There are so many tracks which over the years have sneaked out from the record labels vaults to spend their time swimming in the ocean of obscurity.
With this thread, the aim is to trawl these oceans and bring you some of the great harvests that such work deserves and to enjoy some good music:
so here is number one
Out Of My Hair
In The Groove Again

Sit back and enjoy three minutes of lilting melody and clever lyrics!:nod:
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

Tinkerbell's Fairydust...........Lazy Day
This band had all the signs of a band who should have gone onto great things............This track encapsulates the feel of the late 60s perfectly...............However problems lead to the band breaking up and only a few tracks available to the public.........They did leave an excellent album which has onlt seen the light of day in the last few years.............listen and enjoy

One Of Oak records nice little releases
This was an independent studio in London registered to RG Jones..........They released in a limited way on OAK records ( Usually 99 copies to avoid tax!)
The people who worked for this outfit are surprising ( Look into references to RG Jones and Oak Records it is an interesting story)
Here is a great little offering:
The Gremlins
High Time Baby

When Lindisfarne got into difficulties in the mid 70's they split and formed two bands , one of which was the excellent Jack The Lad
Jack The Lad had little chart success and were only average album charters but here is a lost gem
