It was mainly the first 2 albums and not much else. <br /><br />The hmv in Leicester has Edgar's son Luke doing an in store performance for National Album Day in October. Don't know much his stuff but I've seen him playing keyboards for his dad. <br /><br />And that's a very nice bag.

By far the best choice for hanging round the market place with, trying to look cool because you'd just bought an LP, rather than the 50p ex-jukepbox singles they sold in the newsagents which you usually got.<br />AndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-65705227576487380292022-09-18T15:25:18.834+02:002022-09-18T15:25:18.834+02:00I like you.

I can't even remember what they sounded like, as I only saw them play once, and I was in a studio when they recorded something that at the time sounded pretty good.<br /><br />However, this album, which I just heard for the first time is absolutely great. Serious. Check it out.

Then they hear the kids are diggin' them...ie the one song,and they have a nickname like the Adopted Uncles of Caravan Drone or something even more ridiculous. Then they make an album 30 years after they last tuned a guitar,and the producer says,lets get a bit more modern...Caravan Drone is yesterday, the kids want Sandal Gaze now. So they make a Caravan Drone Sandal Gaze hybrid that pisses off everyone....christ pop music is full of shit innit?...but i wanna hear some Caravan Drone NOW!Jonny Zchivagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859740264284241032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-47448567730833753302022-09-17T16:05:13.439+02:002022-09-17T16:05:13.439+02:00Reminds me of similar experiences when attempting ...Reminds me of similar experiences when attempting to expand my musical horizons beyond punk rock in the early 80s. My friend had Pebbles, Vol. 2 which was my gateway to discovering "60s Garage Punk" or whatever you want to call it. In one of my forays through the used bins where I spent much of my time I came across an album ("Sinderella") by The Sonics who I was aware were a fairly renowned Garage Punk band. The cover looked dubious but I took the chance anyway and was rewarded with similar results: boring re-treads by has-beens cashing in on their newfound popularity.

I remember it was very druggy. There was this roadie who lived there too, this black guy, who ripped off some dealers, and I was at this other house where the dealers showed up looking for him, with this glass Super Soaker like device filled with a caustic substance they used to threaten everyone with.
