Mountain- Nantucket Sleighride

[Anton90125]

I have been listening to the album Nantucket Sleighride by Mountain.

One of the tracks Nantucket Sleighride (to Owen Coffin) was used as the theam music to that 70's current affairs program on ITV on Sunday 12:00- "Weekend World"

This Band had one of the great rock guitarist Leslie West.

Yes, I tracked this down in vinyl in the 1980's in the Record and Tape Exchange in London (I was a dispatch rider at the time). I seem to remember it was really hard to get. Thought the album was OK but not the greatest. Haven't heard it in years....no TT.

I think the original LP version may be worth a small fortune. A number of years ago I tried to get the album and was told then that it was worth a lot of money. I know there have been some LP reissues of it. I have the a CD version.
