Vashti Bunyan: Some Things Just Stick In You Mind: Singles and Demos 1964-1967
Following the amazing success story of Vashti Bunyan’s recent re-emerging as an artist after an exile of over 30 years come the release of SOME THINGS JUST STICK IN YOUR MIND, a comprehensive collection of early recordings from the period prior to her classic 1970 JUST ANOTHER DIAMOND DAY album. Titled after the (Jagger/Richards-penned) debut single which opens the double album, SOME THINGS attempts to both draw a line under the past and also to set the record straight regarding the disparity between how Bunyan viewed (and still views) herself and the way the public views her as an artist. While she is widely regarded as a folk singer – a tag with which she fundamentally disagrees – these recordings instead reveal Bunyan as a pop singer, however fragile and unique.
