Instagram post 2226353044980166804_8004421595 Jethro Tull : Stand Up. 1969. This is one of the first Tull Albums I was exposed to, along with Benefit. My friends from across the road, the Mazenko’s, were big Tull fans. Jethro Tull always get tarred with the prog rock brush but to my way of thinking the early albums have more of a psychedelic blues rock sound. More akin to the likes of Beefheart. I think later on they did explore the progressive rock idea with Thick As A Brick and Passion Play. #jethrotull #iananderson #classicrock #progresiverock #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #spacejunkradio
Instagram post 2223262167034479186_8004421595 Love : 7 and 7 is. 1966. Another of my Jukebox classics. This starts off with a frantic garage band thrash. Then strips back to a half speed bluesy fade out. I love it. #lovetheband #arthurlee #1966 #psychedelicrock #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #spacejunkradio
Instagram post 2221332693216732307_8004421595 Those Naughty Lumps : Iggy Pop’s Jacket. 1979. Slightly twee a bit wacky and definitely art school. This was the second release on Bill Drummond and Dave Balf’s Zoo records label. Zoo Records fun Fact-Bill Drummond played the guitar solo on this record. Zoo’s first release was from Liverpool legends ‘Big in Japan’. Then came ‘the Teardrop Explodes’. We came next...Echo and the Bunnymen, cage 004 Pictures on my Wall.. #zoorecords #billdrummond #klf #postpunk #naughtylumps #punkrock #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #classicrock #spacejunkradio
Instagram post 2217489353568326109_8004421595 Led Zeppelin : Immigrant Song. 1970. This beauty usually resides in my jukebox.. One of my all time favourite Led Zeppelin songs. Mr. Plant wailing in the background like a demented banshee...brilliant. It’s crazy but I’ve heard tell that some people don’t like Led Zeppelin. I love them, double neck guitars and dragon embroidery flairs and all. They are the masters. #ledzeppelin #classicrock #jimmypage #robertplant #johnpauljones #johnbonham #heavyrock #heavyrockmusic #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #spacejunkradio
Instagram post 2215444857255070719_8004421595 The Steve Miller Band : Sailor. 1968. Beautiful record way before the massive hit ‘The Joker’. #stevemillerband #classicrock #bluesrock #psychedelicrock #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #spacejunkradio
Instagram post 2214027832276098693_8004421595 The Rolling Stones : Beggars Banquet. 1968. This is the mono version. Including the epic Sympathy For The Devil. Inspired by Mikhail Bulgakov’s satirical novel ‘The Master And Margarita’. The Devil appears in Stalinist era Moscow, posing as a professor / black magician. Accompanied by a few minions, including a man sized black cat, walking around on hind legs. They proceed to wreak havoc around the city, as Satanic visitations often do. It’s a great read and it seems Jagger got inspired to document it in a song. The rest of the album is also great. One of my other faves is Parachute Woman, all in all a classic! #rollingstones #beggarsbanquet #masterandmargarita #classicrock #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #spacejunkradio
Instagram post 2210975159901726150_8004421595 Pink Floyd : Meddle 1971. This Is my favourite post Syd Floyd Album. I have a few copies, when opening up the cover to take the photos 3 drawings fell out. I had never took this particular copy out of the plastic sleeve till just now (see pic 5). Maybe the person that drew them is still around? As I have said before I love it when remnants of old owners of the records are left behind. #pinkfloyd #psychedelicmusic #classicrock #progressiverock #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #spacejunkradio
Instagram post 2210280150843902084_8004421595 The Roxy WC 2 (Jan- Apr 77) : Various Artists. 1977. Early compilation of Punk bands including my faves the Buzzcocks, X - Ray Spex and Wire. Punk Rock Will fun fact - I made my own X - Ray Spex shirt! using stencils and black ink. I stencilled the letter X all the way round the shirt so it became the X of the word Spex. #polystyrene #roxyclublondon #wiretheband #buzzcocks #punk #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #spacejunkradio
Instagram post 2209549503405783414_8004421595 Short Circuit Live At The Electric Circus : Various Artists: 1978. Recorded in 77. Features an early Warsaw / Joy Division track (At A Later Date) recorded while they were still called Warsaw, but by the time this 10 inch EP came out in 78 they had become Joy Division and that’s who it’s credited to on the cover. #johncooperclarke #joydivision #thefall #buzzcocks #thedrones #steelpulse #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #spacejunkradio #punk
Instagram post 2208047564138656511_8004421595 Bedazzled Soundtrack : Dudley Moore. 1967. Great soundtrack Dudley Moore tinkling the ivories. Peter Cook steals the show with the track Bedazzled. #petercook #dudleymoore #raquelwelch #eleanorbron #moviesoundtrack #bedazzledmovie #jazz #stanleydonan #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #spacejunkradio
Instagram post 2207352444443609043_8004421595 Nico: Chelsea Girl. 1971. I have quite a few Nico albums, I would say this is the most accessible of the Bunch. It still exudes a beautiful lonely mystery that only Nico can provide. 80’s fun fact - Our old Zoo records stable mates The Delta 5’s guitarist ‘Alan Riggs (I think he was playing in Nico’s band at the time) introduced me to Nico, at a Tom Verlaine gig, at the Virgin Venue in London June 1982. She never said anything just looked my way for a second and then slumped back into the cotton wool cosy sofa she was sprawled in. #nico #thevelvetundergroundandnico #thevelvetunderground #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #spacejunkradio #classicrock
Instagram post 2206550537701441362_8004421595 The Residents : Santa Dog 78. 1978. I awoke one crisp Thursday morning (my day off work) back in 78 to the sound of the post man knocking on my Dads front door. It must have been pretty early 8 am or so. The postie handed me a package. I could not believe the contents. The Residents has sent out a free single, as a sort of Christmas card to fans that had bought records off them in the past. But that’s exactly what had just happened. God bless The Residents, Ralph Records and The Cryptic Corporation. #theresidents #experimentalmusic #avantgardemusic #sanfrancisco #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #punk #newwave #spacejunkradio #ralphrecords
Instagram post 2206028469545389231_8004421595 King Crimson : In The Wake Of Poseidon. 1970. I’m a bit of a late comer to King Crimson, been digging them for only about about 35 years or so. I have been a follower of Robert Fripp via his solo work and work with Eno and Greg Lake from the ELP days, early 70’s. I saw Greg. Lake in ELP at the Liverpool Empire. When Emerson was sticking his Hammond with daggers and chucking it about a bit. Great to be music fan back in the 70’s. I Hope you all get lots of vinyl off Santa. #kingcrimson #robertfripp #elp #greglake #progressiverock #brianeno #liverpoolempire #classicrock #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #spacejunkradio
Instagram post 2205414970947301236_8004421595 The Temptations :Psychedelic Shack. 1970. Classic funky soul psychedelia. I suggest you invest. #thetemptations #motown #tamlamotown #soul #classicrecords #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #spacejunkradio
Instagram post 2203852024320574245_8004421595 The Doors : Live At The Konserthuset Stockholm sept 20th 1968 Radio Broadcast. This just arrived, an early Christmas Present to myself.

Instagram post 2201604572448266990_8004421595 Leonard Nimoy. Mr Spock Music From Outer Space. 1967. Not only the best year for psychedelic music also the best year for weird lounge / poetry from Spock. Twinkle twinkle little earth, how I wonder what you’re worth. #startrek #mrspock #leonardnimoy #loungemusic #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #spacejunkradio #trekkie
Instagram post 2199451766807187535_8004421595 Generation X : Your Generation. Gen X were a big favourite down at Eric’s club in 77. This was their first single. I love the revolutionary Soviet Era Suprematism / Constructivism inspired art of this sleeve. EATB fun Fact - In 77 Les’s Mum helped him bleach his hair. He had it very punky and not a million miles away from Idol’s hair back then. It was brilliant and looked great on him. Mac’s mum called him a Greek God...I can only agree. #generationxband #billyidol #punkrock #ericsliverpool #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #classicrock #sovietart #spacejunkradio
Instagram post 2198091081783419601_8004421595 The Residents : Fingerprince 1976. This was the first Album of theirs I bought, then I began buying all the others via their mail order catalogue (Buy Or Die). EATB Fun fact- On a Bunnymen trip to San Francisco early 80s me and Jake Brockman decided to call round at 444 Grove Street - the Residents HQ. They welcomed us in and showed us round the inner sanctum. While we were alone in a side office I managed to get an eyeball head on and Jake took a crafty snapshot. I’ve got it somewhere but can’t find it at the moment. They had an large industrial unit with an area for shooting Videos, a recording studio, art studio, workshops and lots of shelves of records for the mail orders. Very cool set up, a cottage industry. #theresidents #experimentalmusic #avantgardemusic #sanfrancisco #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #punk #newwave #spacejunkradio
Instagram post 2196426756698115818_8004421595 Riot On Sunset Strip : Soundtrack. 1967. Various Artists come to the freak out. Including The Standells and the Chocolate Watchband two of my favourite Psyche / Garage bands. EATB fun fact - For our covers set on the 1985 Scandinavian tour we learned to play The Chocolate Watchband’s version of ‘It’s All Over Now Baby Blue’ not from Mr Dylan. I can still remember trying to work out the little sparkly guitar riff in our old flat by Sefton Park Liverpool. EATB fun fact 2 - Our first LA shows were at the legendary Whisky A Go-Go on Sunset Strip. 6 sets! over 3 or 4 days in April 1981. I was honoured when the beautiful gentleman Ray Manzarek popped backstage to say hello. #riotonsunsetstrip #thechocolatewatchband #the #standells #sunsetblvd #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #spacejunkradio #psychedelicrock #whiskyagogo #thedoors #recordcollector
Instagram post 2195812200221095328_8004421595 Iron Butterfly : In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. 1968. Very pleased to have found this in a vintage store in the Mohave Desert, for a mere 5 dollars! Title track is an epic trippy / prog freak-out. These flower power heads wheel out the Hammond Organ, along with thick fuzzy guitar leads plus a tolerable drum solo too (yippee!). More well known in the States than the UK. Oft used as a ‘psychedelic’ go to soundtrack for film makers. I think this would sound cosmic wafting through the foliage in the Garden Of Eden. #ironbutterfly #psychedelicrock #classicrock #echoandthebunnymen #willsergeant #spacejunkradio #
