i. David Kuznets, "Not a technically brilliant pianist, but the feeling and musicality is just mind boggling"
ii. "One of the greatest guitarist’s greatest solos",says Geoff Laidlaw ...and two from Till Wolff, from the only Romanian prog band he knows!...
iii. "From their cult classic double album 'Cantafabule' - so even if they would not be from Romania this could be a real winner ... but listed since it's probably very unknown over here - and hard to belive that they were able to produce this LP under Ceaucesu !!"
iv. "From their (second) Lp Mugur di Fleuir - more (prog) folk than rock and certainly a different league to the sound above... with a bit Jethro Tull feeling and but excellent singers & playing"

i. GINHOUSE - TYNE GOD ii. JAN DUKES DE GREY - SORCERERS iiii. IVOR BIGGUN - READERS' WIVES
three from Geoff Laidlaw...
i. "Great band from Tyneside in the early 70s, a familiar sight supporting touring bands in Newcastle. Produced one fine album in 1971. Guitarist Geoff Sharkey went on to play with Brand X among others. This track ‘Tyne God’, influenced by a statue at Newcastle civic centre is quite original and very evocative of the era"
ii. "‘Sorcerers’ is from the 1969 album of the same name"
iii. .and Geoff ends things with surely the only way to finish this series of the obscure, unknown and unloved...
