V.A. - Back On The Road Double LP (1988)


Something a bit different today. A classic double 32 track vinyl LP released back in 1988 featuring a whole lot of classic and not so well heard of oldies. Some would call this "Prog Rock" I suppose (don't all moan at once)

Listening to this one after so many years was suprisingly a very enjoyable experience. Ripping it wasn't not so enjoyable as it took bloody ages but at least it didn't jump. Maybe in just an old hippie at heart - I dunno. I especially enjoyed Fairport Convention, Roy Harper,Focus,Nick Drake and Jefferson Airplane. I can honestly say theres only 2 songs on here I didn't like. Not bad out of 32. Anyway,enough waffling..........
