ISLAND SAMPLER

VA - You Can All Join In [1969] + Nice Enough To Eat [1969] (2 x CDs)

You Can All Join In is a budget-priced sampler album from Island Records released in 1969. Priced at 14 shillings and 6 pence (£0.72), it reached no. 18 on the UK Albums Chart. The album is described at Allmusic.com as - one of those seamless compilations that simply cannot be improved upon. A dozen tracks highlight the best - and that is the best - of Island's recent and forthcoming output. 

Nice Enough to Eat is a budget priced sampler album released by Island Records in 1969. Continuing the policy set by its predecessor You Can All Join In, the album presented tracks from the latest albums by established artists including Free, Traffic, and Jethro Tull, and introduced tasters from newer signings to the label, notably Nick Drake and King Crimson. The inclusion of the Nick Drake track, "Time Has Told Me", has been credited with providing the first opportunity for many record buyers to hear Drake's music. It was priced as low as 14 shillings and 6 pence (£0.72), less than half of the standard album price at the time. The album is described at Allmusic.com as a "somewhat incoherent sampler of folk-rock, prog rock, and prog-tinged hard rock", but with a "stellar artist lineup". (Wikipedia)
