Space Ghetto

I got this for the Pink Floyd cover version (a collecting side hobby if ever there was one) but turns out to be not that different from the original (!?) I was hoping all the tracks would be sung by kids, especially Going Underground but it’s more like an old TOTP album of dodgy cover versions. The only copies I could find online were on brown vinyl (appropriate for such a shit album) but for some reason this one is on white vinyl.

I was best pleased with this great pair of compilations of weird garage and freak out 60’s singles linked with samples from trash movies & TV, one was a test pressing too.

I got this for the stupid sleeve, the model is Patti Boyd girlfriend of Beatle George at the time (clue was on her nose!)

I got this for the sampling possibilities.

Other album & single charity shop finds.

Rare first UK pressing from 1970 with no EMI logo on the label.

geddit?!

A classical 8 piece group recorded in Ambisonic UHJ surround-sound, sounds like Radio 4 closedown music.

A one sided promo of electronica & spoken word some copies came with a book, this one doesn’t.

An excellent, lost funk & soul gem released on Holyground in 1972. This is John as in John Paul Joans eccentric Led-Zep-member-name-nicking Northern comedian, who made the Top 30 with The Man From Nazareth.

A Beatles cover version which went to #1 in Australia by Elvis Costello’s dad, yes really!

In 1979 John Lydon dismissed the writer/performers of this song (aka Hudson/Ford, The Monks, Strawbs etc) on the TV show Juke Box Jury and they tried to get their own back with this lame tune first issued that year. For some weird reason they changed their name 9 years later and reissued it with a B side featuring a faithful cover of John Otway’s Oh My Body (Is Making Me), it was still crap.
