasion, very psychedelic. Big hitters about (Armenia, Mary Anne, Odorono, Miles) but special appreciation for Our Love Was (those guitar parts) and Relax, proper vortex psych

The Equals are fantastic

YouTube video by Marc Al The Droids - The Force

This is fantastic: the Droids, French Synth group, playing their classic Do You Have The Force on RAI TV in 1978. We included this track on the Caroline True Do You Have The Force comp www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiYf...

Thanks!!

Happy New Year !

Tony Wilson told me they played for six or seven minutes with feed back etc and it was then edited

Used to read the music press then

Bought OTD in 1969; the second Pye album, still folky but edging towards inventive backings and droning psychedelia - Sunny Goodge Street, Jersey Thursday. Special mention for Sunny Day Reflection Song - with lyrics about the media’s spell and Shaun Phillips’ transcendent 12 string
