Novelty humor platter
Review written by John Fitzgerald, March 14th, 2005 It's been noted in various discographies that Dave Mason plays guitar on this album but there's no musician listing on the album so it's hard to tell which tracks he's on (if any) though I'd imagine it's more likely he'd be on the side one tracks (more of which below). As it is, I have a mono copy of this album (Parlophone, PMC 7077) and what is mainly listed in discographies is the stereo version (PCS 7077) and the mono copy of the album is actually billed as "L the P" (instead of "Lily the pink"). I'm assuming the stereo copies have this title as well but I've not come across one yet so I'm left to assume the only difference in the two versions of the album is the channeling of the sound output as opposed to a different title, tracklisting and/or musicians etc. Dave's appearance on this album may very well have been confused over the years with his work on McGough and McGear's selftitled "solo" album dating from the same time period (on which he plays sitar on a track from that album called "Ex art student") but we'll just press on with the album in hand though whatever the case. Side two of the album is basically a stand up comedy piece recorded live at EMI studios with a small intimate audience laughing throughout subtitled "Humour & poetry", there's various "Carry on..." type double entendres in this sides proceedings with tracks (though not separated by blank spaces/lines on the vinyl) titled "Fancy goods", "The little plastic Mac", "Bucks", "10:15 Thursday morning", "Father John", "Tim", "Birds", "Poems: Russian bear/My busseductress/Discretion/Naughty girl", "Boxes" & "Guitar". The tracks on side one of the album are separate songs. They are whimsical pop for the most part like the organ mid tempo "Today" though the bouncy tracks are the most likable such as the opening "1 2 3" and the more enjoyable popular British single side closing "Lily the pink" (which is a fun sing a long). "Oh! To be a child" is a swirling light balladish ditty while "Stop blowing those charity bubbles" is a dated sounding but fairly well executed funk. "I can't make you mine" has a slight slow country feel but it's smoothness drags it more to the waltz sound and "Jelly covered cloud" is an acceptable up beat jangler. Overall though the novelty of such a recording makes it hard to take seriously but it makes for an interestingly colorful Mason discography entry.
