"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    Starsailor, the album from which that's taken, is hard but not impossible to come by.


    I'd advise people to start their Tim collection with Dream Letter: Live in London 1968, then his studio album Happy Sad (1969). Goodbye and Hello (1967) features many of his best known songs, and Greetings from L.A. (1972) is downright dirrrrrrty. Some of his experimental stuff is hit and miss, for example Lorca (1970), and he could knock out some so-so releases, too. But on the whole, the man was legendary in his lifetime.

    Might have been an interesting actor, if he'd pursued the art:
