Kudos for knowing the band. That first album was much revered by Sydney bands in the mid to late 80s. Seems that almost every band I went to see covered at least one song from it. My own band did "Walking Out On Love".
I searched for ages to find the record and eventually did in a second hand shop on a trip to Melbourne - $18 which was a considerable amount to pay back then.

"I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone"-the Monkees
(a cover of PR & the R version :glee
Trivia note: the bassist on the Monkees session was Larry Taylor later of Canned Heat and several Harvey Mandel solo albums.
More cool creds for our boys.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

"Third Stone From the Sun"- Jimi Hendrix Experience
Apparently, sci-fi fan Jimi liked to borrow more than an occasional guitar lick here and there:
:shocked:

"Rainy Day Dream Away"-Jimi Hendrix Experience
( Intro rap:
"Hey man, take a look out the window and see what's happening
Hey man, it's raining
It's raining outside man
Aw, don't worry about that
Everything's going to be everything
We'll get into something real nice you know
Sit back and groove on a rainy day
[s-s-s-s--s-ppp]
{while holding breath}:
Yeah, yeah I see what you mean brother, lay back and groove.....)
:friendly_wink:
PS this song was reputedly written back at the Castaways hotel on the afternoon of the rained out '68 Miami Pop Festival, the same hotel where the Wreck Bar was located, and where Jimi was photographed with a Starfire at an impromptu jam session later that same day.
Whaddaya think the odds are that that Starfire inspired him to write that jazzy-sounding riff, the jazziest thing he'd done up to that point, hmmmm?
