I continue to enjoy these:
GONG - Camembert Electrique
This startling and wholly original album was released in France in October 1971 on BYG Actuel (and was reissued in the UK three years later by Virgin Records).
Focus - Focus II (aka Moving Waves)
The second studio album from the Dutch prog/rock band, released in October 1971 on Imperial Records. (Focus will perform at The Beaverwood Club, in Chislehurst, this October).
Ash Ra Tempel - The eponymous debut studio album by Manuel Göttsching's trippy / prog 'Krautrock' band. Recorded in March 1971, it was released in June of that year on Ohr.
(I, too, cherish DB's Hunky Dory)2 -
Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. Not every track is brilliant, but the title track is immense.0
