047 A Tramp Shining (Richard Harris) / Rewind (Johnny Rivers)
A tangled web of Webb here as both these albums include songs by legendary writer Jimmy. In 1968, Richard the actor & Johnny the rocker both turned to Webb to help redirect their careers towards ambitious orchestral sunshine-pop and soggy cakes left out in the rain.

046 Misty Mirage (Curt Boettcher) / Begin (The Millennium)
It seemed a cert that Curt would hit paydirt with his elaborate Californian chamber pop. He & his band The Millennium were given access to Columbia’s new 8 track recording facilities and begun making Begin, one of the most expensively made albums of the millennium up to that point. To say it didn’t recoup costs would be something of an understatement but it has gone on to become a cult favourite. On his tape, Robert Pollard paired it with an album of mostly unreleased material Curt & his pals recorded before and after The Millennium.

045 Boy Child: The Best of 1967–1970 (Scott Walker)
Robert Pollard made it easy on himself by just taping one album by Scott. It's a compilation of songs from the first 5 solo albums with lyrics covering diverse subjects such as Ingmar Bergman films, the loneliness of the long-serving sex worker, the 1968 Czechoslovakian uprising against the Soviet Union and fat men that belch a lot.

044 Harry / Nilsson Sings Newman (Harry Nilsson)
A touch more Schmilsson on the podcast as we examine his next 2 albums. And who would think this album pair would be well accepted everywhere? It’s quite amazing how fair people can be.

043 Pandemonium Shadow Show / Aerial Ballet (Harry Nilsson)
Before these albums, Harry Nilsson was doing hard day’s nightshifts at the bank as a computer operator. Then he became the man everybody’s talkin’ about with a little Help! from his friends John, Paul, George & Ringo who started dropping his name Here There and Everywhere.

042 The Further Adventures Of Charles Westover (Del Shannon) / Another Side Of Rick (Rick Nelson)
This tape pairs 2 stars from an earlier era struggling to find an audience in a market now overcrowded with beat groups dabbling in psychedelia. Join us to find out if the hippy kids were right to take a dim view of Rick’s other side and turn down the invitation to Runaway with Del on his further adventures.

041 Desertshore (Nico) / In The Court Of The Crimson King (King Crimson)
Your hosts the 21st century schizoid men invite you to meet them on the desert shore to hear what they make of Christa Paffgen’s difficult third album and the King Crimson record that may well be to blame for inventing prog rock. Do they have time for such Fripp-ery?
