Record Labels # 6 Dandelion Records

 

Hippies'r'us. John Peel backed record label. Lasted from '69 to '73. No hits but some decent records and starting points. Here are some singles.

 

1. Medicine Head

 

 

Quite Anthony & the Johnsons and New American folk.

 

2. Bill Oddie

 

 

Possibly not the best idea. But an oddity. Future Goodie and birdwatcher.

 

3. Gene Vincent

 

Vincent was a big Peel favourite. Link to a song he did with Eddie Cochran earlier on.

 

4. Principal Edward Magic Theatre

 

 

Fairly 'Hey Nonny No'

 

5. Siren

 

 

Featuring the quite wonderful Kevin Coyne! Unique amongst men.

 

5. Yamasukis

 

 

This has already been featured on the blog.

 

6. Beau - Creation

 

 

Hmm!

 

7. Tractor

 

 

Interesting how contemporary some of this sounds

 

Lots of other hippie joys and some great music here.
