and then something from Sparks and then something from Edgar Broughton Band (like Roccococooler!), and right after some Family, and then some David Watts (oops ... early Kinks), followed by Curved Air, Rare Bird, Sutherland Brothers and Quiver, and then Unicorn, and then String Driven Thing, and then Wolf, and then Grobbschnitt, and then Pink Floyd and then Le Orme, and then Horslips, and then Steeleye Span, and then Mike Oldfield, and then ...

Yes, if you added Stomu Yamashta, Moon, The Silly Sisters, Widowmaker, Five Hand Reel, Michael Chapman and Greenslade that would sound like the playlist from Alan Freeman's 3hr long Saturday Rock Show, which I listened to avidly circa 1973.

Much more than that ... we had Stomu when he was doing Red Buddha Theater, when most people never heard of him until "GO". Chappo and Family and Streetwalkers are STILL, some of my most favorite things to hear. Greenslade is excellent, and you might even check out the things that Dave Lawson produced, like Stackridge! 
 
Want me to continue? The list is so big, that you will end up saying ... is there anything he didn't hear? The Roger Dean and Hipgnosis contingents, up until at least 1979 or 1980, were played almost exclusively, as it was a great way to find out about new bands. ALL of them, right down to Third Ear Band and Lol Coxhill and Kevin Coyne and his Marjorie Razorblade! About the only one I never got into much or understood was "East of Eden" and I'm not sure why.

My whole English collection is fairly well versed in that era. I think the only things I'm missing would be the likes of Cockney Rebel, and some of the other copies of things, but in terms of the major bands, they are all covered pretty well. I'm missing the bunch of John Mayall as well, that I used to check out and follow many of the musicians he had with him!
 
NP: Ogden's Nut Gone Flakes. Strummy, that is such a far out album! Fun listens too!

'Red Card' is one of my favourite albums.

'Jig-a-Jig' gave them a one-off hit over here.

Sparks were a great band, though I really only was into the mid-stuff (#1 Song in Heaven, Beat the Clock etc).
 
I worked with Jim Mankey on a couple of Concrete Blonde albums in the late 80's/early 90s.  He was a great guitar player, extraordinarily long hair for such a compact man, and a very good bloke to boot.  Recording the bat sounds at the start of bloodletting was an interesting experience.  Coincided with the one time I pursuaded my dad (who was the consumate City professional) to visit the studio to see what went on.  He didn't come back again.

'Red Card' is one of my favourite albums.

There isn't a whole lot of theirs I don't like. I love "Walking on Water" from the album with the great legs, and then Gypsy Moon, and Chili con Carne. And that live double LP of theirs is a heck of a power house.
 
I got lucky and came across Chapman's "Hyenas Only Laugh for Fun", and it is also a fabulous album with outstanding guitar work as usual!

I started with the double live album and worked back from there on vinyl. A couple of years ago I picked up 'Red Card' and 'Vicious, But Fair' as a CD double pack for £5 - result! I'll have to investigate some more of Chappo's solo stuff, I have a couple..'Kiss My Soul' is pretty good. I like 'Shadow on the Wall' with Mike Oldfield too.
