5 out of 5 stars memories are new.......2002-05-20

I first heard Supersister on John Peel's programme when he played " she was naked " from " to the highest bidder ". in an unprecented move he had to play the track again before the end of the show as so many people phoned in asking to hear the track again. A friend of mine was visiting Holland so I asked him to buy me any new music by Supersister and he returned with " Iskander " and " Spiral staircase ". The former contains some magnificent sax playing by Charlie Mariano who brings a jazz element to the group, although they still have the freshness of a young prog-rock group. It's probably the only album in existence which is a tribute to Alexander the Great. If there are others please let me know. " Spiral staircase " on the other hand is totally bizarre.It was released at about the same time as " dark side of the moon " and inhabits the same kind of dream world.often though the drums come to the top of the mix, bagpipes appear from nowhere and there's an unsettling section where it sounds as if a noisy restaurant canteen has taken over the music.don't think either of these records were ever released in the uk.more's the pity as they are both unique and full of quirky, unsettling themes which still engage 30years later.

5 out of 5 stars Fascinante!.......2001-03-06

Estos dos CD del supergrupo Holandés,representan las dos últimas realizaciones de mayor elaboración, conjuntándo la creatividad y vanguardia característica de sus discos anteriores,música de rock progresivo con sorprendentes ejecuciones en los teclados,y vocalizaciones majistralmente realizadas.Sin duda un Album de colección que bien vale la pena conseguir para deleitarse en todo momento.

      4 out of 5 stars It's great to hear McTell at the beginning of his career........1999-05-09

      This is a recent compilation of songs from McTell's first three albums, released from 1967 through 1969. I first learned about McTell with his 1971 release, You Well-Meaning Brought Me Here, so the existence of these earlier albums was a surprise to me. But it's great to hear McTell in this early stage of development. This CD contains the original recording of Streets of London. With McTell picking away for all he's worth, this version is much starker than the later "hit" version most listeners are familiar with. Many of the other tracks --Terminus, Nanna's Song, Willoughby's Farm, Factory Girl and Kew Gardens to name just a few -- are stunningly beautiful. McTell's early dedication to acoustic (and even jug band) blues is apparant in several of the tracks. It's fun to try to listen to this CD with late '60's ears, and at least one song (Granny Takes a Trip) is incomprehensible any other way. The liner notes are informative and show the care with which the tracks were selected. The notes are helpful to anyone trying to fill gaps in their McTell collections. Just two caveats: First, there's a lot of duplication between this CD and the Best of Ralph McTell/ Streets of London CD which was originally released in 1968 or 1969 (of the two, I prefer this one). Second, although this is where Ralph began, I would not recommend this as the starting point for new McTell listeners.
