The station has six Pentangle records, and I have a seventh on tape. All are on Reprise Records, a Division of Warner Brothers Record Inc., 488 Madison Ave., New York, NY, or 4000 Warner Blvd., Burbank, CA. "The Pentangle" (no date) RS 6315 "Sweet Child" (live two record set) (1968) 2RS 6334 "Cruel Sister" (1970) RS 6430 "Reflection" (1971) RS 6463 "Solomon's Seal" (1972) RS 2100 "Basket of Light" (no date) RS 6372 "Pentangling" -- their "best of/greatest hits" album. I taped a friend's record, so no further info on this. If you like Pentangle you'll like John Renbourne. KRRC has three of his albums: "The Lady and The Unicorn" (1970) RS 6407 (Reprise Records) "Faro Annie" (1972) MS 2082 (Reprise Records) "A Maid in Bedlam" (1977) 79004 (Shanachie Records, 1375 Crosby Ave., Bronx, NY 10461 I can't say which albums are better -- I've only taped two of the above: "Pentangling" and "The Lady and The Unicorn". I enjoy both very much. I intend to tape the rest when I have the time. Which brings me to a good question: (Dave once again commits net.suicide) What do you folks think of pirates (unauthorized recording of music)? I regularly bring my tape deck to the radio station to tape records. I justify this form of robbery this way: 1) I go out and buy the records that I like (the tapes never sound quite as good as the records) 2) I would never have heard of most of the records I buy if the record companies hadn't sent them to us (free of charge, by the way) Still, I tape several times more records than I buy. I won't spend ten dollars on a record that I only like one or two songs on, and I won't buy an album from a musician that I haven't heard (I'm not rich enough to drop ten bucks on a chance). Yes, I could listen to "The Thistle&Shamrock" and other radio broadcasts, but I'm never home when they're broadcast. I figure that if one record is taped five times, and two of those tapes cause someone to buy a record from the record company, then the pirates have sold two records. The record companies, however, count that as a loss of three (or five) record sales. -- He still remembered hearing Andy Warhol say, "No, the best was when this guy bit off this guy's nose. That was the best sex." And William Burrough's answer: "I heard about that." -- "Wasn't that the best sex, Bill?" -- "Ah, yes, I imagine so." -- "The best."
