Who bought these records? Noel Fielding and Julian Barrett perhaps - one of the episodes of the Mighty Boosh is a priceless pastiche of this stuff.<BR/><BR/>The review of Love Devotion Surrender by Robert Christgau made me giggle:<BR/><BR/>"On the back cover is a photograph of three men. Two of them are dressed in white and have their hands folded--one grinning like Alfred E. Neuman, the other looking like he's about to have a Supreme Court case named after him: solemn, his wrists ready for the cuffs. In between, a man in an orange ski jacket and red pants with one white sock seems to have caught his tongue on his lower lip. He looks like the yoga coach at a fashionable lunatic asylum. Guess which one is Sri Chinmoy. B-"paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14867697107799151822noreply@blogger.com
