Yes, the Bandcamp download is the single CD (UK Cocteau Records version) and is not connected with the Esoteric/Cherry Red box set.

Gary Wright was the first artist in the first concert I ever went to. It was 1975 at Hawthorne Park racetrack, the lineup was Gary Wright/Lynard Skynard/Peter Frampton/Yes. Frampton was promoting "Frampton Comes Alive", and Yes had "Relayer" with Patrick Moraz on keyboards. Gary was well-known for using the Moog bass, although both Stevie Wonder and Billy Preston had done it earlier. The connection to Indian religious themes ran deep; Gary's uncle Richard Wright was Paramahansa Yogananda's driver and right hand man when he returned to India from Encinatas, CA in 1952. Yogananda had just completed his book "Autobiography of a Yogi", living in a houseboat on the lake shrine in Encinatas. A life-changing book for me. Gary's music lives on.

So many elements combined to make this song so great, not the least of which include Indian instruments like Dave Mason on shehnai and Brian Jones on tamboura drone and sitar.

Sparks are playing The Hollywood Bowl next month. 😳

Whoever you are, if you don't watch this, then you're soooo missing out Public Service Broadcasting ~ People, Let's DancePublic Service Broadcasting - People, Let's Dance [ft. EERA]

Oh sorry for some reason I was thinking Kiss. But that’s correct and UH covered that great song Hold Your Head Up nicely - which in many ways is more relevant than ever.

Definitely some valid points in this list and they outline how the progressive-left will, and do, label people, with the full intention of trying to discredit and slur individuals who 'dare' speak their own mind, if it even slightly goes against their ideology... The reality is, they demand that everyone must agree with what they say, only speak and express themselves in a way they will tolerate, or feel their wrath if individuals do not comply. These people are ideologues, there is no reasoning with them. Haven't we been here before?, or something like it (1933). They will use whatever methods they like as they try to inflict this control, which includes (amongst others) falsely labelling and vilifying people (as outlined), through to vigorously pursuing the full force of cancel-culture against individuals who speak their own mind, which has led to people loosing their jobs and having their careers destroyed. But that doesn't bother these people in the slightest. Add in to this list that "all white people are racist", "all white people are privileged", if you are a person who would refuse to use pronouns to address some wokey individual, then you are transphobic and should be admonished/cancelled, etc, etc, etc.....This progressive-left agenda seeks to rewrite history, even erase it where they see fit, they seek to change very definitions, including those grounded in science, change street names, school names, tear down statues, or insist they be removed, indoctrinating very young children in the classroom with their ideas re gender identity, which they teach as fact, etc, by covertly introducing such material and teaching methods into the school/curriculum...All this stuff is out there, so go look for yourself...Never mind open, constructive discourse, they are actively trying to stifle and even stop free-speech and expression, in a supposed democratic society. To be fair, a lot of these far-left 'woke' individuals, have in fact been indoctrinated themselves, through school and especially in universities. They are like sheep, with very little grip on common sense, let alone reality...In reality, they are part of a massive groupthink and the danger is some people actually become part of it, without even realising they have.....Some people will only see what they want to, and the truth and reality they want to see..Blinkered and biased vision. As Alec says, lets hope reality and common sense catch up and return, but this thing is getting fairly deep-seated, so I'm not holding my breath. We will see. Doubt I'll make any more comments on such issues, as the old saying goes, better things to do.

The 1952 AEC Regent 3

I think that digital downloads of all the Nelsonica discs could be a project for the Mayor and others. Could supplement the Band Camp Fridays release schedule.

New York World's Fair 1964...

Jeep Bop Deluxe

Beat you to it mayor Jon 🙂

Looks like the Royal Artillery Memorial at Hyde Park Corner

How not to get a smooth action...😉

Something more contemporary, but looks impressive. The Vox Starstream VSS-1 comes with 27 sound models and a built in reverb for all acoustic/synth models and distortion for all electric models. A touch of the Star Trek nacelles about the body frame and a handy two-footed built-in 'stand' so it doesn't fall over when you prop it up somewhere.
