Gilmour ripping the place up then things turn weird.....

Part of the Atom Heart Mother suite off AHM album.

Does get a little weird but I love this track as well as Echoes and Shine On.

As you've guessed I like the longer tracks !!

 

Here's one from 1969 that is a little different from their usual stuff.

 

Deep Purple - April

Sorry Andrew I meant weird in a good way, ie different and interesting. I am sure Gilmour had that funky blues part down already and they just stuck it in to Atom Heart Mother later on.

Find myself going back to early Floyd more and more these days.

Uriah Heep- I was watching University Challenge with my dad and the question was which Dickens character was known to be very eavy and very umble. Quick as a flash I replied, Uriah Heep. My dad was impressed. ‘So , that expensive education hasn’t been wasted on you,‘ he replied. 

Sadly it had Dad, I had just seen the album cover for the Uriah Heep album.I had no idea of the Dickens character.

From the talents of Brian Jones to those of Mick Taylor.

That  Uriah Heep album cover! As a kid who had grown up watching the BBC‘s dramatizations of Dickens’ novels every Saturday early evening, I had some pretty scary images burned into my brain. One was from The Old Curiosity Shop and featured a man with only one leg, suddenly emerging through a misty, smoky haze, laughing insanely whilst swinging towards the camera on some kind of trapeze. It scared the daylights out of me.

So Uriah Heep’ s album cover reawakened my fears, as did the first Sabbath cover.

Of course in those days the covers meant so much, no internet or media blitz.

Man had some of the most interesting covers, as well as some great song titles.
