Cheers all... ...!

Paul.

yeah..thanx for the info paul..
it says pedal..on the five din pin..so i know what thats for then..
i think i'm going to try through the headphone socket either through the comp or the amp...tapedeck, something might work fingers crossed
there was no manual.. leads..or pedals..i nipped back to the charity were i found it,just incase i missed something..no joy.
                                   i'm on a roll...
i was just glancing around while i was back in the shop and noticed a few records poking from a plastic carrier on the floor..
that's usualy the first thing i look for anyway...
so had a quick scout through the 20 or so albums and pulled this little gem from the chuff...

alarm bells ringing deep in the Subconscious..i looked for info on the back..it's narrated by richard baker the old news reader..
it also lists..
tonia bern cambell....vocalist
los iberos....spanish ensemble
colin beaton trio....dance trio
and black cat bones......pop group
rushed home and slapped it on the deck for a listen..and yes just as i thought..a mind blowing track from black cat bones
the qe2 song...bcb are a blues prog psych band, and have only ever released one album.
(barbed wire sandwich) not including this superb track..the album was released in late1969..this is from 69 the guitarist turns out to be paul kossoff great guitarist from the yet to be formed free..along with drummer Simon Kirke...
before that he was playing with bcb and also doing work with champion jack dupree.  paul kossoff and simon kirk had taken bcbones as far as they could and had left the band before the album was actually cut..
with what i can gather this album was given away free only to people who took a cruise on the ship...so is quite a rare item
the track in question can be found on a new comp entitled cherrystone's rocks..15 rare psych and progressive gems which came out earlier this year....hence the Subconscious link to this album 
being in the right place at the right time this is what makes collecting such a great thing...
ho! and the price of the album 50p 
now!!! where's the next charity shop around here

that's a fine looking geetar paul......cheers

yes i was aware of that doug. and a facinating story the whole bluebird thing..it's a real mixed bag that album,it's strange to hear richard baker's voice again for a start i wonder why they picked the black cat bones to do a track...the mind boggles
it doesn't fit with the rest of the album at all really..what other gems lay hidden,waiting to be discovered
