Oceanside Countryside is a real treat from Neil’s archive.
I’m continuing my dive into Elvis Costello’s “the great unknown” box (https://www.elviscostello.info/information/projects/the_great_unknown.html ) as well as Bill Frisell’s download series (https://www.billfrisell.com/downloads). Lots to love in both.

Yeah, that Neil record is a keeper. Might even be in my Top 5 Neils.
I third the take on Oceanside/Countryside. Who won the 1970s? If we include all the albums Neil didn't even release but recorded, it might just be him. Though you know Joni Mitchell and Stevie Wonder and others are in the mix too. But boy Neil did tremendous work in that decade.
Been listening to a lot of Budgie of late, including In for the Kill obvs. Impressed you rated it 4* - more than that Rundgren bloke. Some mistake surely? Cheers!
