I spent a lot of time looking in books at Oscar Niemeyer's buildings in Brasília. The embodiment of a modernist, futuristic world. Many years later I was sent to Brazil to work for a short time and I took the opportunity to visit Brasília. You can see more of my photos at www.nicebuildings.com

Of my several copies of The Velvet Underground & Nico this is my most treasured-original mono release with 'torso' sleeve. An inverted picture of Eric Emerson can be seen at the top but following his threat to sue a sticker was used to cover his image with reprinted versions airbrushing him out.

British Buildings 1960-1964 has photos, floor plans & text for some of the period's familiar buildings such as 26 St James's Place, New Zealand House, The Economist. Probably less familiar is this 1964 Cambridge house by Patrick Hodgkinson who is best known as the designer of The Brunswick Centre.

Although my parents lived in N.London at the time, I was born at the Salvation Army Mothers' Hospital in Clapton, Hackney, probably making me a Cockney.
Originally for unmarried mothers, it opened up to all mothers after WW1. The front buildings remain with a 1990 housing development behind.

I liked the music from The Sorcerers (1967, Boris Karloff, Ian Ogilvy, Susan George) which is by Paul Ferris who also composed Witchfinder General. I couldn’t find a soundtrack album so I made an unofficial one which you can download here if you also like it or are curious - linktr.ee/andrewcromar

I also couldn’t have imagined that decades later I would find the car in which the monk drove to his end, and which is shown behind him in the full version of the picture, hidden away in the courtyard of a Pagoda in Huế, Vietnam. 3/3

When I bought Holiday In Cambodia by Dead Kennedys in 1980, I probably didn’t know where Cambodia was and I certainly couldn’t have imagined that decades later I would spend a lot of time there, living there for a while. 1/3

I've been appreciating the talents of Anthony Newley recently and I discovered that my local library has this. It's an old US edition of a song book for The Roar Of The Greasepaint - The Smell Of The Crowd, original price $4. It's a lovely item.

Since reading Bob's Musty Books pages I have also regretted not keeping more of my childhood books. I just held onto these. I am a fan of most things Roger Moore but I am not sure of the rationale behind the others.
