And then, I believe, Bowie offered him a job in the Spiders from Mars, but a better/simultaneous offer came in from Yes.

Haven’t listened to this for a couple of years but playing it now I wondered why not (probably the same as everyone else, too many albums to listen to!) as it’s pretty good and Holly doesn’t seem to pop up in this thread so often.

Financially (artistic depends on your view) Rick probably made the right decisions as the Spiders never got paid much.

That’s tomorrow nights listening sorted. Been listening to his radio 2 show recently. 
A quick break from Bruce listening. Glad I got this - a record store day release of something that would normally set you back hundreds of pounds as only ever released before in 1970 in Japan. Great pressing and excellent music.
JJ Johnson and Kai Winding Stonebone and a line up featuring Herbie Hancock, Bob James, Ron Carter and George Benson

Consider disco well and truly revived. Already in 2020 we’ve had Dua Lipa, Jessie Ware and Jessy Lanza nostalgically turning back the clock to a comparatively carefree pre-Covid time of mirrorballs and late night boogie-ing, creating records that could easily have fallen through a time capsule. Now, flamboyant Irish outsider Róisín Murphy is back to claim her throne as queen of the dancefloor, delivering a decade-in-the-making discofied album full of pulsating feel-good anthems. And it’s an instant classic.

Was going through some older sections of the collection and decided on this one. Not listened to in a long time.

Like this music, it’s called lyrical pieces which is a very correct description. Denis plays with the right touch…
