On A Saturday - Keith West
(1968, Parlophone 45)
(1968, Parlophone 45)
Perhaps best known for Excerpt from a Teenage Opera (aka Grocer Jack), Keith West was quite the songsmith in the late 60's. He begun his musical journey in a band called the In Crowd before joining the acclaimed psychedelic group Tomorrow alongside Steve Howe of Yes. I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of Tomorrow, but their remastered album "Tomorrow" features a selection of Keith's tunes which it is worth the buying just for those! Eagle eyed viewers (or geeks like myself) will also have spotted this band in the Pie Shop scene in "Smashing Time". A brilliant best of album "Excerpts from Groups & Sessions" is also available.

Perfect song for saturday..makes me wish i was strolling home the mornin' after a fab night out in a switched on club circa '68..maybe stopping off in Biba along the way to pick up a new pair of purple suede Knee high boots ; ) x
don't make album cover like that any more......shame!!
I like this a lot. This music makes me want to be in England in the 60's so bad!
I must confess to having not heard this before, but it is perfect xx

A favorite of mine too, for any day of the week. Ron Wood plays bass and Aynsley Dunbar drums on this one!
