The fan produced history of the Incredible String Band continues from Big O again this morning and whilst it is definitely getting rather mixed quality it is still well worth checking out for the avid fan as indeed I am.

We are up to volumes 13/14 and the last two volumes we are promised for tomorrow. 







Now as I mentioned on the weblog there are some tracks that have been omitted here for having previously being made available elsewhere and some of these have had their intros (and outros) left in when introduced by radio disc jockeys which makes for a weird listen but if one were to have the original recordings sourced you could, in theory, make it up to listen as a more consecutive sensible listening. As is, it is odd. Now we are down to supposed soundboards from the period which in the case of the one from Tampa Florida in 1973 is really quite poor but I am spoilt these days  by what are referred to as soundboards. It is still listenable but not as good as previous discs
