Great Tasting Vinyl
- Thread starter malvai
- Start date
Blondel are nice enough as pleasant , light English folk bands go. Not my band of choice for the genre as such. Nice to own on LP though. The "England" album is quite good. Had seen a copy in a Cambridge record store when I was in the US, but dropped it due to baggage limitations and availability of far superior stuff
stop being a tease and share some stuff!
Not a Lata fan either. I like sweet voice of Suman Kalyanpur. Not Hindi movies stuff, which were perceived as an amazing resemblance to Lata. But can hear Marathi songs by Suman Kalyanpur any day.
Regards
Well, for British folk in general, I'd go with the front-runners - Fairport Convention / Steeleye Span, and their various offshoots / solo artists like Sandy Denny, Richard Thompson, Albion Band, Maddy Prior, Gay & Terry Woods, Silly Sisters etc.
If you like your folk with a bit of jazz, blues and gospel thrown in, you can't go wrong with the Pentangle's "Basket of light", "Sweet Child" and "Reflection"
Sorry I can't share vids - my office internet blocks youtube, and most of these probably don't feature there anyway
I am not surprised manav, I have seen your vinyl shelfs
. Post some more unknown stuff.Thanks.

Just listening to another hard to get album on vinyl...
L. Subramanium & Stephane Grapelli - Conversations
Surprisingly I got this one from the US. Haven't seen this on here...
I remember that my dad had it on tape (actually, he still does!). It was a constant companion, along with a McCoy Tyner tape, when I was preparing for my Xth board exams so, so many years ago!

Somewhere in the mid-90s, Sony came out with a 10 disc compilation called "The Roots of Acid Jazz"... I used to have one or two on CD as they were printed in limited quantities and hard to get...
Then when the vinyl bug hit me, I decided to look for the series on Vinyl. Only to find that getting them on Vinyl is even harder....
But, my efforts finally paid off and after great expense managed to import a sealed copy of Vol 7!
here's a sampler of what you'd find on it!

Been wanting these, but haven't seen them around here... Looks like ebay will be a good resource for these...
I haven't heard Pentangle. Will check 'em out on you tube and hopefully score a couple of their vinyls as well!
That's the very same one that I have! Its lovely ain't it?
I do have a couple of friends who'd managed to score some Sandy / Fairport / Span LPs off Chor Bazaar back in the 90s, but I'm guessing those days are long gone now. Everything I have of them on LP, I've got from the US.
Pentangle, if anything, are even harded to find on vinyl, as they were comparitively low sellers to the more "mainstream" Fairport and Span (they at least each had one British Top 20 hit). Purely for the joy of listening on vinyl, though, I would actually recommend a couple of Pentangle's 80s albums "Open the door" and "In the round". They sound fantastic.
Last month I got my copy of Thom Yorke's Eraser. It sounds awesome. Guys get it. Listen to it once and get hooked! Great music. SUPERB SONICS!

No man... not a great Radiohead fan... but I did like Thom's solo album a lot... I downloaded it for sampling the music and then, bought it on vinyl!
Incidentally, many reviewers feel that the vinyl sounds way better than the cd release of this album!

Great album. The extended version of "Dear Mr Fantasy" is killer
I liked 'House of Cards'. Video was innovative.
