Hey, Rocky, The "Winter Consort" LP I am remembering is called "Something In The Wind". I believe it's their 2nd LP (the first being titled "The Winter Consort") and is from 1969. As far as I can tell, it's never been reissued on CD.
>The Beatles, Abbey Road (usually Beatles, Hendrix, Floyd, and some of the other highly sought after albums are way too pricey for me but this one is in bad shape....but its playing so far) A copy of Electric Ladyland came in today. After looking up the price and subtracting condition, it was $34.98. In the book, right above that listing was a mono-play promo copy of E.L., I think its one of them with the naked ladies on the cover, the book value for mint is $4000.00. You have to be real careful pricing the collectables...
I'll keep my eye out for the second W.C. album B-Two. Haven't heard of John Renbourn yet, thanks.

I just received my copy of The Seekers - Complete, a five cd boxed set of all the works that this marvelous group ever recorded. I was in love with Judith Durham for her voice from the first time I heard this group. If you have not heard of them, do your self a favor and give a listen. What ever happened to real FOlk Music? Still listening.

Originally posted by Braling II: patrask, are they the ones who did "Georgie Girl"?
That is they! They are an group of four superb musicians from Aussie land and started about 1963 and had big hits in the '60s and then did Georgie Girl for the movie. I was in tears today re-living all the old folk songs on their Complete boxed set of cds. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to hear the Dylan songs or others of that ilk sung by polished musicians who can sing and harmonize and play instruments. Great group. I especially liked the Malvina Reynolds songs, What Have They Done To The Rain and Morningtown Ride. They are the Bradbury of folk groups, along with The Limelighters.

silence, except the distant rumbling of the dryer in the basement and the ticking of my little desk clock with little pictures of the family in it and a thermometer....

Sunfighter had that great cover. I believe their daughter, China is the child on the cover. She later was an MTV VJ when they used to play what we once knew as videos. Moody Blues, they tour, but now there are just three who are active.
You have good taste in music. The introduction to the song Minstrel In The Gallery from the same album is classic. Too bad they never played that intro when the song was on the radio. As for Joan Baez/5, that was something my parents played. Was that on Vanguard Records, or a later A&M release?
Thanks for the compliment greenray! You must as well. My Joan5 album is on the Vanguard label. I remember China on MTV, good looking gal as I recall. I recently saw a picture of Grace and was surprised at her shorn locks and completely white hair. It's sort of sad to see all of your rock idols getting old. I guess you can put them up so high on a pedestal that they seem invinsible or infallable to aging like the rock and roll gods we want them to be. Even knowing that it's not the case, it still shocks me when I see a favorite star or musician that I have not seen for a while. It's also true with family or friends you have not seen in a long time. Speaking of this, have you seen Eddie VanHalen lately? I freaked, he looks way worse than Keith Richards ever did.
