Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind (Singles and Demos 1964 to 1967)

I found this artist. Yes, the only reason I know about Vashti is from seeing a commercial for Reebok that featured "Train Song," but WOW, what a find! Her voice is so clear, calming, and heartbreaking all at the same time. A few reviewers have commented about the lo-fi quality of the track, but it didn't bother me.

I admit it, I fell in love with this music from the reebok ad, but c'mon, how about some remastering? $20 for a tinny, scratchy low-fi recording 50 years old is completely unreasonable. I'd put up with the "charming" scratchiness for the usual $10. (And don't give me "but look how many songs are on it!" — they're all two minutes long.) I'm massively disappointed in iTunes and in the record company.

I first found out about Vashti from a commercial--the one for Reebok Migration. Was instantly transfixed by the music and very happy to find it here on iTunes along with this awesome compilation. Wow. Awesome. So glad I still watch TV! ✿

Although there are a few repetitive tracks from Diamond Day, this is an immaculate collection of her lo-fi 60's recordings. Some of the tracks are more scratchy than others, but it's a charming scratchiness like the sound of playing directly from vinyl. "Train Song," is amazing--something that should've been on Diamond Day. Like all of Vashti's music, the previously unrealeased tracks are deeply intimate and beautiful and although this is a rather pricey buy, as a Vashti fan, I'd buy this collection again and again and again. I suppose there's not much more to say than that

The best part is the 64' songs and the area around "train song". Its all rather beautiful though. Well, I like it anyway.
