bunyanv.-some%20things.jpgAt the time of these recordings, cult folk icon Vashti Bunyan was just another pop hopeful in London trying to break into the industry as a girl group singer. Featuring production by Andrew Loog Oldham, as well as a title track written by Jagger and Richards, these sessions never really bore any fruit. Cue the legend: Bunyan quit the scene in frustration, a reclusive experience that eventually led to the writing of her revered Just Another Diamond Day album. This disc shows that she probably deserved better than she got from these tunes—even if fans of Diamond Day are kinda glad it didn't work out for her.
