I've been collecting records for as long as I can remember, and sometimes it's easy to skip over things, and forget what you've got. I'm going to start listening to things in alphabetical order, it give me a chance to look through my collection again, and give me an opportunity to share things with other music lovers, and vinyl collectors.
The rules are simple, I will start at A, and choose an artist from my collection beginning with that letter, next day I move on to B, then C, etc.
The story so far...
- A is for... Adam and the Ants - Kings of the Wild Frontier
- B is for... The Beatles - Abbey Road
- C is for... The Chemical Brothers - Exit Planet Dust
- D is for... Nick Drake - Bryter Layter
- E is for... Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music for Airports
- F is for... Mark Fry - Dreaming With Alice
- G is for... Gong - Flying Teapot
- H is for... Richie Havens - Alarm Clock
- I is for... Incredible String Band - Wee Tam
- J is for... Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene
- K is for... The KLF - The White Room
- L is for... The Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II
- M is for... John Martyn - Solid Air
N is for...
The Nice - Autumn '67 And Spring '68
There's something about the letter N than means it's not very prevalent in my collection. I've got a couple of things by New Riders of the Purple Sage that would be worth a share, and a copy of Nevermind, but today we'll going back to the sixties, with some psychedelic pop.
The Nice included Keith Emerson, who went on to have massive success with Emerson, Lake & Palmer, but here's where he started abusing his organ, before forming ELP a few years later.
This album is a compilation, which features outakes and alternative versions of tracks released in the Summer of Love, it's a different world, but a wonderful one to step back in time to...
