    The original song dates from the 13 Century, apparently. "Sing loudly, cuckoo ! "

    Aagh. Thats what they sing at the end of the 1973 Wickerman.

    Not a happy moment

    That movie haunted me for weeks afterward

    Listening to Postcards of the Hanging & comparing it with Dylan & the Dead.
    The Dead recording is really crisp while the Dylan one sounds very muddy, & the lyrics of I Want You are almost impossible to make out.

    1stshow - they are one of those bands I've heard of, but never actually heard. I always imagined them to be in the same bag as another band I never heard - Chicken Shack. Of course, not having heard either, it's impossible to tell.

    Earlier LP titled C.C.B.B. - A Lot of Bottle
    (EMI import from England)
    Later just C.B.B. - Sense of Direction
    Bought used in the '70s for $2.50 and $2.75.
    A little nostalgia to start the day.
    Cheers

    Subtitled "the pagan sound of British and Irish Folk 1966-1975" this is another excellent compilation released by Grapefruit a few years ago. Typically 3 cd sets from the above timespan, there are now quite few excellent compilations released on this label. This particular one follows on from one called "Dust on the Nettles" - also recommended, that came out a few years before this one.

Just received my Dave's Picks Vol. 21!What a great show/recording!1973-That was the year of my very first Dead show in Buffalo,New York!For fellow New York State'ers,some may remember that was the year of Governor Nelson Rockefeller's new get tough anti drug laws going into effect...of which "Don't get caught holding the bag!''was the slogan on all the commercials!Anyway,me and a buddy hitchhiked from Niagara Falls to Buffalo's War Memorial Auditorium to see the Dead when, walking through the parking lot we were searched and busted with weed!The cops took our weed and then let us go with a warning-that almost blew the evening for us but fortunately the Dead and the wall of sound made us forget about the cops by the second song!(at least I think it was a wall of sound show-I know I saw it!)It was billed as two two hour sets-which it was probably more!Vol 21 is pretty much the same set list as that October show as I remember it.(without checking).Great memories of a life changing time in my life-I was 16 years old then and I turn 60 in April!I probably have heard some Dead or JGB almost every day since then!
