    There's a good comp, "Up From The Skies - The Polydor Years", which is pretty much a reissue of her first two albums, and is worth copping. You can actually get sealed o.g. vinyl copies from her website. If you don't mind ponying up $60, that is. Her version of "Born Under A Bad Sign" is

    Yeah, great compilation and strongly recommended. It's all worth checking out, in my book, but We The People is maybe my favourite LP.

    fuckin a right ellen mcillwaine...she used to have a band with hendrix that morphed into a wicked psych band called something i forget but it also has a very different version of born under a bad sign. if anyone has a copy for trade or sale, hit me upm on the PM.

    2. wade in the water
    3. ode to billie joe
    4. higher ground
    5. weird of hermiston
    6 up from the skies

    I've wanted to feel Ellen McIlwaine many times, but was afraid of the slap.

    AS every one has noted the 2 Polydor lps. Plus The Real which is Canadian only.

    Don't be frighten by the prices on her web site. Those are Canadian dollars. I'm not sure what the exchange rate is, but it would be nice to get them from her for a fair Canadian price.

    I like Fear Itself ok, but I recall it lacking the kind of vision her Polydor and Kot'ai records have. More of a typical late 60s rock thing.

    Beware her Blind Pig and Stony Pony records, one sucks and the other is ehhh.
