I have my original pink Capricorn but it's a bit noisy. Might be some seeds in the gatefold...

The Foundations ~ Build Me Up Buttercup is special to me. The year it came out I spent summer weekends working with Dad. So when I play the title track my time machine mind takes me back........Bill

bside,  love this album  :thumb: 
my PopMart lp deal on this is still in back order status  :x

Hope yours comes soon. This is a great album, and it sound great too! The LP delivers. I really like The Jayhawks, love their sound... it's a real mix between so many retro influences, yet they deliver something fresh. They have a distinct style. Wish they could have been a bit more recognized. From what I understand, it was hard for them to survive the record industry. Nonetheless, they were another great discovery from George Drakoulias & Rick Ruben!

I finally broke down and bought this record and really like it. The reissue is my first album by them. I just wished they would have chosen a different name for their band. As a proud Missouri Tiger, I had refused to have anything in my house that said Kansas or J*******, so I never gave them a listen when they first hit the music scene. :lol: Why would you name your band after a stupid mythical bird? :dunno:

An entire evening of Peter Hammill?!

That's a brave endeavor.

Do you feel suicidal yet?

Of course I'm referring to his lyrical content, not him as an artist.

 :lol:  Laura,  I can see your logic as Missouri Tiger, yet I just 'dug' this up.

'Named after "The Hawks" - as in "Levon and the Hawks," the name of Dylan's backing band in the 60s before they became known as "The Band" ' http://www.jayhawksofficial.com/band.html

bside,  thanks, me too.  I agree with you, the Jayhawks do have a unique sound and i think that alt-county niche is a hard one to fill (by listeners/fans).  I've always had Hollywood Town Hall in the same class as Whiskeytown's Faithless Street.  I think I may have picked them up around the same time, back in my cd buying days...

Bill,

 :) that's what music can do for us, it can emotionally connect us to a time and place . . . for me it is that transcending art form.
