The Incredible String Band - Queen Juanita and Her Fisherman Lover

[@bertieborough]

I just loved this song when it first came out. ISB are one of the greatest bands of all time in my humble opinion.

Very unusual song, but after a few listens I am starting to love it! There is always a catchy unique melody that draws you into the strangest ISB songs and helps you to fall in love with them. This song is really something! You can imagine them getting totally lost in a creative trance here. The band is like no other, and I love them so much!

[@iancarus7813]

Such an amazing song. I guess only ISB fans like me enjoy it. It sounds like they were as high as kites but the amazing thing is that it appears to have been written long after they'd taken on Scientology and had given up drugs ! For me 5,000 S, The H's BD and WT&theBH are still them at their very best.

Thank you for this sweet jewel! Incredible at its playful imaginative best. 😍😍😍

One of the most unique and wonderful musical groups ever. Thanks for posting this rarity. Love every phase of their magical career.

I heard them do this in concert, probably around 1970, I think they capped off the concert at the Fillmore East with this. The refrain played in my head while I rode the subway at around 3 a.m. getting back to my dorm, overriding the normal paranoia one would have doing something like that in New York City in 1970. The refrain has remained in my head ever since, and still gets me out of a bad frame of mind.

[@alfonslemel5745]

"One of the, "er, strangest songs" Ha ha! top marks for diplomacy! The ISB's equivalent of HAL's circuits gone haywire. :)

[@thomasott6184]

to put it mildly: in 1970 ISB were declining, in every way. "obscured by clouds" i would describe it. QUEEN JUANITA is an oddity in itself. perhaps the most incredibly (sic!) ridiculous song ever recorded, by any band, and therefore (?) not released, in 1970. in retrospect, it is one of the most haunting and (for me) influentual songs i ever heard. they did more stringent things in their early years, but never did ISB venture more fields never explored before. their tragic (with this song and with everything they did) was that (up to now) that nobody wants to see it, and (by now) it´s way too late to late to "murder time", as ISB put it in words (october song) themselves: Sometimes I want to murder time, Sometimes when my heart's aching, But mostly I just stroll along, The path that he is taking.

[@romschoos7573]

Thanks so much for uploading. Queen Juanita is one of my favorites by ISM, haven't heard it for many many years, since my old vinyl is gone since long. It's a pity it never has been released on CD. This song just makes me smile :-)

[@max61203]

Yea they have some very strange music, but just gotta love most of it. The 60's were pretty strange anyway.

[@thefrisquette]

Many thanks for the song.I'm a very old fan of ISB,Robin and Mike.....And I search DVDs from the band!!???

[@cmasseylynch]

[@makellys]

This actually has come out on CD - it's on Tricks of the Senses, which is a bunch of outtakes and stuff.

[@flotantesolar4751]

Sounds like music after a caribean vacations,,, Jamaica, Aruba, etc.

[@jaslinc3371]

I don't know what crowd to which they played ... Woodstock was a synch bout; I can only loving imagine. It splashed. I love those musicians and the Celtic and Human values in real talent and real Love they brought INTO what was sweet and special.

[@romschoos7573]

Great! Thank you for the information.

[@pyewhackett1598]
