COMPILATION CORNER
This week I have been revisiting the strange , wondrous and idiosyncratic world of Howe Gelb , so many magical moments across his albums and this rounds up a few of them quite nicely . Only ever out on CD except in Indonesia where it was also on cassette , obviously 😁

Despite two #1 singles Scotts solo career has kind of overshadowed them but there are some real gems on the Walkers first 3 LPs (as well as some naff covers) This lovely comp is selected to perfection and has all you need.
Only 3 written by Scott but “Archangel” is the pick.❤️🖤

In the first 10 years of his career , 1977-1986 , Elvis was a busy man , he fired out 11 studio albums . In 1985 though he never bothered so they put out a Best Of instead , a jam packed , 9 tracks per side , hectic beast of an album.
All killer , no filler .

Time for #SundayMatinee , an old favourite again , the tale of one wee guy who just wants to bugger off on his own and get peace from this shitty world snd all its arseholes . Of course , the world has other plans …….
Utter gem .

Today I bought the new Manics book by Keith Cameron so there’s only one choice for tunes , this masterful anthology .
Truly , when you hear them come at you one after another , gem upon gem , they were the Greatest Singles band of their generation …. ❤️🖤

I only knew the hits . When the sad news of Stephen Luscombes death was reported earlier this year I took a chance on this , 2CD budget priced cheapo from Music Deluxe , it is absolutely superb . . . ❤️🙏🏼

I had a lot of driving today , this fitted the bill to perfection , a 2CD round up of the great mans post-Du career and it’s a beautiful thing indeed . From 2021 .

There can , sadly , be only one contender tonight . Featuring a man who played bass at one of the greatest gigs I ever saw (Glasgow 1989) , on one of the best ever debut LPs AND the sublime B Side Mersey Paradise .
Gary Mounfield aka Mani : May his rest be forever peaceful 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

“It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones,on the spears of the little gate,on the barren thorns.His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling,like the descent of their last end,upon all the living and the dead.”

PIXIES

2004 saw this second (and much better) attempt at a Pixies Best Of and it’s an absolute corker .
Excellent selection of tracks and a superb B Side (a Neil Young cover) chucked in right at the end for good measure ….

Superb album and its beautiful offspring .

Lush - Spooky , For Love , Black Spring …
