On the Island record label, a bit of an eclectic mix. I guess you would call it a sampler of the signed acts, from King Crimson to Nick Drake. Here's a non representative thingy* by Heavy Jelly. I like it!
*No single track is represetative
It also includes a rather nice ditty by Dr Strangely Strange - 'Strangely Strange But Oddly Normal' *biggrin*
There was a time when all I could afford to buy was sampler LPs like yours Freddy, and I've got quite a few of the scratched blighters lying around. This one was my favourite, and I still play it..Freddy58 said:Nice Enough To Eat - Various

Oh Jim, I'm getting all nostalgic nowJim-W said:Yep, when all we could afford was 14/6! I've got loads of 'em too....in fact, I love samplers, but I have no idea why. Back in the day it was just a chance to buy a record with some of the bands...we called them groups then...that you've heard about or read about. 'Nice Enough To Eat', like 'You Can All Join In', was a brilliantly compiled Island sampler which I hammered to death....Spooky Tooth's 'Better By You Better Than Me' was a favourite; when I eventually bought 'Spooky Two' it was the best track on the album and I was a bit disappointed. Can you remeber 'El Pee', another Island sampler? Love that too.
'All Good Clean Fun' was one of the best: great tracks from Amon Duul II, Gypsy, If and my favourite, 'Street Songs' by Help Yourself. I keep looking for copies of the Help Yourself lps but I never see them.
CBS, Immediate, Island and Harvest all did great samplers; my favourite is the Marmalade sampler '100% Proof' which had Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger, Blossom Toes, Gordon Jackson, Chris Barber etc.
Memories? Yeah, but I still play 'em.

Funnily enough I was planning to play both those Fall LPs yesterday, but currently haven't got enough dexterity to handle records. Frustrating! Will line them up for asap.Charlie Jefferson said:Hex Enduction Hour - The Fall

Wytches are a bit darker. There is variety. Only issue would be the singer's voice if listening to it a lot but then if you were listening to it that much it's because you like the voice!thescarletpronster said:File under 'extraterrestrial psychobilly'.BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW said:I thought The Cramps were Goth.
Thanks Charlie, I might have to make a purchase or two.Charlie Jefferson said:Hi BBB,
Yes, it's quite stunning. The voices work particularly well amongst the weft and warp of dub-stylings.
I also bought King Tubby's The Roots Of Dub and Rare Dubs By Augustus Pablo/Lee Perry/Wailers.
They are all excellent. All recent-ish re-issues on Jamaican Records.
No idea why I got rid of it. Bought for less than a pound, cover wasn't great, but record was playable.Jim-W said:God, I love this record! Love the cover photo too. Such intensity.
