Leigh Mitchell… Wow! When I lived in the US I wrote & spoke with Carl Sagan on the phone, trying to organise a talk at Georgetown University in DC, he wasn’t available, sadly, but came across very down to earth (no pun intended!)
Barry French… Saw Rory Gallagher in concert at the Brighton Dome in the early 1970’s.
Totally amazing gig from one of the worlds finest blues guitarist.
Pete Fisher… my mate John Davis took this photo at Brighton Dome – could be the same concert…
Nastassja Kaschevsky… Wow! that’s a blast from the past!
Alan Esdaile… I was looking for the single track ‘Hastings’ but can’t find.
Nastassja Kaschevsky… think I had it on vinyl somewhere! He went on to act in Brookside for a while x
Pete Brazier… You know I do! I was his sound engineer and roadie! 
😂 Haven’t heard from him since he was on Brookside! Can anyone pass my best wishes to him? I got the record, and the one he did with Eddy Grant under the name of “The Javlinares”
Roy Penfold… I wondered if old Leon (rip) featured in the story and there he was. Having ‘assisted’ Leon with some tracks he recorded during the late ’90s he was certainly more ‘out there’ than his public persona portrayed!
Pete Brazier… The B side was good to “the boring thoughts of a frustrated Song writer!”
Julie Morris… Tony Blackburn played it – on his Radio 1 show – where do the years go?!
Mick Burt… Yep I knew him quite well !Long time ago

Chris Giles… I loved this LP ..one of the best, I thought of the Island samplers and have still got it
Dave Nattress… I remember this one well, a couple of friends had it. Stand out track for me – first time I heard it was “Oh I Wept” by Free (off Fire and Water). Already had Tons of Sobs and Free but got F & W on vinyl then and on musicassette for the Ford Anglia I had back then! Still got both as well as the first edition, remaster and special edition – and pretty much everything Free did. Free what a fabulous unit. Paul Kossoff (RIP) such unique guitar work. Actually the first time I heard many of these artists!
Martin Stoggell… The artwork you got on those big covers.
Pete Fisher… I had You Can All Join In and Nice Enough To Eat, but I don’t think I had this Island compilation – looks great…http://www.45worlds.com/vinyl/album/idp1
Chris Jolly… I still have this double album Pete… It’s great!
Alan Newman… I was 13 in 1970 when my big bro lent me this to say this what real music sounds like
Nick Shute… Thunderbuck Ram!!!…got this then went straight back to the shop and got Mad Shadows!!…these samplers were brilliant for introducing people to new releases cheaply…worked for all! Two other standout samplers that spring to mind…”el pea” and “fill your head with rock”
Jon McCallion… Still have it good album
Sam Rosewell… Think I might have Dad’s copy somewhere…
Chris Meachen… Still got this, nice enough to eat, and one called island people..
Richard Stack… Still have this album. Still sounds good.
Paul Huggett… I used to buy compilation albums then to get a bit of variety for not much money , Rock Machine etc and those Island ones Pete mentions, but missed that one! Some of them have been recreated as playlists on Spotify by the way, which as mine are long gone was good to discover.
