An early outing for some future ECM stalwarts.

And isn’t the original sleeve great?

First time I heard The Band was when I watched this on TV. Loved them straightaway. The songs, the three voices, and they all in their own individual ways looked fantastic too.

And the guests! Neil, Van, Bob and all the rest.

Oh for a time machine to have been there.

Unfairly maligned, I think, perhaps because it came out in 1978, when things a bit spikier were in vogue. But I think it has some terrific songs on it.

Awful sleeve though. One of Hipgnosis’ very worst.

More prog.

I bought this as a primer before Peter’s Festival Hall gig in October as I was unfamiliar with his work and didn’t really know what to expect. He played a couple of these. I really enjoyed it.

I bought this yesterday in Liverpool, and I’ve never actually heard it before, so this is a first.

I’ve only recently begun listening to Kevin Ayers, and I wish I’d started sooner. I love his voice, and there are some great songs on this compilation. I must start investigating the individual albums.

I haven’t heard too many of Dave’s ECMs, but I do like this one. Very accessible.

Greatest Hits with Orchestra, more or less, and very enjoyable.
