xp Stevolende love that track. There's a Joe Meek's Groups comp that has all of the Syndicats stuff, it's great. And they should really redo the Nuggets sets as small-format sets for reasonable prices now...

I have that compi on cd.
Think I first came across mention of the track in Julian Cope's early 80s NME article on garage rock then took years to get to hear it. I think it just about lives up top his hype.

I have the previous edition of that Bright Phoebus and am half thinking about getting this expanded remaster. How essential is the bonus material?

Stevolende, Thursday, 17 August 2017 11:21 (six years ago) link

have just started listening to the demos: backing is very stripped back (just a single guitar thus far), performance maybe a bit rough & somewhat hesitant, but would still recommend (sound is great & the vinyl edition is beautiful to behold)

no lime tangier, Thursday, 17 August 2017 11:33 (six years ago) link

Previous edition seems to be ignored in most reviews. I picked it up about 10 years ago. Think it's on an actual cd.
It should be mentioned in the new R& L Thompson thread since it has songs and playing by him

traditional folk music ensemble from the occitan region of france. the main featured vocalist went on to do a psych-folk lp in the mid seventies which looks to be difficult/expensive to find... but thanks to the wonders of the internet:

Nice. I bet this is the stuff Acid Mothers Temple were listening to circa "La Novia."

yep! & as it happens, picked it up in a record shop next door to the place where i saw acid mothers playing later that night :-D

Madonna - Lucky Star

this song is very City Pop. also the video reminds of the David Bowie "Be My Wife" video!

I really like them on that and throughout that period.

There's a large collection of other live sets by them up at archive.org

Wow, never would've thought to look for them on archive.org (more of a Dead spot in my mind), cheers for the tip!
