Dipping My Brain In Joy

Until recently you could buy a CD calle Recycled Vinyl Blues on Amazon, which contains Neil Innes' first solo album plus a few extra tracks. Of course, I kept putting off buying it and when I went there the other day I found that it's not available any more - apart from a 2nd hand copy at sixty-five quid or so.

So it was out with the deck again and rip rip rip.

This is Neil Innes' first solo album, and it predates the Rutland one by a year or so. It's got its fair share of comedy tracks - and the first recorded outing of the Franglias 'L'amour Perdu' - but also some touching & beautiful stuff as well such as the lovely 'Song For Yvonne' (in fact, the first 5 tracks on side two - that's 6-10 here)

Wizzo lead guitar, of course, by the sadly missed Ollie Halsall.
