Hi everyone, In response to Smile finally being released after almost 38 years (and while I really was expecting it to be as big of a mess as the Pet Sounds...
Potatoland was broadcast in its entirity on BBC Radio One's Sounds of the Seventies and to my ears the presenter/host is Bob Harris not John Peel. There is an...
Hi Ian, Thanks for your input, but I wanted to ask a few things (as well as answer your question) ... of the ... Peel. I was going by the review that resides...
The BBC broadcast was actually aired at the time of its intended release so 1972/3? I have the music broadcast at the time but there was an interview too which...
... release so ... interview ... Hmm, so was it possibly aired again in 1978, in response to the Rainbow show and the petition? ... Banquet-so ... Is this...
I don't recall it being rebroadcast at that time- The dialogue on the original was the chat between Ed & Randy "Look up in the sky-it's a giant chocolate...
A few bits of extra info: 1. The Chord CD has different mixes of the side 2 material than the 1980 LP version (which presumably matches the Line CD). Check out...
The Beggars Banquet release also came with the comic book. Spirit did appear on OGWT complete with people dancing dressed as potatoes! ( I doubt if Dan Quayle...
... My ... Actually, I have never directly heard the Chord CD (the bonus tracks did appear on a fan tape called "Rare Spirit"). Is there a complete My Friend...
I said I thought the acetate MAY have been a double-and some/most acetates are one-sided! so that is a single LP. Not something I want to dwell upon but Randy...
Collectors Choice Music (http://www.ccmusic.com) would be the logical one to contact regarding proposing a possible new Potatoland release. They're my heroes,...
First hearing for us was BBC Radio (1972/3?) which they were promoting and so we can assume this track listing is what they wanted. That is another point-was...
What is bizarre to me-anyway is that Ed can't use the Spirit name? Did Randy or Jay form the group? Spirit name was owned by a NY group before them who ...
I don't know for sure who owns or has copyrighted the name, but I really don't think it's Jay. He was the very last member to be added of the original lineup. ...
This topic was cover some time ago. Randy was upset about the Stahley version of Spirit and bought out the rights to use the name Spirit from his former...
Or....Gary Larson knows the answer! Whaddya doin' up so late? ;) I, myself, am making up some time at work because I'm going to be coming in late tomorrow, in...
Just cleaning up my clogged email, it's only 11:16 PM here. I'm still wondering what happened to Randy's son. We haven't heard from him or about him in a...
Can someone post the link to the BBC1 Potatoland concert if it is still available? I saw this bank Goldrush (http://www.truckrecords.com/)with Mark Gardener...
Gary, The BBC broadcast of the original Potatoland was not a concert but a preview of the album from I assume acetate or tape together with an interview with ...
Hi Ian and all I also remember the broadcasts, radio and TV; 1973 Whistle Test with Mr Skin (and one other I think??) and then in 1981 (when they played London...
That's how late it was where I am, you must be on the West Coast, too. Yeah, we haven't heard from Quinn in awhile. Wonder what he's up to? Best, Leigh P.S....
Yes Martyn I am sure you are right with Hand Guns and Turn To The Right. Ken Livingstone pronounced London as a nuclear free zone and held a concert at Crystal...
I have sent the Future Games and Restless outtakes to Spirit radio so you can hear those there. I will request BBC Potatoland -my copy is really old and buried...
I have asked Arie at Spirit radio to rebroadcast the BBC Potatoland in total. I don't know whether he has it. If you have a decent copy of the original-can you...
Greetings to all! First off, KUDOS to Kevin on his well researched "Potatoland" article. Not long after the Kaptain Kopter LP was released, Randy was working...
