I have a new guy who has been seconded to my team. He is an ICT engineer. Away from work, he is a registered Apple repairer and he has had a couple of famous customers; Howard Jones and Thomas Dolby and has repaired some of their computer gear. I've sorted some work issues for him since he came to the team and he gave me this today as a gift when he found out I collected records. A signed promo only 12" vinyl copy of Europa and the Pirate Twins by Thomas Dolby. Thanks Keith !

I was watching TV and the new Citreon ad came on with a soundtrack and a female vocal a bit reminiscent of Florence Welch. A Shazam later and it turns out to be White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane with a vocal by Grace Slick. I found this wonderful video on line made by a guy to pass an exam. The lyrics are inspired by Alice in Wonderland so the video uses footage from the Disney film as the visuals behind the song. A brilliant example of the video editors art. Enjoy both song and film. Dedicated to anyone over 48.

Here's another version, the 'official' video ( from 1966 - right).
Some nice nostalgic footage though and confirming that the track comes from the album 'Surrealistic Pillow'
Groovy man.
Follow the white rabbit and let's see how deep this rabbit hole goes but don't eat the mushrooms !
I wonder what Mistress Alison would do with this track as a cover?

This rather extreme version is from the film Sucker Punch. As the wording say's; as it was meant to be.

Also, just taken delivery of a nice, shiny Led Zeppelin IV/ 4 Sticks/4 Symbols call it what you will. I haven't even unwrapped it out of its plastic yet ! !
That's Led Zep I, II, III & IV in the collection all as heavyweight 180 gram reissues. You in for this one Carpy?
