Oliver - Standing Stone. CD. (Wooden Hill - WHCD001) Official reissue of an album that many people regard as one of the classic '70s UK psych albums.Originally only 250 copies were pressed of this unique album in 1974, and it contains an insane mixture of acid folk, Beefheart vocals and Jethro Tull like blues. Very odd and very psychedelic blues with saucer-sized eyes! Magnificent stuff.

Oliver - Good Morning Starshine- The Best Of. CD. (Taragon - TARCD1104) The greatest hits of this legend of easy listening and sunshine pop all assembled for the first time on CD. Oliver (for 'twas he) was of course known for his rendition of the title track (which came from the hit show 'Hair') but also recorded many folk rock and country rock ballads, songs by Rod McKuen ('Jean' being a particular favourite) and his own compositions such as 'Young Birds Fly' and 'Buddy' show the kind of music he wanted to create: complex, orchestrated, sometimes dramatic adult folk-pop similar to that of Bob Lind. There are also tracks here that result from his collaborations with Lesley Gore, which should have reached a larger audience had the world taken him more seriously. Still, he's a legend to us lot in the know. Grab this and find out why!!
