Vashti Bunyan Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind on 2LP
Following the amazing success story of Vashti Bunyan’s recent re-emergence as an artist after an exile of over 30 years, comes the release of Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind, a comprehensive compilation of early recordings dating from the period prior to Vashti’s classic Just Another Diamond Day album which was originally released in 1970.
Titled after Vashti’s (Jagger/Richards-penned) debut single which opens the compilation, this double-album represents an attempt to both open out and draw a line under the past, and also to try to set the record straight about the disparity between how Vashti viewed (and still views) herself against the way she has been popularly perceived. Widely construed as a folk singer, a tag she fundamentally disagrees with, these recordings instead reveal Vashti as a pop singer, however fragile and unique.
A complete collection of Vashti’s existing early recordings, the album is divided across two LPS and features 25 tracks, mostly rescued from a number of old acetates and quarter-inch tapes Vashti’s brother John had found in his attic a few years ago.
