Garden - Groundhogs [ BBC Radio 1 Session 1970 ] ELGROOVER 2011-09-24 | Track 10. Bonus track 'Garden'. From the album 'Thank Christ For The Bomb' Written by Tony (T.S.) McPhee Tony McPhee - Vocals, Guitar Pete Cruickshank - Bass Ken Pustelnik - Drums Produced by Malcolm Brown Engineered by Mike Harding & Mike Franks ♪♫ My garden is all overgrown and the weeds are creeping up on my home, Grass has grown over two foot high and the trees are blocking out the sky. French windows won't open any more from the moss that's grown outside the door, Hundred birds are nesting in the trees, looks like a wild-life sanctuary. But I'm not going to cut a single blade of grass, my garden will look just like the distant past, Before the days of agricultural land, before the time when pebbles turned to sand. When I leave this house I'm going to stay, I'm forsaking my comforts to live another way, Get my clothes from heaps, my food from bins, my water from ponds and have tramps for all my friends. ♪♫ http://www.thegroundhogs.co.uk The Official Site of Tony 'TS' McPhee & The Groundhogs

Burundi Black (Part 1) - Burundi Steiphenson Black [7 1971 issue] ELGROOVER 2009-10-19 | The original source of this tribal rhythm was a recording of 25 drummers of the Ingoma tribe, Burundi. The recording was included in an album, 'Musique du Burundi', issued by the French Ocora label in 1968. During the early 70s, a British pop musician named *Mike Steiphenson grafted an arrangement for guitars and keyboards onto the original recording from Burundi, and the result was 'Burundi Black', an album that sold more than 125,000 copies and made the British best-seller charts. ~ Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/africabeyond/africaonyourstreet/cdreviews *Mike Steiphenson aka Michel Bernholc, was a French (not British) musician and arranger. NOTE: (If I'm not mistaken), this here is the A side of the original 7" release of the Steiphenson arrangement from 1971. There was also a 12" 'Special Re-mix' made, released in 1981. However, there was not, to the best of my knowledge, a 10" 'Trench Foot Steppin' Dub Mix' released in 1917 ;-) The visual is a loop of "Hubble Approaches the Final Frontier: The Dawn of Galaxies". This "zoom" starts in the Fornax constellation and pushes through deeper and narrower telescopic fields to at last reach Hubble's Ultra Deep Field, where astronomers have identified 108 very distant galaxies. The zoom reveals the locations of the 108 galaxies, then it pushes farther into the field, showing a close up of three representative candidates. ☻☺☻☺☻☺ ~ Ubumwe ~ ☺☻☺☻☺☻

Has it been so long that you forgot I thought of you just yesterday My time it has been dragging And I've changed girl but so have you Please don't turn your face away It's in your eyes I know Where did the sparkle go? Sparkle eyes used to shine ev'ry day God, I wish I never had seen you looking this way Can't recall just who was wrong Guess it doesn't matter now To dredge the past I've no desire But it hurts to feel your sadness And to see the life you've led Faceless fountains cooled your fire It was mine not long ago Where did the sparkle flow? Sparkle Eyes used to smile at the rain Don't I wish that I could see it again Where did the sparkle go? Now if I only knew where to begin Girl, I'd try to break your fall and stop your spin But time has changed us both too many ways And I'm looking at a strange and empty face And your eyes used to shine every day If I had only never seen you lookin' this way Those faceless fountains they cooled your fire It was mine not so very long ago Your eyes would laugh at the rain You don't know how I wish I could see it again I just can't stand to watch goin' down slow Where did the sparkle go? ♪♫ http://www.steppenwolf.com The official Steppenwolf website. ~ [Many thanks to the copyright owners UMG for allowing this to be heard on YouTube] ~ ☺
