The Monkees - Live 1967
The Monkees - Missing Links (what a treat these LPs were for a Monkees fan in the 1980s, especially alongside the disappointing 'Pool It'. The live version of 'I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone' is the sound of grunge being introduced to Seattle 20 years early, and the 12-track vinyl version of 'Missing Links' was the first hint that there was a huge vault of unreleased treasures waiting to be plundered. Thoughtfully selected and perfectly sequenced it works as an excellent new studio album in its own right).

Jan & Dean - Command Performance
Jan & Dean - Jan & Dean's Pop Symphony No. 1
Jan & Dean - Folk'n'Roll
Jan & Dean - Jan & Dean Meet Batman

Simon & Garfunkel - Simon & Garfunkel (cash in 1967 budget LP of Tom & Jerry recordings - the contents have little to do with the pair of intellectuals on the cover)

Paul Simon - The Paul Simon Songbook

Yes - The Ladder
Yes - Magnification

Lux Prima – Karen O / Dangermouse
Quite possibly my album of the year so far. Fab.

Henry May Long – Max Richter
Some rather moving music on this.

Quo – Status Quo
I watched Hello Quo again this week. It's a rather decent if hurried account of the band, from the beginning to their early 70's peak an then the long slow decline where they became a pale imitation of their former selves as far as I am concerned. The clip at the end where the four original members re-unite for a surprising run through In My Chair demonstrates all too well what they lost when Coughlan and Lancaster left. Even after all those years apart there was a natural chemistry. Anyway, I put on my old copy of the 1973 Quo LP which is evidence of how big a loss Lancaster was. He wasn't just a bassist. He co-wrote much of this album with Parfitt. In fact, there are only two tracks on the album that he didn't have a hand in writing.

Blackwater Holylight – Veils Of Winter. Second album from female five-piece who specialise in 70s doom rock with maybe a sprinkling of Fleetwood Mac. Interesting sound. Good: https://blackwaterholylight.bandcamp.com/album/veils-of-winter

The Legendary Pink Dots – Angel In The Detail. No, I didn’t know they were still going either, but this is quite a beguiling (if rather long) album – kind of gothic techno psych sung by a dark side Syd Barratt: https://legendarypinkdots1.bandcamp.com/album/angel-in-the-detail

Garcia Peoples – One Step Behind. Another band channelling the spirit of West Coast psychedelia with a 32 minute title track: https://garciapeoplesbbib.bandcamp.com/album/one-step-behind-pre-order

Alice Hubble – Polarlichter. Analogue synth lady existing somewhere between electro pop and the Ghost Box crowd. Agreeable: https://happyrobotsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/polarlichter

Jonsi & Alex Somers – Riceboy Sleeps

Sherpa – Tigris & Euphrates

Regal Worm – Pig Views

Twice Bitten – Late Cut. Nottingham ‘heavy wood’ duo who seemed to be the support act at every other gig I went to in my teenage neo-prog years… https://twicebitten.bandcamp.com/album/late-cut

VA – Island Radicals (Mojo comp)
