The Intro and the Outro by The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band

The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band (also known as The Bonzo Dog Band or "The Bonzos”) was created by a group of
British art-school students in the 1960s.



Combining elements of music hall, trad jazz and psychedelic pop with surreal humour and avant-garde art,
the Bonzos came to public attention through a 1968 ITV comedy show, Do Not Adjust Your Set.

This band was new to me but they were a good prog-rock outfit that just made two albums on the Vertigo label.

These original albums are in the three-figure mark as they are so rare.

Both appeared on a BGO CD in 2009. I found this double CD  Saturday in Folkestone in a chazzer for a quid!! Thank you Cancer Research shop.

This is their second album -

Cressida - Asylum (Full Album)

Talking of CDs from my collection that has gathered dust and needs listening to again are two by Radiohead. The wonderful "In Rainbows" and the experimental brilliant "Kid A".
So I listened to these again this evening to find that they still thrill and refresh me. Also, another great album I reconnected with is King Crimson's "Islands".

The CD version I have of Islands is an HDCD reissue from 2004. In 2009 Wire magazine did a Primer on the discography of King Crimson. There is more of a classical and jazz lilt to this album especially the title track.

King Crimson - Islands



The album cover is also great.

Classic prog rock from a less well-known band.

Renaissance - Kings and Queens (1970)



Renaissance was originally formed in 1969 by ex-Yardbirds vocalist Keith Relf and drummer Jim McCarty who wanted to explore new sounds blending elements of rock, folk, and classical music. Relf assumed the role of guitarist, and they were joined by bassist Louis Cennamo, keyboardist John Hawken, and vocalist Jane Relf. This lineup recorded the first self-titled album and most of the second album, Illusion (1971). A rapid series of personnel changes followed. Guitarist and composer Michael Dunford first appeared on Illusion. Before his departure from the band, Hawken recruited new vocalist Annie Haslam. By 1972, when the Renaissance recorded their third album, Prologue, none of the original members remained though McCarty still wrote music for the band.

By 1973 the lineup had stabilized with Haslam, Dunford, keyboardist John Tout, bassist and vocalist Jon Camp, and drummer Terry Sullivan. This lineup produced a string of relatively successful albums over the remainder of the decade. They had one Top 10 single in the U.K., "Northern Lights", from the album A Song For All Seasons (1978).

Renaissance - Northern Lights (1978)



Renaissance with their biggest ever hit single "Northern Lights" performing here on Top Of The Pops. The song made number 10 in the UK charts in July 1978. Anyone remember their other song from around that time called "Back Home Once Again" which was the theme tune of a children's television series called "The Paper Lads"?

Renaissance - Touching Once (Is So Hard to Keep)




Enjoy.
