The green one's another Grassroots LP Lee mate.

I recognise the other one, but I can't think what it is!

I've never heard this so I can't comment on the record but that is a beezer selection of strides on display on the cover

Haha - I knew the green one was the Grass Roots as I have that one - I didn't know the one below it was them too - now you say it I can sort of read it

It's what I'd imagine some folks would call acid folk, but I'll probably be well off the mark as I know nothing about that type of stuff!

Well it's not what I thought it was!

I thought they only did two LP's under that name and one just as 'Lovecraft'! Whens it off and whats it like then mate?

**gogo** · 02-11-2011, 06:12 PM

Potliquor is really good lp and on Keith & Donna is Gerry Garcia gtr and voc.

1975 - Cocktail of Rock, Funk, Disco, Blues but not enough good. The singers are Michael Tegza and Lalomie Washburn (later in Rufus

)

I usually buy everything I see by Yusef Lateef so picked this up on the way home. UK issue but was only 5 Euros.

Two crackers there, Craig.

IImod1, what's that Bejart soundtrack like?

I saw a copy a few days back, but didn't have time to investigate further. Would a return trip be recommended?

psyche rock

teen tonic / jericho jerk

**AlanP** · 03-11-2011, 02:21 AM

ha...great stuff, those crazy Frenchies. Umm, they are French?

Anyway, I hope it's still there. I've got a wee bit of time after work, so I'll give it a crack. Only $3 as I recall.

cheers for that.

Keith was keyboardist with the Grateful Dead in the 70s and Donna sang with them for a while, hence the connection. I believe I'm right in saying that her voice was an acquired taste for the Deadhead legions

Bargain ... I don't think you'll regret taking a punt on that LP.

**AlanP** · 03-11-2011, 05:06 AM

and...damn, it was gone. kinda predicted that result in my waters.

at least I managed to drag the Carpenters Ticket to Ride and Jerry Murad's Harmonicats doing the theme from the Avengers from the same bin, so, while a loss, not a total loss.

right, the music awards await.

and free booze.

Thank you - I love the lp - I'll go and buy all the Grateful Dead's record in the attic.

**gogo** · 03-11-2011, 10:09 AM

I took them if someone needs:

Messe Pour le Temps is amazing! I remember first hearing it on a Gilles P show when he had one of the members of the United Future Organisation doing a set.

When it was first discovered it used to be a relatively expensive record but in fact it is not rare at all.

My copy is a spare if you have any trades

Yeah - I remember going over to Paris for a weekend about 10 years ago and grabbed the first copy I saw for €10...and then saw copies everywhere all weekend ranging from €0.50 to €50.00! It's definately a common record in central Europe.

Half a great LP though

- I'm not a big fan of the concrete side. There's an ep which has the 4 best tracks but it does omit the crazy drum and moog intro track so you still need the LP but it's not as easy to turn up, there's also a 45 with two of the tracks for added loudness and there's a proper raer ep with 2 tracks off the LP and 2 off the Maledictus Sound LP - only ever seen this on walls at Utrecht and €€€ lists though..

Don't forget The Hip Sound on Limelight, either.

Wasn't aware of that one Rich - noted

Ever so slightly different versions of 'Teen Tonic' and 'Too Fortiche'.

**captainwilloughby** · 03-11-2011, 11:44 AM

are they different? I have it and haven't noticed the difference!!

Whoa! What have I done? You might want to do some youtube research before you delve into the Dead, though if there's a copy of American Beauty I think you'll enjoy that.
