I picked up Jeremy Spencer's Bend in the Road LP a couple of years back, some lovely slide playing on it.

Good old Jeremy! Great slide and singing indeed. Still haven't gotten round to getting that album. A double wasn't it?

Just absolutely brilliant Peter Green Vocal and Peter Green guitar! He has never come anything near that since his health deteriorated all those years ago. Thanks for that!

You just don't get a performance like that on vinyl any more! You can see, hear, touch and smell the emotion in that song!

Brilliant summing up! I know I cried when I heard that performance and then smiled when I realised that he's still alive and well! Thank God........

Lucky you! Obviously I don't possess a CDP and there's no downloads I can find so I'll just sit back and enjoy my original vinyl copies all over again :) What the Fripp is going on??

Listening to this last night. It's the only BBB Lp I have but what a stunner. I love the bluesy 'I Got a Mind To Give Up Living', Elvin's heavily reverbered voice on 'Never Say No' and the absolutely amazing 13' raga of 'East West' where Bloomfield literally goes into orbit. Today I'm still walking into doors in a daze ;)

Thanks for that Mark.

Unfortunately I'm a complete beginner when it comes to download sites unless it's free :)
My friend was telling me about Spotify and he says it's only amazing for a tenner a month. Maybe some day I'll take the plunge. At the moment I occasionally use an Irish download site called 7 Digital which is great but probably not as extensive as the two already mentioned. Don't know how the prices compare but it seems fair enough.

Just after checking the link you've posted and I'm impressed! I'll have a proper look later........
