Thread Name: Incredible String Band: An Appreciation.
Subject: RE: Incredible String Band: An Appreciation.
Absolutely agree. I visited London in 1967, and my cousins were raving about the group. I heard the Incredible String Band in person in a basement joint in Soho, and I have liked their music ever since. Can't say that it always travelled - I brought the record back to Canada and my friend Dougal [the one with the stringy long blonde hair] was apt to call them the incredibly stringy band. but I still have two of their original LPs and haul them out once a year. The layers of the onion in particular hits me right here.
