William Fraser's letter about Adrian Henri and the Liverpool Scene (April 11) caused me to search my dusty vinyls and dig out the record I thought was there.

It is Recollections, released in 1972 on the famous Charisma label.

As well as The Woo Woo, mentioned by Mr Fraser, which celebrates Bobby and the Helmets' greatest hits, there are several other fine Liverpool Scene tracks to remind me of the late Sixties.

These include Bat Poem, set to the Batman theme and based around thoughts of the Vietnam war, and the sensual Love Story, which is a beautiful description both of physical objects and of young love.

Both tracks were produced by John Peel, whom I first started listening to on pirate Radio London and whose talent as a broadcaster still captivates us on Saturday mornings on Radio 4. How times change.

Another highlight is I've Got Those Fleetwood Mac, Chicken Shack, John Mayall, Can't Fail Blues, a splendid pastiche of all the sounds of the blues boom of that time, as aspiring bands made their way around the clubs, rather than being invented on TV.

Moreover, the sleeve notes mention the Angel Hotel in Godalming, Surrey, which is where I saw Fleetwood Mac and Chicken Shack, not to mention Free, Black Sabbath and Genesis.

Those Sunday nights in the company of my contemporaries, including Ben Elton's big sister, were unforgettable.

She lived in Guildford, which is also where I went to school - and saw John Mayall (with his ever-changing band members) at the Civic Hall, a very different experience from the Gin Mill club at the Angel.

These reminiscences must be a sign of my fast approaching 50th birthday.

I would be interested to hear if other readers have memories about that time in the music scene.
