I bought a vinyl copy
of "Still" based on the recommendation of a friend of mine who owned a record store. He played the title track for me in his shop, and the blending of Greg Lake's vocals with Peter's on this track stunned me into purchasing the lp. I have since bought it on cd, but like the vinyl mix better. I hope one day it will be restored to the vinyl sound. But the lp remains a favorite of mine. The word-pictures Peter painted appealed to the artist in me. I liked his Sea-Goat song so much I painted a picture of it. I have enclosed a scan of it for you. The runic lettering on the fringe of his clothing spells out Peter's name and the word "Still". |

Rick Ray (May 09 2003) When this album first came
out, I was the only one around to have it. I told a lot of people about it and
word started getting around. I started seeing albums and 8 tracks at friends
houses. One line really sticks out in my mind from that album, "gargoyles
chewing on dead cigars" describing a man in a late night eatery, of which
I could relate to seeing back then. I love 'House Of Hopes And Dreams', great
song. He's a poet I consider great. This was an album the world should have
really sat up and took notice to, but the best stuff usually does go unnoticed
by the masses. Cecilia Salord (April 27th
2003) I'll never thank enough to
this friend of mine who many years ago bought me the album Still for my birthday.
I'm from Argentina and in those years when the militars ruled the country foreign
music was not easily heard on the radio, so many great musicians were not known
until a long time passed, so music stores had lots of low price albums because
they were not easy to sell. Still was one, but as i had lived in England for
some years my friend thought i might like it. Well, sure i did, and its poetry
and music still move me deeply. Thanks Pete, thanks to the musicians who joined
you and thanks to Daniel my friend...Cecilia Andrew Keeling (21 May 2003) Still is a magnificent
triumph. It takes the softer side of KCI & II...the 'feminine' side of the
band which was Peter Sinfield, and allows us to see quite clearly who was responsible
for that. That's what was so strong about KC I & II: there was wholeness
and that gradually changed from Red onwards. This isn't a criticsm of later
Crimson it's just something I sense. At least, that's the way I hear, and see,
it. Still retains that colour and also adds PJS's
other, wider ranging interests. So, he wasn't just a great lyricist but also
knew about folk/jazz/country musics. And he was going to let these out as a
way, maybe, to balance out the other side which was developing along the lines
of LTIA. The Sulamith Wulfing painting says it all. Lovely album which has always been a friend
through the years. Thanks, Peter! That's one of the things music
should be about. I have reunited, after many
years, with the love of my life; then as now "Still" welded our spirits
together as closely as art, experience or event are able. Still is the 'gold waterfalls
of autumn wheat' across the fields of West Cranmore. Still is dream-time. Still
is leaving the ice-man for Mediterranean sunshine. Still is stepping from the
shadows to front of stage. Still is showing that you really can do it. Still
is developing the craft. Still is the point of calm between raging ideas. Still
is anger and depression transformed into gold. Still is alchemy. Still is being
true to your friends. Still is showing feelings. Still is leaving the security
of the front of house. Still points to the future. Still is thirty years old?
Never. Still is timeless. Jose (December 22nd 2002) Still was the 2nd album I ever
bought - accompanied by Under the Sky autographed a year early (73). Long may
lyricism live. JACLOR (October 11th 2002) Hi Pete l know you since 1969
with the first KC and l have your only record Still on old vinyl and l have
your book too. Your site is wonderful. l am Québécois Canada 50
years old and musician too. Many thanks for your poetry. l'm looking for other
works of you lt's seem rare. Nick Harding My kids now listen to Still!
Lynni (August 30th 2002) a masterpiece like a monet
Bill Jenkinson (Friday, May
10th 2002) Song Of The Seagoat has got
to go down as one of the most beautiful and poignant songs I have ever heard,and
I fully intend to add your fine album,now titled Stillusion to my prized collection. Warrigal (February 28th 2002) I think "Still" was
and still is a masterpiece. Mark Pearson (February 9th
2002) His choice of artwork on Still
opened my eyes to the works of Sulamith Wulfing.
though i'm probably younger than the average pete sinfield fan i'm so in love with all of his poetry... even though his mother tongue is not my original language i'm so fascinated by the power and lightness of his words... the moods he sets... i wish i could ever write some lyrics - just to one song - able to compare with his works... i hope we'll still be hearing from you a lot...
Well... I bought Still the day it was published in Italy. It still (forget the pun) keeps a special place in my soul. Thanks, Pete.
