Genre: Alternative pop/rock
Places I remember: HMV Oxford St, London
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Sure 'Nuff 'n Yes I Do (via a great great live clip from 1968)
Gear costume: Electricity
Active compensatory factors: This is where it all started for the Captain - his debut album and coincidentally, the only album to feature a young Ry Cooder in the Magic Band on guitar.
Its blues based approach and the relative sanity of the music make it a very accessible and pleasant listen.
It has certainly aged well over the intervening 50 plus years - smells fresh as a daisy!
Where do they all belong? I finally bought a CD copy of the album in England from HMV, although the tracks are very familiar thanks to various compilations of his early work.
