Item description from seller

Original Original typed finished manuscript, foolscap paper, probably for a rock music press article by rock music writer Rick Sanders. 7 typed pages, recto only. About 2500+ words. Dated on first page in Rick Sanders hand 'April 6th 1970.' Evidently done just after their notorious multi-media gig at the Roundhouse in London, it starts 'Were you pleased with it? Yes, it was very good. At the end, you know, they were cheering.it's hard to tell.there were a couple of first-night things to be sorted out.' It appears to have been a 3 hour show with over 12 participants inc dancers, Rick asks 'Is pantomime still the word you would use for it?' Mike says 'we wanted total entertainment. visuals, sound.we kind of liked the idea of pantomime, you know the God Pan to mime.' There is in-depth discussion of this project. Also mention of life in rural Scotland, John Peel, the coming American tour, Julie Felix, a film that they had made for the BBC which hadn't been shown (possibly for Omnibus ) he notes they have about three albums worth of songs ready at this time. He also mentions the Electra label and admiration for 'Spirit in the Sky' and 'Morrison Hotel' (The Doors.) London phone number scribbled at margin and a small calculation and some typed corrections. Very good. Rick Sanders (1947- 2023 ) was a talented journalist, musician, singer-songwriter and painter, who made his name as a rock writer in the late 1960s and early 70s. He worked first on Intro magazine, Nova and then as assistant editor of Beat Instrumental, interviewing major figures including Pink Floyd, Jim Morrison, Fairport Convention and Leonard Cohen. He also went on to edit the London pages of Rolling Stone magazine. Rick was also lead guitarist and a founder member of the poetry-music band the Occasional Word, whose album, The Year of the Great Leap Sideways, was released on John Peel’s Dandelion Records in 1969. He played on other releases on the label including Bridget St John’s first albums, and Mike Hart Bleeds. Peel described him as the best 12-string bottleneck guitarist he had ever heard.
