    Bummer.
    Man, the Twin Peaks album is burnt into memory. Which is quite amazing considering how many brain cells I fried listening to it back in the 70's!
    I only saw Mountain live once. I think I still have a ticket stub from the show somewhere.

    RIP Leslie, loved his work back in the day and have pretty much his entire catalogue.

    Mississippi Queen was one of his that we covered that was massively popular with the punters

    Not paid much attention to this one. Does have a 'Spinal Tap' kind of quality to it so 'influential'.

    cheers, Mark.
