Vashti Bunyan: 'Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind' (Singles & Demos 1964 to 1967) (Fatcat) A limited two CD set and double LP (we'll revert to the single CD edition when it's gone) that covers her early period of released and unreleased singles, restored acetate demos, archive tracks and the opener and title track supplied by Jagger-Richards courtesy of Andrew Loog Oldham. What's striking about these songs is the softness and near fragility of her voice, the prime sixties sounding backing with swooping strings and gently caressed guitar strumming and subtle backbeats. The obvious comparisons are Sandie Shaw or a British sounding Francois Hardy. I'd say she's quite unique in her delivery it's the sound that evokes her time. If any of you have witnessed her live recently you maybe familiar with the heartfelt rendition of 'I'd Like To Walk Around In Your Mind', a standout track for me. At times very naive sounding, but in an honest, almost heartbreaking way. Somewhere between the folk music of its time and the emerging pop scene.
What the label says:
The next chapter in Vashti’s incredible story centres around rare and previously unheard material from 1964-1967, before the fabled, much-revered ‘Just Another Diamond Day’
This 2CD / double vinyl album features the Jagger / Richards penned ‘Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind’, and Vashti Bunyan’s two other rare Decca singles, alongside previously unheard acetates, unreleased singles and other rarities. The second disc is of Vashti’s first ever recording session – discovered only days before the album as it stood was about to be mastered.
‘Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind’ nevertheless stands up as a strong release next to ‘Just Another Diamond Day’ and unearths another beautifully fragile chapter in Vashti’s history. Vashti is the subject of a feature length documentary currently being made by Kieran Evans (who co-directed St. Etienne’s acclaimed ‘Finisterre’), with a director’s cut and previews expected by the end of 2007. This will also form part of the album’s campaign.
