I had The Rock Machine Turns You On which was a CBS sampler. The best sampler ever imo. It is still available on Vinyl but although it was issued on CD I cannot find it for sale anywhere. Nearly everything seems to be available these days one way or the other but not this one it seems.

If anyone has a cd they’d like to sell please pm me :smile:

Track list was

"I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" - Bob Dylan - from the LP John Wesley Harding
"Can't Be So Bad" - Moby Grape - from the LP Wow
"Fresh Garbage" - Spirit - from the LP Spirit
"I Won't Leave My Wooden Wife For You, Sugar" - The United States of America - from the LP The United States of America
"Time of the Season" - The Zombies – from the LP Odessey and Oracle
"Turn on a Friend" – The Peanut Butter Conspiracy – from the LP The Great Conspiracy
"Sisters of Mercy" – Leonard Cohen – from the LP The Songs of Leonard Cohen
Side 2
Edit
"My Days Are Numbered" – Blood, Sweat and Tears – from the LP Child Is Father to the Man
"Dolphins Smile" – The Byrds – from the LP The Notorious Byrd Brothers
"Scarborough Fair / Canticle" – Simon and Garfunkel – from the LP Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
"Statesboro Blues" – Taj Mahal – from the LP Taj Mahal
"Killing Floor" – The Electric Flag – from the LP A Long Time Comin'
"Nobody’s Got Any Money In The Summer" – Roy Harper – from the LP Come Out Fighting Ghengis Smith

All of a sudden racism, sexism, xenophobia, Derek Hatton, politics, politics and more politics doesn't seem so bad.

Someone has made a Spotify playlist of that album...not exactly a CD but wasn't sure if it was a suitable substitute!

Thanks, I don’t have a spotify account though. Is it possible to download playlists to a cd from there?

You should keep off threads that don’t interest you, like I do on the cycling, running and cricket ones :wink:

Fraid not, though it is free to sign up for an account and you can then download the app to your phone (assuming you have a supported device) and listen from there.

A pedant writes - that was just Mike Rutherford I think. I would have had a copy back in the '80s if I had not foolishly told the person offering me a free copy who Mike Rutherford was.

Anyway, 'De La Soul Is Dead' - De La Soul, no longer available due to the samples issues a lot of stuff from the era suffers from, got an MP3 of it from De La Souls official website a while back but this has now vanished.

Not quite what you're asking, but for years I thought I had lost the 2manydjs As Heard On Radio Soulwax Pt2 album, hadn't been able to fine it anywhere online, I presume for the same copyright reasons [MENTION=13288]brakespear[/MENTION] mentions. I found it the other day buried in the depths of my computer. Happy days.

Melanie - Born to Be; it had a track on it called Bo Bo's Party which doesn't seem to get included on any Melanie compilations.

The Electric Prunes - Mass in F Minor; actually it was a bit crap, but I'd kinda like to hear it again!

The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour album (not the two EP set as issued in the UK); I had a USA mono version;

The Beatles - The White Album, first edition, numbered (I had no. 78).............

I think I might own a vinyl copy, but what you want is the magic of Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Best-Of-The-Rock-Machine-Turns-You-On/master/137095. The vinyl version is much cheaper than the CD.

A bootleg of the Ziggy Stardust "retirement" gig at, I think, Hammersmith Odeon.

"Not only is this show the last of the tour, it is the last show we will ever do"

Stunned silence. Young girl screams "No David".

Still brings a tear to the eye.
