After The Chameleons split up in the summer of '87, Mark Burgess and drummer John Lever joined with a pair of guitarists to form a new quartet, The Sun and the Moon, which debuted in mid-'88 with an eponymous album that sounds a lot like The Chameleons. Burgess evinces even more imploring emotionality than in the past, and it's a very solid LP

That takes it back in the day for me. I saw them at Felt Forum when that record came out...Johnny said "here's one my brother wrote" before breaking into "Frankenstein". During which Edgar played Keyboard, drums and sax. Was also impressed by Floyd Radford on guitar.

Trover,

Wow . . . sounds like an incredible experience

Traffic – Welcome To The Canteen United Artists Records UAS-5550 US 1971

from a discogs note "Welcome to the Canteen proved how good a contractual obligation album could be (one last album was necessary to satisfy the terms of British label Island records' licensing deal with American label United Artists)"

A great mixture of live tunes

Is this record as amazing as people say it is?

Unfortunately, I only got through the first LP before my 6 year old woke up with a stomach virus

. With that said, it sounds FANTASTIC and that's coming from a guy who also owns the CD.

This one really blew the lid off the peace and love movement!!!

decal,

I've been pondering your statement about this lp blowing "the lid off the peace and love movement!" I would not disagree and I was thinking about other lps that had a similar impact. Black Sabbath's Black Sabbath was released 13 Feb 1970. Four months later in June Uriah Heep's Very 'Eavy Very 'Umble... was released in the UK and later the US version

Uriah Heep – Uriah Heep Mercury SR-61294 US 1970

an excellent lp also

Black Sabbath was the band that blew my mind and changed the type of music I was listening to at the time. The Beatles were put on the back burner and Sabbath was most definately IN I was about 14 or 15 when I heard my 1st Sabbath LP boy was my mother sad she HATED Black Sabbath

BS Master of Reality was my very 1st 8 track tape. I stayed up all that night listening to it over and over again and again and remains to this day as my favorite BS album................Bill

Beau Dommage – Où Est Passée La Noce? Capitol Records SKAO 70.037 Canada 1975

Beautiful French Canadian prog/folk from Québec perhaps on level with Premiata Forneria Marconi . . . without Peter Sinfield's influence/lyrical translations

Well Done Jim

That particular disc is still languishing in my "Want List" but won't be long

Meanwhile I spotted that Decal had ordered this

Had to put my newly acquired vinyl aside for forty minutes or so and fill the house with some Skynyrd
