That one track sounds very good Indeed

Robert The Bruce Little Miss Muffett Muffin The Mule

Lloyd McNeill - Tori [Baobab, 1978]

I'd offer to pop into SOTU and get them for you sooner but I think it would increase your outlay a fair bit at £12 each plus postage

أحمد = Ahmed* ‎– Super Majnoon (East Meets West) [OtoRoku]

Shaggy Velma Scooby-Doo

really enjoying my first listen to XT's Deorlaf from Café Oto. Spiky stuff indeed from Seymour Wright and Paul Abbott. Wright's playing with Pat Thomas, Noble and Edwards coming up, may have to check that one out

XT - Deorlaf X {OtoRoku]

TS Monk Judas Priest Elvin Bishop

Eric Burdon Tom Waits John Le Mesurier

Alan Price Simon Smith A dancing bear

This one comes to mind. It's been on my 'to read' list for ages https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/M/bo25125876.html and maybe also George Lewis touches on it in this https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/P/bo5504497.html I'm sure others here will have read them and comment accordingly

Kind of. I thought it was good in parts but it all seemed a bit too "suited" in that 80s style, a bit trussed up and constrained. I will listen again though

Just watched the documentary, I'd seen it before but was well worth a second viewing. thanks for posting the link. Coincidentally today would have been his 85th birthday

Glad it's not just me I've gone with the keep them in an outer plastic sleeve option for the time being

Go straight for the Silkhearts, uniformly tremendous

I need to relisten then too. I remember being underwhelmed at the time it was released. I had seen a storming gig of theirs at Ronnies so maybe the album suffered in comparison. Today's been a Yusef Lateef and Paul Horn day here Mono, 1966 Stereo 1964 not the 1957 issue sadly but 1985 Mono, 1978 compilation Mono, 1960 Beware the Jazz bagpipes... and currently maybe some Brotzmann next...

Have either of you managed to fit the LPs into the sleeve? Nine's too tight to accommodate them. Definition of a first world problem, I realise.

Forza Italia! Well played Italy. Best team of the tournament Thanks Brad. Philosophical here, team of the tournament won It's football, everyone knows it's a prospect One other point, the referreeing has been excellent throughout the tournament

Well played Italy, the best team won. It's going Rome! tactical errors with substitutions by Southgate explains some of it but by no means all

I'm not disagreeing. All I was saying was that with all its faults CF is still worthy of a celebration on FSB and that especially in their early years they released some very good albums.

I think that maybe because many CF releases are recorded by the musicians themselves rather than by CF. This I believe is certainly true from when the release schedule went mad after the initial period of a more measured release schedule. Most of those other labels get the musicians into a studio I think, don't they? Foghorn was very 'boutique' that's for sure

Completely agree. I think Southgate's demeanour has been largely impressive. He very definitely doesn't come over as jingoistic which doesn't mean that his comments aren't presented that way by our largely rabidly rightwing press ( couldn't help but laugh at the linked article, The Express quoting Bild, the irony). Oh, I'd stick to an Innis & Gunn. A proper beer in whichever manifestation I fear it might well be. From my first posts in this thread I've identified Italy as the standout team. No real reason to change that opinion other than the significant tactical change required by Spinazzola's injury. I won't begrudge the marvellous Giorgio Chiellini holding the trophy aloft. Head says Italy, heart says England

That's a great album. One of only two Wilson's I have. Both I really enjoy, I should explore further
