William D Drake - The Rising of the Lights
The Pretty Things - S F Sorrow. I had the good fortune to know Phil May’s daughter who invited me to a friends and family run through of this album at Ronnie Scotts in the late nineties. I met Phil and band and also Dave Gilmour and Arthur Brown who were/are ardent fans. Certainly an evening I’ll never forget!
I was playing SFS this afternoon. The Madfish Sainsbury’s red vinyl. Excellent album - pretty fine reissue.
On to shoegazey (I think?) Pop with Lush, Gala.
It’s no MBV, but it’s quite nice.

My first and very enjoyable listen here,
and thanks to @TheKevster for the heads up!
Reissued this year in a fantastic surround mix, an album that never stays in one place very long, and wonderfully so.
Radian is one, amongst several, of their great compositions.
10,000 Hz Legend - Air
Today on offer at eclassical, the two pieces fit very well to each other…, Sacre could be a bit more raw to my taste…
One of the best bands I’ve seen live Andy but that album went under my radar. Lined up for tomorrow which I might play back to back with Chairs missing.
I saw them in December 1977 backed by a band called Nutz.
The headphones are on for this one… I don’t think Mrs M would appreciate her evening viewing being interrupted!
Its hard to believe thats is 30 years old, but boy what an album!
Flossie Malavialle - Live June 2018 - WAV CD rip
Folk singer captured live, gentle enjoyable versions of folk numbers and some pop classics. Flossie has a lovely voice, nice guitar playing, it’s an enjoyable album. She’s originally French and has lived in the North-East for decades, her French/Geordie accent makes her eccentric song introductions almost as much fun as the music.
I saw them a year later. The sight of me bouncing up and down to I am the fly is not for the faint hearted.
Don’t know Nutz though.
There are so many great things on the ECM new series releases.
