Only criticism? Too short.

I have the Mosaic box, which I’ve been listening to lately and, although enjoyable, has a sameness quality to it. Based on Jim’s first post, it doesn’t sound like anything I need to add.

The release date is November 26, Record Store Day.

P-a-t-h-e-t-i-c!

Recent reissue from Vinyl Me Please.

Just finished reading. It’s an excellent exposition of the different bombing strategies in WW II, written in a very conversational manner. Fascinating book. Currently reading Le Carre’s last book.

Excellent. It was intended as a send up of the spy establishment but received mixed reviews. However, over time, it’s become more appreciated. The book that follows this one, A Small Town in Germany, is also good. It takes places in Bonn (the then capital of West Germany) as the UK seeks admission in the mid 60s to the EC.
