Renaissance, Turn Of The Cards, cd rip
Going through a Renaissance spell at the moment. I’ve had a binge on the various second hand platforms and topped my cd collection up with the various album gaps. I admit though I already had all of their good albums. Their later albums were really rather poor: Camera Camera!! Good grief.
Now one of their good albums 
My first JM album purchased after listening to it on TOGWT.
Renaissance, Ashes Are Burning, cd rip
Another excellent Renaissance album.
On CD:-
Smashing Pumpkins - Monuments To An Elegy
Listening to the Dana Gavanski mini album Wind Songs she covers the Chic song At Last I Am Free.
But it’s actually a cover of Robert Wyatt’s cover of Chic.
Each version is just sublime in it’s own way. Robert Wyatt’s version is on this lovely album.
Bruce Springsteen. Letter to you.
Unsure at first but this gets better with each play.
And the snow scenes seemed appropriate.
Gotta get me one of those jackets
Soul Jazz label?
Superb! They were all polio sufferers
Thanks, I thought I saw it on Soul Jazz/Sounds Of The Universe website. It appeared on one of the many mailing lists that fill my inbox.
Israel vibration. Got the vinyl dub version somewhere. Israel Tafari ? Fatman Riddim Section?
Filing malfunction I think.
Not sure. It was produced by Tommy Cowan who also had Inner Circle on his Talent Corporation roster. Fatman Riddim section is the name used by the core of the Inner Circle band when backing other artists. So its possible the dub album your referring to could be credited to Fatman Riddim section but I dont have it, let me know if you find it.
I would highly recommend the EMI issue of Same Song as it includes original 12" mixes with dubs and featuring Augustus Pablo. It has better SQ than the Pressure Sounds release you pictured which I also have on both CD & LP.
Just to add if your interested, they did many great albums including Unconquered People, Praises, Why You So Craven and On The Rock being highlights
Found it on Discogs. Comes under the name Fatman Riddim Section. Album title Israel Tafari released 1978. Will look for it next time I’m in the vaults.
As you know they were at the centre of Inner Circle which we have referred to in the past.
Thanks will check it out, sounds like the one I described but retitled maybe, interesting
Edit
Yes Israel Tafari is a US edition also on Top Ranking Sounds but only has dubs to 8 of the tracks. The Jamaican one I referred to is the complete dub of the whole album.
Thanks again
I just pre ordered this and Vol2. Thanks for heads up. Looks interesting.
