White Bicycles
Joe Boyd, "discoverer" and producer of the
Incredible String Band has written a book about his music experiences during the
1960s. Alongside the String Band, he talks about Nick Drake, Fairport
Convention, Pink Floyd and many others. This is well-worth a read.
A companion to the book is a CD, also called
White Bicycles.

The Circle is Unbroken
An oddity but what appears to be an "official"
release by virtue of its issue on Castle is The Circle is Unbroken. This
is a 2-disc set that contains the previously issued Chelsea Sessions demo
tapes that later became part of the 5000 Spirits and Wee Tam
albums alongside the rarer First Girl I Loved live in Canada CD.
