Alchemist on s/t seems to be the one track that doesn't work for me so far. Maybe I need to listen on headphones. But seems not to have anything happening.
I had a great live set from Germany in 1970 that reminded me of Mirror Man Beefheart but haven't heard anything similar so far.
But generally great band from this.

Mighty Baby are great. I loved the Action from the time the Edsel compilation came out. Lauder talks about that too.
Good to have the box sets of the 2 eras of the band.

& I probably need to know Help Yourself better. I have one 2fer CD which is good.
Not sure what the pairing is.

Lauder also talked about Cochise who I've heard a little bit of since. Sound interesting. Individual take on country rock.

Yeah "Alchemist" felt too much like random experiments stitched together, was hard to keep my attention throughout.

This was the Help Youself box I got, from Esoteric: https://www.cherryred.co.uk/help-yourself-esoteric-recordings-present-the-complete-studio-albums-of-help-yourself/

I'll have to check out Cochise.

Abbey Lincoln - Abbey Is Blue

Holy crap, how have I missed out on this amazing album until now? And is there really no dedicated Abbey Lincoln thread?
