70 Gwen Party - The Power Elite
John Peel (and me and Susan) were big fans. Of course we don't really have a power elite as recent events have shown.
The Power Elite by 70 Gwen Party, originally recorded for Mark E Smith's Cog Sinister label in 1989 but unreleased. Later included on the John Peel Sessions 1, 2, 3, 4 album released on Snape Records in 1995.

Airfix Bluetits
Back in the late 70s as well as doing the band the band members also made kits and wargamed with them. Not very wild but it's what we did. Susan figuring if you can't beat them join them and made this kit. She did really well and painted them beautifully. 1:1 scale.

Status Quo - Paper Plane (The Marquee 1972)
This era Quo is OK. When I was at school I went to rural discos and this sort of thing got 'em dancing.
You Got What You Wanted Ike and Tina Turner 1968
This is good. It starts off all restrained and then reaches a crescendo. One of my favourite Ike and Tina songs.

Wizards Trailer (1977)
Wizards is a 1977 American animated post-apocalyptic science fantasy film about the battle between two wizards, one representing the forces of magic and one representing the forces of industrial technology. It was written, produced, and directed by Ralph Bakshi. This is 20th Century Fox's first animated film.
Wizards is notable for being the first fantasy film made by Bakshi, who was previously known only for urban films such as Fritz the Cat, Heavy Traffic, and Coonskin. It grossed $9 million theatrically from a $1.2 million budget, and has since become a cult classic. The film was rated PG by the MPAA.

13th Floor Elevators - Tried To Hide 1966
Love this version.
from The 13th Floor Elevators - Wikipedia
In early January 1966, producer Gordon Bynum brought the band to Houston to record two songs to release as a single on his newly formed Contact record label. The songs were Erickson's "You're Gonna Miss Me", and Hall-Sutherland's "Tried to Hide". Some months later, the International Artists label picked it up and re-released it.
