I purchased a small collection yesterday, which is always a good thing. If the records sell, it's a better thing. Still I do enjoy the process of cleaning, pricing and spinning. There was a copy of Mike Heron's "Smiling Men With Bad Reputations" in the haul. Heron was one half of the Incredible String Band and while I wasn't a huge fan of their twisted, English psych/folk, I do enjoy a few of their records, and I especially like Heron's solo record.
The one track I love sharing is "Warm Heart Pastry" which features Heron backed by Tommy &
The Bijoux, a band consisting of Pete Townshend, Ronnie Lane, Duncan
Browne and Keith Moon. John Cale is here too. He is billed as John Cale.

Well, that's very cool.
great great record and I don't think it's on any streaming service so all the more reason for someone to sweep it up.
btw how about that opening track. Call Me Diamond, never thought I'd here horns on an ISB alumni track.
Thanks Sal this is very good. I have tried numerous times to get into the Incredible String Band and have failed each time
vince scelsa used to play that track on wnew 102.7...great track
cheers
That's a good rocker! Nice workout by Keith at the end. The only song I remember from the ISB is "First Girl I Loved".
