Early Mac were terrific and for a soul bending guitar virtuoso performance Albatross i right up there.

Was lucky enough to see him a while back.Rather troubled soul but he made lovely music.

Oh Well

Albatross, Man of the World, Green Manalishi and Oh Well were all iconic releases amongst me and my muso mates in the late 60s/early 70s, part of the soundtrack of our lives at that time. RIP.

Me too, Dave. A real hero in the late 60s, such a shame he lost his way with mental health issues. A gigantic talent. RIP.

Just read of this,incredibly sad to hear.

Like Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd, a musical genius destroyed by drugs but I read unlike Syd was not self inflicted. Apparently he was invited to a party in Germany where someone spiked his drink with a massive dose of LSD. Done his head in. He did comeback many years after, but never the same.

With both I suspect the drugs made already underlying issues come to the fore. If you've already got a tendency towards mental illness LSD won't help.
