Oooh Boy... Could I have actually stumped The Master (-; Want a hint? Or was this just silly? Jeff [Let's wait and see if anyone finds out. Unless you think...
... It's hard for me to tell, but is Kevin playing a guitar instead of a bass in this photo? In that case, is it "We Know What You Mean" ? Bill [I hadn't...

... From memory I think the line-up includes Ian Carr, Bob Bertles, Ken Shaw, Geoff Castle, Roger Sellers and Roger Sutton, but I'm not 100% positive. Some of...
Jeff - I'll have a go at this! Kevin seems to be operating a pedal on his bass so is it "Joy of a Toy"? It's a great photo by the way and thanks for sharing it...
Haven't a clue ! I've look hard at the picture and with the morning Canterbury sunshine reflecting off my screen I am still without inspiration or insight! So...

OK - I'll give. You can't tell by the way he's standing in the picture but Kevin was playing his Rickenbacker 4001 bass he used on that tour. The answer to the...
... BINGO! A Vox wah-wah pedal it was! Give the man a cigar (or a bottle of 12 year old Scotch or whatever he's like!) It was indeed "Joy of a Toy" - I...
I would go along with the previous "Joy of a Toy" guess as it looks like Kevin is playing a wah wah pedal (but weren't we all back then?) Cheers Roger...
Hello Jeff Here's a rattler before the rattlers. I saw the SM in 69 (Plumpton) and I'm hoping for more profound discussions... [Now, that was a *very brief*...

Simon: Thanks for the effort (-; If you look closely Kevin's foot is on a pedal. A wah-wah pedal. What song on Soft Machine Vol I has bass through a wah-wah? ...
And RIGHT YOU ARE my friend. Yep... I even owned one of those Vox chrome wah-wahs for years. I remember for a long time I was the only one in my little...
Stuart: Yes I did see your post - you were the only one that has guessed it correctly as a matter of fact! Congratulations... You are obviously an astute...

Was walking through Covent Garden (London) this evening and walked past a a bearded guy in a wheelchair, glanced down and thought 'I know him'. It took a few...
Aymeric: Thanks again! I'll tell Paul when I see him this weekend - going to Seattle. You know maybe Paul didn't rave about the horn players playing as much as...
Hi all, It's been some months now that I have been reading in silent mode most of the wise posts from the Rattlers list with the biggest interest. I just...
There will be a Soft Machine radio special tonight from 10pm to 2am Eastern standard time on WPKN 89.5 FM out of Bridgeport CT USA and WPKN 88.7. We can be...
I agree with Olivier. Another great recording. Plus, as someone who never had the opportunity to see SM live, the DVD is really a godsend. In fact, my wife,...

First, a little history. Some of you may remember that on the Canterbury Scene group, I converted Mark's "Canteresque" tapes to CDR and shared them since...
I thought I'd seen this band's name here and there. I wish I could help with contact info; surfed the net looking with no success. This is from Gibralter Enc....
