Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind

This recording truly captures the essence of the 60's-- not merely because the lyrics are so of the time, but also because of the way the recording crackles and Vashti Bunyan's beautiful voice wavers. Much like when I saw the 2009 movie Adventureland and thought "this is my favorite movie from the 80's, only I never actually saw it in the 80's," this recording seems so familiar even though it is new to me. I expect to see a Wes Anderson movie with any number of her songs (Winter is Blue?) because they so completely evoke a time and place.

A beautiful collection of works from a very sad and pessimistic girl with one of the most enchantingly beautiful voices of all time

Very well pack Record Sounds great!!

Fantastic folk artist from the 60's. A rare gem I found after looking up music from The Patriot (Amazon Prime Original series).

The price of the CD is grand larceny. Bought this on ebay. Just wanted the Train song.

This is the best pressing of the album to buy, with the full length 17 track disc one.Other pressings only have 13 tracks on the same disc.

A brilliant record -- how most of these beguiling tracks were never released at the time is a mystery! I guess the right people just didn't take her work seriously—maybe it was just too subtle. Throughout, Vashti comes across as a sort of English Françoise Hardy. Some of the songs -- in particular the superb I'd Like to Walk Around in Your Mind and Winter Is Blue—have inventive, sensitive arrangements. One listen to them and you'll be hooked. Most of the tracks, however, are home demos that feature Vashti solo on guitar, charmingly introducing the title of each track, so that you really feel you're in the room. Quite different -- more straightforwardly melodic, more direct -- than her later folky output [which is also great in a different way], this is essential for anyone with affection for great 60s pop music.

This is a tune I've up to this point only know via the Stones own version which cropped up on the mid 70's "Metamorphosis" compilation. This version by Vashti Bunyan is wonderful in its own way - and for fans of her "Just Another Diamond Day" should seriously check this out. It's in same category as Nico's debut on Immmediate "I'm Not Saying" - not technically perfect by any means - but still with it's own intrinsic chart - and a great bit 60's pop as well. Not much more I can really add!

Great album wonderful demos

Ho scoperto Vashti Bunyan soltanto qualche mese fa grazie alla magnifica "Train song", e dopo solo un paio di giorni dalla scoperta mi sono convinto a comprare questa raccolta di alcune sue registrazioni inedite e singoli. Devo dire che non sono affatto rimasto deluso. Le sonorità dolci e malinconiche di ogni canzone sono perfette per chi ama questo genere di musica, e chi apprezzerà la cantante sicuramente non potrà fare a meno di chiedersi come mai non sia più conosciuta a livello internazionale. Grazie a questo disco, però, chiunque potrà scoprire ed ammirare il talento sottovalutato di Vashti. Acquisto più che consigliato. Unica pecca, alcune canzoni hanno un suono peggiore rispetto ad altre, ma credo sia più dovuto alle condizioni dei nastri dai quali le canzoni sono state prese più che dal disco in sé, e l'ascolto non viene comunque compromesso più tanto.
