From the Witchwood

From the Witchwood by The Strawbs.

On gatefold vinyl. From 1971. Progressive rock with Rick Wakeman on organ and synthesizer before joining Yes and eventually going solo.

Beautiful cover art. In my eternally ongoing vinyl wanderings, I don't recall seeing copies of this out there in bins. I'd like to think, if nothing else, that I have unique tastes.

Favorite songs are the first and last: 'A Glimpse of Heaven' and 'I'll Carry On Beside You.'

Village Green

Attempting to get enormously cooler by filling in the gaps. From 1968."The Village Green Preservation Society" by The Kinks. Another classic that's been missing from my collection until a few days ago. This is the 50th Anniversary Edition with tons of bonus tracks. No top-40 radio hits back then, instead just a lot of great songs.

Highlight for me ..... The song, "Animal Farm."
