Come on guys, simmer down. At least I don't hide behind a nom de plume. But whilst we are here, have you seen my latest movie: "Dickie Does Dusseldorf"?

Sounds like Cockney rhyming slang:

Not with anyone, you sweet talking person, but come on. She replied.

It's better than I thought it would be.

It is damn good!

Who knows this album?

And did Jack Lancaster produce something similar, (Percy Jones played bass?)?

Jack Lancaster produced "Marscape", which I mentioned in a thread on concept albums. the whole original Brand X appear on it, as they do on "Peter and the Wolf"

I'd heard about this album before because of the Viv Stanshall link (I'm a bit of a Viv fanatic), but I've not looked in to getting hold of it as of yet. I get the feeling that with so many stars and talented people it's bound to be extremely disappointing.

it's anything but disappointing, TP. you will love it. unfortunately it is a real rarity, we only have it on vinyl

Anyone: Where can I buy Peter and the Wolf/Various Artists (including Chris Spedding)?

You'll have to try the specialists - it's out of print. If it's just the music you're after then it's not so difficult to come across the mp3s.

Cracking album, by the way.

There were a number of these projects in the 70's,
i.e. get members of different bands together for a
concept album. And was there a Butterfly's Ball?

The Butterfly's Ball was a load of old Purple people
knocked together by Roger Glover, it's pretty weak. I
picked it up as part of a double vinyl compilation with
a subsequent similar thing called 'The Wizard's
Covention' which is equally poor. The songwriting
unfortunately is just naff.

The only one of these celeb get together things that
was ever any good was War of the Worlds.
Mr Heath does refer to that get-together that shall not
be named with Peter Frampton etc - I still have a soft
spot for Aerosmith's version of 'Come Together'
which I think was on that record.

Not being beside the old vinyl vault at the moment
can't offer any personnel details from Butterfly's Ball
of Wizard's Convention but I think the awful David
Coverdale is there somewhere.... best avoided.

Well, the rythm section (drums + bass) definitely sounds like Brand X. I have the rock version, and the narrator is a French man. Many keyboards sound like Brand X too. The guitar sound almost country sometimes: not bad. There are many wah wah effects on most of the guitar solos. Grapelli's violin makes the sound retro. There songs are surprisingly short. Mostly 1 narration per track. Let us say it is a more rock version of Brand X of the mid 70's. Brian Eno is like absent?!?
