Ye Gods! Had so forgotten this! Nice Enough To Eat inspired me to become a rock star (?)

[drbensessa]

Brilliant. Thanks for posting this. I never thought I'd ever hear something as beautifully close to the ISB as this. Its in the same place and wonderful.

Takes me back :)

I heard this song on Paul Morley's BBC radio documentary about 'freak folk' and was immediately fascinated. Folk can be so heavy and serious, but this is as light as a butterfly and just as beautiful. Everyone with an acoustic bent take note of the the stranglely inspirational Doctor.

[bramblechops]

Anyone enlighten me please as to the name of a compilation album they were on in the early 70's i remember it included Blodwyn pig, spooky tooth , quintessence etc ?

[tackyjasper]

@bramblechops I believe it was called "Nice enough to Eat"

[enterprise1954]

@bramblechops Nice Enough To Eat on the Island label - there's a link somewhere on YouTube to all the tracks as a compilation.

Very late 60s and hippie. I first encountered it on an Island records sampler called, 'Nice enough to Eat,' spelt out on the cover with biscuits. It harks back to a gentler time of endless summers and parties and no material concerns.

[curtisrunstedler]

Such a strange but absolutely timeless and beautiful song. Your upload is greatly appreciated!!

[ytusername26]

@curtisrunstedler I'm glad you enjoyed the song! Thanks for the comment...Peace!

[LowStackTom]

@ytusername26 Thanx for upload and translation, Gregg! And as ´The Dude´ might say: "jocatale pissed on Dr. Strangely´s carpet!" ;-)

[GiftDWF]

@ytusername26 Thank you for posting this.. I love this song. it's just lovely:)

[ytusername26]

@GiftDWF No trouble at all! You have excellent taste, thank you for the comment.

Peace!

[LowStackTom]

@ytusername26 could u please translate the conversation between u and jocatale ? he don´t like the band, right?

[ytusername26]

@LowStackTom Yeah...that person took full advantage of me being a liberal and believing that everyone is entitled to their own thoughts. He's wrong in his thoughts, but they are his, so he can have them and post them. I'm glad you asked what he said, maybe by posting the translation people will stand up in defense for this wonderful and very talented band. Peace!

[ytusername26]

@LowStackTom Here's what he said...

I was born in 1943 the period hippie, I know well. I find this song very ugly and extraordinarily AMATEUR. The singer has a voice atrocious and completely, it seems a kid 20.La ascent of the votes in screaming with this pace of spoons excruciating is downright unbearable.The "balance" is bad, the flute very, very amateur also. I am amazed that a product as pressure has been able exit on the market!

[ytusername26]

@LowStackTom Here's what I said...

In the immortal words of The Dude... "Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man." Peace!

(If you're not familiar with 'The Dude' he's a character that Jeff Bridges portrays in "The Big Lebowski")

[stepenwolf7]

Excellent,  thank you for posting

[ytusername26]

@stepenwolf7 Excellent sums it up rather well! You're welcome, glad you enjoy them...

[jocatale]

Je suis né en 1943, la période hippie, je connais bien.

Je trouve cette chanson très laide et formidablement AMATEUR. Le chanteur a une voix atroce et châtrée, on dirait un gosse boutonneux.La montée des voix en hurlements avec ce rythme de cuillères lancinant est carrément insupportable.La "balance" est mauvaise, la flute très, très amateur aussi.

Je suis sidéré qu'un produit aussi inabouti ait pu sortir sur le marché!

[ytusername26]

@jocatale Dans les paroles immortelles de "la Dude»...«Ouais, eh bien, vous le savez, c'est juste, comme, votre avis, l'homme». La paix!
