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
my PopMart lp deal on this is still in back order status

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.

Why would you name your band after a stupid mythical bird?

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.

simon,

you may be right, long days of arduous work . . . hammill may not have been the best uplifting work to be spinning - yet it did help decompress

last evening this was the last lp spun

and i made it to spin for another day

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.
