Today's chazzer booty, £1.
A perennial John Peel fave - 1978 pressing with red labels. The sleeve needed a few wipes but the dusty vinyl came up bright and shiny after some minimal TLC.
I found a couple of old Burning Spear LPs in the same quid box too. Bargains are still out there, folks!

Loughborough University have one of these on their campus too - it's worth the effort of a visit just to see it up close.

I bought this weeks ago but only got 'round to listening to it tonight. My loss 'cause it's a beaut, though I can't see it making them many new fans. They sound. still, like Zappa's Hot Rats filtered through Eno's secret stash of SFX c.Before & After Science. So that's a recommendation, I suppose?

I was being facetious, sorry!
Timothy Claypole was more post-punk than prog, wasn't he?

I can't remember the last time I listened to Godspeed, but the neighbours are out (hooray) and I'm sitting here with a busted ankle, a quiche in the oven, and a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale to hand so let's crank it way up.

I certainly wasn't expecting to end up here this morning but it turns out it's good for vacuuming to.

Original Chapter 1 pressing in great shape - it regularly sells for £100+ on Discogs, etc (but I'll be hanging onto it).
I've never heard a Pete Brown record I didn't like - his LPs with Battered Ornaments and Piblokto! are all bona fide Desert Island Discs 'round 'ere...

Nigh on 40 years since I last listened to this and to say I'm "surprised" by how much I'm enjoying it would be *something* of an understatement - it must be my age?
George Martin's bland production did them no favours and turned me right off the band at the time.

I like S25, and this LP in particular, but the ACR / EW&F crack = actual LOL.

On CD, Mr. Cutler's 1st album for Virgin, who quickly signed him up after hearing his cameo on Robert Wyatt's peerless Rock Bottom. Dandruff features some of the earliest instalments of the Life In A Scotch Sitting Room saga, amongst other Ivor-ian tidbits...

Bob goes super(duper)nova, and Antonioni's masterpiece still keeps getting better every time I watch it, 30-odd years since I first saw it on late-night BBC2.
