Tapestry of Delights: This folk singer was discovered by
Andrew Loog Oldham in the mid-sixties. In 1965 he gave her a
Jagger/Richard composition to record, Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind, but neither this, or the follow-up - both recorded under the name
Vashti - made any impact.
She made further recordings, but, as with many major labels at the time most of them were shelved. One of her own compositions I'd Like To Walk Around In Your Mind, recorded with Mike Hurst for Andrew Oldham in '67 did subsequently resurface on Circus Days, Vol. 1 and was later covered in 1996 by Lush, as a 'B' side to their 500 single.
Vashti's album was recorded in 1969 and produced by Joe Boyd. Something of a period piece, it told the story of a two year horse-drawn journey from London to the Hebrides, which Vashti made with the initial intention of meeting
Donovan off the Isle of Skye... a journey which nowadays might seem absurd, but one can't help but admire the sheer audacity of the venture - living on the road with no money except what she earn't from painting farms, digging gardens and in the bad times getting an emergency fiver from Joe Boyd, all the time writing and singing songs in defiance of it all.
She was assisted on the album by some top folk figures - Simon Nicol,
David Swarbrick and
Robin Williamson, and it is now ultra-rare and very sought-after... ... Read more » |

ItalianProg: A band from Florence, Campo di Marte were another of
those band that despite a good recording deal with a major company (that
incidentally was the only
effort by
United Artists to produce an italian prog group), only released an
album and disappeared.
The group was formed in 1971 by guitarist Enrico Rosa and drummer/flutist Mauro Sarti,
that had previously played with minor groups like Senso Unico and La Verde
Stagione, along with american-born bass player Richard Ursillo (named Paul
Richard in the LP cover notes as it "sounded less italian").
Keyboardist Alfredo "Carlo" Barducci was a trained french horn player,
and the large number of instruments played gave the new group the chance to mix
classical inspired rock music with various influences obtaining a rich and
varied sound.
A fifth member was added with drummer Carlo Felice Marcovecchio, that had
previously played with another very popular group from Florence,
I Califfi,
and the presence of a second drummer left Sarti the freedom to play the flute in
many tracks. The band had a good live activity, playing under
different names, and the final one, Campo di Marte (named after a quarter of
Florence), was found during the LP recordings. The album lyrics referred to the foolishness of wars,
and in contrast the cover contained a drawing of ancient Turkish mercenaries
injuring themselves to demonstrate their strength and courage. The same design
was contained in the band's posters. Campo di Marte is a very good album, not
particularly original but very well composed, sung and played, with some orchestrated parts that
sometime remind the later work of
Maxophone (with large use of flute and french horn). Good
guitar and keyboard playing throughout the LP make this an essential album in
any italian prog collection. The seven tracks are sequentially named
(starting with Primo tempo up to Settimo tempo) as movements of a
symphonic composition.
By the way an extra track recorded during the LP sessions, entitled Si può
riuscire and planned to be released as a single, has never seen the light of
day. Unfortunately a long time passed between the album
composition and its recording and release, and the musicians had completely
lost their interest in the band when it came out, aided by the total lack of
promotion by the record company, that had also forced the band to change the
songs lyrics. Guitarist Enrico Rosa (that was also the whole first
album composer) then recorded a second Campo di
Marte album that was rather a solo album and totally different from the debut LP,
and this was never released by United Artists, seeing this as an uncommercial
choice. He moved to Denmark in 1974 and he's
still a professional musicians there, having had a long activity both as session
guitarist and as solo musicians in the jazz and classical music fields.
Bass player Paul Richard reappeared in
Sensations'
Fix with his real surname Ursillo, and has played with that band in all of
their albums. Even drummer Marcovecchio has collaborated with Sensations' Fix from time to time.
Drummer Mauro Sarti later played with
Bella Band,
with an
album on
Cramps in 1978. 2003 has come, and the group has been reformed by the
original members Enrico Rosa and Mauro Sarti, along with Eva Rosa (recorder), Matin Alexandr Sass (keyboards) and Maurilio Rossi (bass), for some
concerts in Tuscany and for the recording of the live CD Concerto zero.
The double set includes a 1972 concert recording, originally used on a
promo-only LP made by the band, and the whole 2003 reunion set. A GREAT
return!!!

Tapestry Of Delights: Peter Bardens first worked at The Marquee with Hamilton King's Blues Messengers and The Peter Bardens Trio. He also managed
The Cheynes at the time, and in July 1963 joined them too. In April '65 he left The Cheynes for
Them, and formed
Peter B's (Looners) in February 1966. The following May, after
Rod Stewart and
Beryl Marsden joined, they became
Shotgun Express.
In 1969 he formed
Village, who also backed him on his first solo album The Answer. The second, featured "Peter Bardens' On". Both are dope-infested in sound and are a bit primitive in production. Long instrumental improvisation dominated both albums, but his keyboard playing was always impressive.
Peter Green is credited as guitarist on Vintage 69, though it doesn't say on which tracks.
In 1972 Bardens formed
Camel, which at least matched the success of
Them. Leaving
Camel in 1978 Bardens later recorded several albums which were at the forefront of the 'new age' music genre of the late eighties. He also has played on numerous sessions and was a member of studio group Keats.
Alan Marshall, who played on the early Pete Bardens albums, later played for
Zzebra.

Tapestry Of Delights: When
Pete Brown was kicked out of the band,
Chris Spedding took over the vocal role for this now very rare album. Twisted Track is a standout cut, which also got an airing on Harvest's Picnic sampler. Other highlights include Turned On To The Earls Court Scene and there's also some good interplay between the band, particularly
Spedding and Khan, throughout.
After this album,
Spedding concentrated on session work and also pursued a solo career. The remaining members formed
The People Band, cutting one album on Transatlantic. 01. Sunshade 3:33

Tapestry Of Delights: This was the first album released on Decca's progressive Nova label. Ashkan are not able to create a sound of their own. The menu mainly offers ill-digested blues and on one track a shameless
Traffic rip-off ( Slightly Country). The sound is heavy and unpolished, but without conveying any inner need or aim. For completists only. (Marcel Koopman).
