Enjoying some good old Craic (pronounced as crack, meaning excitement)! Picked up 2 CD's during my visit to the local Renaissance Festival this last Saturday. Craic is a 4 person group playing "heavy medieval" music composed of drums, bagpipes, ancient style violins and Irish bouzouki. Tunes range from Irish pub songs, traditional songs from around the world up through the 1800's. some melodic, others raucous and all of it contagious, fun and entertaining. Love the looks on folks faces at work when I pull into the garage with the car windows down and the bagpipes a pipin' like all get out!!!

Just bought a cassette of Billy Idol's first album to listen to on my R2-D2 player. Little bit choppy sounding from age, but still pretty good

So much richer than their North American debut.

I just listen this YouTube ... the Best of Paul McCartney and the Wings
I haven't listen half of these songs in the past 5-10 years!

Was discussing 70s novelty songs someplace else, and it brought back memories of this song I had on '45 as a kid, so I searched it out on youtube to hear it again...
Kong by Dickie Goodman, it actually charted at #48 in '77.

The first twelve tracks from a Decca Originals CD titled The Psychedelic Scene. Had to end at 12 to catch a Match Game '76 re-run.

That looks great. I haven't heard of most of the artists, apart from the three obvious big names (Small faces, Moody Blues, Al Stewart), which makes it all the more enticing.

Were they all Deram artists? That's pretty impressive for one record label imprint (or whatever the correct terminology is), if so.

A quick rundown of some highlights: The End was produced by Bill Wyman of the Stones (and the song here he co-wrote)... The Syn had Chris Squire and Peter Banks later to found Yes... Timebox included future Rutles guitarist Ollie Halsall (Leppo) and drummer John Halsey (Barry Wom)... Garden Odyssey was Graham Gouldman later of 10cc... and Keith Shields who has my favorite track on the CD was produced by Hilton Valentine guitarist with The Animals. All Decca and Deram label releases. I keep that one with this (Psychedelia At Abbey Road) which I played some of after I'd reached track 25 on the Decca/Deram compilation... The N'Betweens later became Slade. Simon Dupree/The Moles became Gentle Giant.

I'm a fan of a lot of those acts (Yes, Gentle Giant, 10cc etc) so all the more reason I'll want to track this down.
Psychedelia at Abbey Rd looks good too, though I'd have preferred they chose some lesser-known tracks rather than Sunshine Superman and King Midas in Reverse (great songs, but I have them on other records).

Icarus The Marvel World Of Icarus (from 1972) I've heard of that album but never heard it until now.... that guy has a seriously huge voice. I had to check to see it wasn't David Clayton-Thomas or someone else I've heard before (or maybe this Steve Hart did those mail order have your lyrics recorded, I've heard a bunch of those and there are some great singers). "Fantastic Four, Fantastic Four." In my brain tonight now!
