Quite a few of the songs on the Langley Music Schools Project record (I imagine) though it's too ghastly to listen to.

― Kim Tortoise, Friday, 30 May 2003 09:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Much of Brian Jones era Rolling Stones. Especially Ruby Tuesday, which I think is the Year Dot for Rock Recorder.

Good call on "Green Fingers", that's always been for me the only great track on the over-rated 'Kiss in the Dreamhouse'

― Fabrice (Fabfunk), Friday, 30 May 2003 12:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I know there's some jam where Roland Kirk shoved one of these bad boys up his nose, I just can't remember the title.

isn't half of Jethro Tull's career based around the recorder?

"Labour of Love." Frente!

― janni (janni), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull played a flute!

Gryphon, the folk-progressive group formed my a bunch of medieval music students might be more like it. Sample here (recorder at end):

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 30 May 2003 18:11 (twenty-two years ago)

i knew about the flute, Pashmina, but i could swear there were recorders involved, too.

although i'm probably wrong. damn my childhood! :(

― janni (janni), Friday, 30 May 2003 18:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, well perhaps yr right? I don't remember hearing anything except flute on my sister's jethro tull albums (she had them all, but i wasn't keen generally, though i do like "minstrel in the gallery") You may be right!

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 30 May 2003 18:18 (twenty-two years ago)

There are recorders on "Mother Goose" off Aqualung.

― Phil (phil), Friday, 30 May 2003 22:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I think maybe May Queen by Black Box Recorder does.

― Alex in Doncaster (Alex in Doncaster), Friday, 30 May 2003 22:08 (twenty-two years ago)

weren't also some other progsters, besides I'Anderson, occasionally rather recorder-friendly? - Gentle Giant? Focus?
and haven't a few M'Oldfield tracks been 'bit rich in recorders as well?

(or am i comp'flutely confusing matters?)

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Friday, 30 May 2003 22:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes - "Your Move" (first half of "I've Seen All Good People)

Gentle Giant and Mike Oldfield were big on recorders as well. I have an album by Bi Kyo Ran (a Japanese King Crimson clone) where there's a trio of recorders on one song.

― Joe (Joe), Saturday, 31 May 2003 01:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Wee Scots popsters bis did a song called "Icky Poo Air Raid". It had a recorder on it. Then they went on Top Of The Pops and most of us know what happened from there on in.
