Vinyl collector - especially 7” singles, meditator, member of Triratna Buddhist Order. Seem to have developed a thing for vintage paperbacks. Low woo threshold, likes an evidence base.

That’s a good point.
It’s really helped me to appreciate a whole bunch of stuff I never really ‘got’. It’s funny how understanding the context of a piece of music can help you (well, me) to enjoy it more.

Was that the same year they played Glastonbury ?
I saw them at the Royal Albert Hall on that tour, and it was a bit disappointing actually - mostly because the RAH, although iconic, isn’t a great venue for that kind of thing if you’re not on the ground.

Those are the some of the best things about it.

Ah, there’s a similar story about someone experimenting with ether in the C19th and experiencing a revelation.
After multiple attempts to record the insight, they finally scrawled a note before passing out.
On waking they eventually deciphered ‘there is an all pervading smell of petroleum spirit.’

Ah! Thanks - that makes sense.
I’d still like a copy anyway.

I might do a bit of pre-emptive ebaying, and get things shipped to chums I’m going to visit. Probably the only certain way to get Texarkana Baby.
