The Track I'm Listening To Is.......................

[Ruby]

I always listen to your links in this thread Ruby but rarely comment(but yes, I do click on them ALL!)....
i'd never heard of this band before....
when the vocals started I got a very John Lennon feel coming out of it and at about the two minute mark with the electric guitar really coming in I got a distinct "white album" feel also...
good stuff and thanks for your posts(especially the ones I consider obscure or unknown to these ears)

Oh dear lord. I’ll have to bear that in mind so as not to drive you genuinely Crazy!! Lol! Seriously – thanks, and I too listen to many links that I don’t comment on. I have a rule for myself in the Artist/Album Association thread that I will only post an album I either own, or have listened to in its entirety and the track will be my fav unless I can’t find a satisfacotry link on YT. It’s a good way to explore music that is new to me, as opposed to new music, which I mostly couldn’t be bothered with – there’s still way too much of the stuff out there that I know I’ll enjoy and haven’t yet heard!

Re The Greatest Show on Earth – they were shortlived despite being well thought of – bad timing seems to have had a role to play, but probably a combination of factors, as always. It might interest you to know that the bass player, Norman Watt-Roy, went on to join Ian Dury and The Blockheads and has had a hugely successful forty+ year run. Also played with The Clash, Roger Daltrey and Wilko Johnson.

You may recognise this one, from TGSOE’s second and final studio album, which the Hollies also covered …
