Subject: RE: BBC 4 folk program
yes.. sorry, it was embarasing shite !
made me and the mrs squirm..
she broke out in uncontrollable hysterical laughter..
i had to try to justify to her why i was such a big donovan fan
when i was in my early-mid teens..
actually about the time that concert was recorded..

i'd enthusiasticaly collected something like 20 of his LPs in the days preceding punk rock..


nowadays, i'll still stand by the mid 60's mickie most produced acid pop/rock material..

of course, some of the early 60's ballads..

and his "open roads' folk rock LP is patchy but ok..

but in retrospect..

watching the performance seen on BBC 4 from the "cosmic wheels" period 'come back' ..

well .. thank fuck for punk rock !
