Another bit of trivia
Jimmy Page was a fan - apparently early Zeppelin gigs used to include a cover of, or snippets of, Fresh Garbage, off the aforementioned debut album.

Loads of people rate them.
EDIT but then loads of people regard Robin Trower's 'Bridge of Sighs' as a Hendrix-influenced masterpiece and I think it's extremely mediocre, if not 'fucking shit'.

A Small Faces reference?
Yeah, just had to look that one up. Someone needs to point out to certain music critics that stealing a few licks from Voodoo Chile does not make a song a Hendrix-influenced masterpiece, it makes it a song with ideas stolen from Hendrix. A fairly uninspiring song at that.

He was in Procul Harum wasn't he?
Procul 'really fucking shit' Harum, as they're known in Chateau Boyce. 'A Salty Dog' is almost passable as an LP but really, PH were toss.

That's probably where I recognise the name from
Ties in with the point below about what you appreciate when you're younger - I can remember loving 'White Shade of Pale' when I was about 14 and found it among my mother's old 45s. Don't think I'd waste another three minutes of my life on it these days...

*hangs head in shame*
It is the only Spirit track I know (not for that reason). It always used to confuse me when the Pink song came on the radio.

I could easily afford to lose 20 cool points.
