Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: Bob Barrows on August 08, 2007, 04:10:44 PM I didn't know Nirvana were even born back then! I think that's a joke, but just in case ...http://ukpsych.tripod.com/nirvana.htm Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: sliprigilio (Al) on August 08, 2007, 04:12:38 PM Mik: There is a web-site with a list of all the bods on the cover - it was taken in Hyde Park early morning sometime in '69 I think. Simon Nicol is in the middle (obscured),Sandy D. on the side etc.
I think there was a piece in Mojo about it as well. If I can remember the web-site I'll post the link. I may have even discovered it through this board - anyone know??? Ollie: you know it's not the Seattle bunch - it's the original psyche-pop duo (they did try and sue Kirk and co over the name and did later recored 'Lithium' ::) ::) :o :o :o Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: Tony H on August 08, 2007, 04:20:54 PM I've had the album yonks. Swapped it for some comics.
Here's Rainbow Chaser by Nirvana played on a strange video done by an Oz Clarke lookalike. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQqFMygkyF0 Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: Jefferson on August 08, 2007, 04:22:22 PM Olle : I don't suppose you'd have this transferred onto CD would you? I had this double LP sampler back then and I consider it a classic. Unfortunately, the 'first' Mrs Jefferson sold on a car bloody boot sale as an act of divine retribution!
I do have a copy on CD of the other sampler Island Label 'Bumpers' - anyone remember that one? Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: Ollie on August 08, 2007, 04:24:13 PM Olle : I don't suppose you'd have this transferred onto CD would you? No sorry, got the track listing from answers.com I didn't know Nirvana were even born back then! I think that's a joke, but just in case ...http://ukpsych.tripod.com/nirvana.htm Actually, it wasn't. Thanks Bob and sliprigilio :-[ Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: Sandra on August 08, 2007, 04:49:01 PM If I can remember the web-site I'll post the link. I may have even discovered it through this board - anyone know??? It might have been in Marmalade Skies - http://www.marmalade-skies.co.uk/ but i don't have time to check at the moment (if I am to finish work and get to Cropredy tomorrow). Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: Philip W on August 08, 2007, 06:02:18 PM The Word November 2004 had an article on the "glory days" of the sampler album: You Can All Join In, Nice Enough To Eat and Bumpers were the classics from Island. I still love them. Nice Enough To Eat introduced the world to King Crimson and Nick Drake - need I say more? In the Foreword to his Sandy Denny Songbook, Maartin Allcock mentions You Can All Join In and says how excited he was that he later got to play with musicians who feature in that famous photo.

Guy from Clouds in black hat Steve Winwood in woolly hat next to Iain Matthews Simon in middle with (possibly)Spencer Davis in front Tull at the back, with Nirvana in front to the right (2 of them) Wynder k Frog behind the black guy. Could be John Martyn with the glasses! Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: mik on August 08, 2007, 08:35:00 PM I think what has always astounded me - well more recently being a designer - is the way the group has been arranged badly. Not because they arn't in group order but Thompson and at least one other has ben cropped off the cover pic!!! and why does matthews looks so grumpy!!! and where is clive bunker? - who is the obligatory black chap? ;) I think john martyn is the chap with the funny fringe and the side burns behind the chap with glasses and just in front of Barre

Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: mik on August 08, 2007, 08:48:05 PM Yse I remember bumpers - cartoon shoe cover
the other sampler we listened to a lot was El Pea that really is execellent Olle : I don't suppose you'd have this transferred onto CD would you?

Also loved Fill Your Head With Rock, Nice Enough To Eat but the one I loved best was Harvest's A Breath Of Fresh Air Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: Tim Fletcher on August 08, 2007, 09:03:04 PM El Pea was excellent. First "rock" record I bought - my copy has little pencil annotations by all the drawings of the groups where I tried to work out which was which. Not sure how many I got right. I also have fond memories of an Island catalogue with an album per page and that also had a "flicker book" function. Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: mik on August 08, 2007, 09:25:42 PM come on lads come on lads!!! keep it on topic!!!!! ;D
i will return to this after crop - though i will say its interesting just how many of that photo have been at \crop!!! El Pea was excellent.

Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: Sir Robert Peel on August 08, 2007, 09:34:16 PM Quite right, Mik.
I had a copy of You Can All Join In. Last saw it in 1883. Used to gaze at that photo for ages wondering who the heck everyone was. Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: Tim Fletcher on August 08, 2007, 10:24:27 PM come on lads come on lads!!! keep it on topic!!!!! ;D Sorry ;) - Pre-Cropredy excitement is getting the better of me! Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: Edthefolkie on August 08, 2007, 10:26:08 PM A bunch of us lads lived in half a big terraced house round the corner from Ladbroke Grove around 1971, and there was a copy of You Can All Join In hanging around; can't remember now who owned it. Got played a lot.
I bet Iain Matthews looks fed up on the cover cos he's freezing! One of us owned a Track Records (I think) sampler with If I Had a Ribbon Bow on it - Judy Dyble vocal refrain. My God there was an eclectic collection of records in that place - we played Who's Next incessantly and we also had gems like At The Hop by Danny and the Juniors and an ancient Sandy Powell 78 - Wi' 'Er 'Ed Tucked Underneath 'Er Arm, B side Sandy Among The Nudists. ::) Rather a lot of Moody Blues & Bread too, lowering the tone a bit. Oops sorry, thread creep...... Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: mik on August 08, 2007, 10:35:46 PM ladbroke grove 71!!!! wow!!! You have lived my dream - Hawkwind, the fairies, The mountain Grill, great stuff missed it all by ten years :( mind there is an upside I'd rather be 43 than 53 ;D ;D ;D

Really missed Portobello market when we moved out of London in 1973..................... I expect our paths crossed quite a bit ;D Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: jamesc on August 08, 2007, 11:21:45 PM Yes, I am looking at a copy of Bumpers now, when I brought it it was something in old money on a market stall, saw a copy of it at a car boot the other week,

I expect our paths crossed quite a bit ;D I stayed many nites with a pal in the early eighties above honest johns in Portobello Road - few years after the heyday of that ladbroke grove scene - he was always pointing out things like the house they fillumed Performance in and in that big pub near the yard where virgin was - the earl of gransden I think it was - was lemmy!! who is much smaller than you expect.starstruck daze!!! Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: malcolm weaver on August 09, 2007, 12:45:54 PM Re: You Can All Join In......are you aware of the pink Island CD box set ..Strangely Strange But Oddly Normal..which does its best to cover all of the Island sampler albums between 1967 and 1972. Although you miss out on the artwork of the vinyl era there is a lot of info relating to the artists and the samplers etc.
Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: Nick Reg on November 28, 2007, 04:31:08 PM This month's Record Collector mag (with The Who on the front) has a diagram identifying all those on the cover of YCAJI.
Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: Staffan on November 28, 2007, 06:55:50 PM One of us owned a Track Records (I think) sampler with If I Had a Ribbon Bow on it - Judy Dyble vocal refrain. I found it in my LP shelf. "Backtrack 2". Among the tracks: Under my thumb-Who, Desdemona-Marsha Hunt and Hendrix´Purple Haze! Great resord but the only of the Backtrack albums to include Fairport. I must admit that I never bought the other samplers mentioned. It seemed that I already had the tracks I was interested in on different LP:s. I have a feeling that they didn´t precede the albums the tracks were taken from but rather came out after the original albume had been out on the market for some time.

Supposedly they thought he was Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. ;D Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: Nick Reg on November 29, 2007, 11:34:29 AM The Word November 2004 had an article on the "glory days" of the sampler album: You Can All Join In, Nice Enough To Eat and Bumpers were the classics from Island.

Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: Chris on December 02, 2007, 08:38:59 PM Ian Anderson (now of fRoots but he used to be in a band back then). WAs, and still is - the band is Tiger Moth. You'll note he was involved with The Imagined Village, and showed up at the Festival Hall - along with Tom Robinson (who plonked himself down beside me) Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: Anne Dunn on December 02, 2007, 10:14:57 PM Chris, yes I did know that but I didn't have a lot of time to do my post!
I did see Ian after the qu's, but didn't spot him again during the performance. Title: Re: You can all join in Post by: Chris on December 02, 2007, 10:35:19 PM He lent Billy Bragg his amp....
