conservativewoman.co.uk/Off the Beaten Tracks: The Joy of SamplersBy Alan Ashworth June 29, 2020 FOR the hard-up music lover in the late Sixties and early Seventies, budget-priced sampler albums were heaven-sent. For just a few bob you could travel through a record label’s roster listening to the cream of its artists. The aim of course was to make you buy the full-price LPs at getting on for two quid from which the songs were taken. However this would often end in disappointment when you found you had the best track already. Some samplers were actually classics in themselves, so it’s on with the crushed-velvet loon pants and RAF-surplus greatcoat for a deep wallow in nostalgia. I’ll start with my favourite label of all time, Island. Its first sampler, in 1969, was You Can All Join In, named after the Traffic song. Retailing at a mere 14s 6d (73p), this was seriously good value. Even better, I was lucky enough to find a copy nestled in the second-hand racks at the Electron in Nelson for a mere 7s 6d (37p). I played it to death. First of the 12 tracks is A Song for Jeffrey, an alternative mix of the track from Jethro Tull’s album This Was. Next is Sunshine Help Me, from It’s All About Spooky Tooth, followed by Free’s I’m a Mover, from Tons of Sobs. The Stephen Stills song What’s That Sound comes from the LP Supernatural Fairy Tales, by Art, and then a cover of Traffic’s Pearly Queen from Tramline’s album Moves of Vegetable Centuries. Traffic themselves close Side One with the title track. Meet on the Ledge from Fairport Convention’s What We Did on Our Holidays kicks off Side Two in rousing style and then Nirvana (British band, nothing to do with Kurt Cobain) perform Rainbow Chaser from All of Us. Next, John Martyn with Dusty from The Tumbler, Clouds with I’ll Go Girl from Scrapbook, the Spencer Davis Group with Somebody Help Me from The Best of . . . and to conclude, Wynder K Frog with Gasoline Alley from Out of the Frying Pan. Its successor, Nice Enough To Eat, came later that same year and was even better. Fairport get things going with Cajun Woman, from Unhalfbricking, a strange choice given that Island could have gone for the magical Who Knows Where the Time Goes? Mott the Hoople’s eponymous debut album provides a terrific second track with At the Crossroads. Better By You, Better Than Me is from the Tooth’s second album Spooky Two, We Used To Know from Jethro Tull’s Stand Up, Woman from the LP Free and to close Side One the epic Heavy Jelly single I Keep Singing That Same Old Song. Side Two begins with Sing Me A Song That I Know by Blodwyn Pig from Ahead Rings Out followed by the lovely Forty Thousand Headmen from The Best of Traffic. Nick Drake makes his bow with Time Has Told Me from Five Leaves Left, then comes the King Crimson tour de force 21st Century Schizoid Man from In the Court of the Crimson King. Gungamai, by Quintessence, is from In Blissful Company and Dr Strangely Strange wrap things up with Strangely Strange But Oddly Normal from Kip of the Serenes. Wow. Fifty-five minutes for less than three quarters of a quid – what amazing value. link

Life's a Long Song - Dave Pegg & Matt Pegg This is, of course, a reissue of the "To Cry You A Song" CD from way back in 1996 with to my mind a rather naff cover, the original release had more of a serious illustration to the reissue imo.
