Faust
So Far
1972 (unknown date, bootleg)
Schwarz Records
German Krautrock pioneers and their often overlooked second album. Fun fact; the first track is titled ‘It’s a Rainy Day Sunshine Girl’.
Yep, never my fave in terms of content, just wondering how the remix went…
Beck - Sea Change. I think I bought this shortly after it came out and I don’t think I’ve listened to it more than a few times. A sure sign that it didn’t grab me at the time. Anyway, plucked it off the shelf this afternoon with no great expectations but, to my complete surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The Fall
The Rough Trade Singles
2018
Superior Viaduct Records
Pulled this one out whist I was in the F section, a compilation of early singles by The Fall and the irascible genius that was their leader, the late great Mark E. Smith
About to perform their last gigs before they call it a day which is a shame, but Mrs KJH and I will be in Gorilla, Manchester early next month to give them a good send off.
The CD box was much smarter with each single and B side housed in cardboard replicas of the original single art work.
