THE QUINAIMES BAND – The Quinaimes Band – (Elektra) – 1971
I got this album recently and I knew absolutely nothing about the band and I only bought the record because the band were on the Elektra label from the early 70s. And, like I have said, I will give anything … Continue reading
DION – Sanctuary – (Warner Brothers) – 1971
Dion is amazing. Of all the rock n rollers of the 50s he has probably come out the best … He is alive, he found internal peace and, musically, he hasn't been trapped by the music that made him famous. … Continue reading
JOHN SEBASTIAN – The Four of Us – (Reprise) – 1971

Google "hippie" and "Brewer & Shipley" and you will find a lot of references to this act as a "hippie duo". When I was young and when I first got this record (at the great University of Queensland Student Union … Continue reading
MELANIE – The Good Book – (Buddah)- 1971
OK I only did Melanie a month ago. But, she's in arms reach and I'm in a rush and I need something to sooth the little edges of my brain. Watching the news I keep thinking how apt Barry McGuire's … Continue reading
