Island Sampler "EL Pea" 1970
Manila said...
Here's another one I was holding back, this time because there's a track missing - Jimmy Cliff's 'Can't Stop Worrying, Can't Stop Loving You' from his 'Struggling Man' album, which I don't have. If anyone can provide it, that would be great.
That aside, I think this now means we have the complete set of Island samplers. Thanks to everyone who helped out. All of us who once thought sticking knives into a Hammond C3 was the coolest thing on earth (and many who still do) can now whack on the soundtrack of our youth as we Google to see what the drummer from the Groundhogs is doing these days, or whether Edgar Broughton is dead. (Actually he's not, he's touring. Out Demons Out!)
Download link fixed.

Fine, Sire! ['Out Demons Out!']
know of more since the NPR gig?
:)
I never got round to buying this when it came out (probably because I was a poor student at the time) and I've regretted it since, having got all the others. Thanks very much!
Well I don't know about the *original* drummer from the Groundhogs, but I do know that Mick Cook (ex-Home, played on Crosscut Saw among others) sadly died a few years ago.
I also know that neither The Groundhogs nor Edgar Broughton were on El Pea (or even Island - in fact they were on Liberty and Harvest repectively, ISTR) but I *do* have the original vinyl and will rip the Jimmy Cliff for you ASAP.
How's that for service? Here's the missing Jimmy Cliff track, ripped straight from the vinyl copy of El Pea less than ten minutes ago. Good job I kept my turntable :-)
(Err - sorry, there is one skip near the end. Can't do anything about it I'm afraid but I did edit out the loud click)

I love this blog!! Thanks so much for all the rare & wonderful music you're making available, and for keeping the links open from long-past posts.
Hearing 'Bird In God's Garden' from the R&L Thompson live bootleg was a revelation.
witchseason, I've had cause to thank God you kept your turntable on many, many occasions! Thanks for saving the day. (If anyone hasn't yet visited his blog, you don't know what you're missing: http://witchseason.blogspot.com/)
Of course the 'Hogs and Edgar weren't on Island (or El Pea). What are we? Novices? ;-)
The original Groundhogs drummer (at least on the albums) was, of course, Ken Pustelnik. Not a name you easily forget.
I heart Bob Pegg. Keeper of the Fire is indeed a great buy; the liner notes alone are reason enough to pick it up.
Sorry to pee on your fireworks but the Mountain track isn't right! It's just a loop of the intro...
Mountain track ain't right! Listen!
Brian's right. Dammit. How did that happen? I'll re-up it. Sorry.
Ok, I've re-upped the Mountain track, which you can get here:

You can also get witchseason's rip of Jimmy Cliff's track (see above). However, with so many changes I thought it might be better just to re-up the whole album including the fixed/added tracks. It's now over 100mb, so I've done it in 2 parts.
Part One is here: http://sharebee.com/4fadd6c9
Part Two is here: http://sharebee.com/a7ca44ee
Liz, can you change the download link on the main page? Sorry for the cock-up, guys.
I am now going off to bash walls and stuff, ideally with McCLaren's head, after England cocked up even more than I did yesterday. And while I'm in a VERY bad mood...if there's something wrong with a post, how about a polite 'Thanks for this but there's a problem with track x - any chance you could fix it?' and not 'Mountain track ain't right! Listen!' Because next time I'll say 'tough shit!' What am I, your bloody work-horse?
awesome thanks for the Bob Pegg album
Thank you for all of your work on this one.
Apologies for being abrupt re. the "Mountain track ain't right" comment. Thanks for correcting it and for bothering with this long-lost classic compilation. Compare this to NOW 56! I know which one I'd choose!
Brian, you are a gentleman. My apologies too for overreacting.
And I agree with you about NOW 56, or 527, or whatever they've got up to now.
Hey...this one takes me back...just looking for a rip of 'All Good Clean Fun' now :)
just come across this site now. funny how my mates and myself were just speaking of this album the other night and lo and behold I come across it today great blog by the way and keep on keep on the fantastic posts
Please let me know how to acess The Last Wolf album by Bob Pegg the link doesn't seem to work...thanks....
please fix link to Last Wolf album...thanks
