If there's a Van Der Graaf Generator Inc., I'd like to ask them why "World Record" didn't receive a new stereo mix in time for their 2021 "Charisma Years" comprehensive 20-disc box...

"My Ding-a-Ling" is a #noveltySong written and recorded by #DaveBartholomew. It was covered by Chuck Berry in 1972 and became his only number-one #BillboardHot100 single in the #UnitedStates. Later that year, a longer version was included on the album #TheLondonChuckBerrySessions. Guitarist Onnie McIntyre and drummer #RobbieMcIntosh, who later formed the #AverageWhiteBand, played on the single, along with #NicPotter of #VanDerGraafGenerator on bass.

Mrs. RIS says that Peter Hammill’s voice makes her want to punch things, so I listen to Van der Graaf Generator while she’s out. #VanderGraafGenerator #PeterHammill #nowPlaying
Mrs. RIS is out with friends. She says that Peter Hammill’s voice makes her want to punch things, so I listen to their albums when she’s not here. #nowPlaying #nowPlayinginSecret #peterhammill #VanderGraafGenerator
#NowPlaying: #vanderGraafGenerator - The Quiet Zone / The Pleasure Dome
1977 German pressing.
My favourite #vdGG album, the addition of the violin and its ethereal feel combined with its relatively accessible songwriting make this an excellent listen. I especially love the violin solo on The Siren Song, that might be my favourite track. The album came with a booklet of lyrics made with a typewriter by a previous owner, how cool is that!
#NowPlaying: #VanderGraafGenerator - Pawn Hearts
1971(?) Dutch pressing.
You rarely find #vdGG #vinyl releases priced lower than 20 (maybe even 25) here so it was incredible luck that I found one in absolute pristine condition for 15 quid! As for the album, I don't really quite understand side 2 (A Plague etc.) yet, but Man-Erg is really good, especially when the song breaks down with saxes sounding like seagulls coming in. Proper chilling!
#NowPlaying: #VanderGraafGenerator - World Record
1976 UK pressing.
I venture into prog rock every now and then and I am particularly fond of #vdgg. This record has got some funkyness which I quite like. Unfortunate that the brilliant Meurglys III ends in a fade-out though... I got this for very cheap, normally a VdGG #vinyl would cost you €25, but this only cost me €9. I did have to make a Discogs page for it, though. Bonus: me posing with the record and making scans.
