"But of course, the sudden bout of whatever-the-f*ck is not the only reason I’m not in a good place. Another is that the place I am in is Britain, where the governing party seems to have convinced itself that, “the far right is correct. Vote Labour” is in any way a winning strategy."

Crackle and Pop The Rock Machine Turns You On CBS 1968 This early sampler album was priced at 14 shillings and 11 pence (£0.75) and introduced many "underground" acts to europeans. I can remember local bands covering the Spirit and Moby Grape tracks at gigs. #CrackleAndPop #Vinyl #1960s

Crackle And Pop Fairport Convention "Meet on the Ledge" Island 1968 Their second single,released ahead of the "What We Did On Our Holidays" album. The A side is Richard Thompson's first great song and the B side gave an early indication of how good a guitarist he is. #CrackleAndPop #Vinyl #1960s

The state of the newspapers this morning: a near-universal attack on trans people, most of it grossly exaggerating the implication of yesterday's ruling. Almost joyous in its spite.

Crackle and Pop "Fairport Convention" Polydor 1968 Bought with birthday money August '68. The first album has them heavily in debt to the USA west coast sound, but with a distinctive British twist and with the vocals of Ian Macdonald and Judy Dyble. 1/2 #CrackleAndPop #Music #Vinyl
