    Posted · Edited by Tony Pusey

    First news in a while that makes me cry. Forever Changes has been a constant source of solace in difficult times since it was first released. In my opinion the best rock album ever,for me attaining something close to the status of Truth-and I know how corney that sounds, but about how many pieces of plastic can one say that?and I know that not much of worth came after....

    Till the end of this generation, Love Lives!

    Arturly, Alone again

    Or?

    I wonder who it will be tomorrow, you or me....

  5. Rarest (most expensive?) CDs

    I've been trying to get the Rhino Handmade compilation of Percy Mayfield's Atlantic and Tangerine recordings. It only came out in January 2004 and seems to have been deleted within about a year. Currently, you can get it from Amazon US partners for $85 And You can get it from Amazon UK partners for 122 GBpounds - this is a single CD!

    I'm NOT paying that much, not even for Percy Mayfield. Someone at Rhino SERIOUSLY misjudged the market.

    MG

    Not only did they misjudge the market, but the relatively large number of copies they supplied to Spin in Newcastle, UK, had the wrong cds , And as a limited edition! Spin never received replacements, and so I never received my pre ordered copy.

    Dont have it to hand but I am pretty sure that Wenners interview with Garcia that came out in book form mentioned a solo album. Also remember about 10 years back, that a release sheet of indie releases that went out to Dutch shops mentioned that it was on the way, I made an advance ordet, but it never turned up....

  7. Charlie Haden and his Montreal Tapes

    I voted for Cherry and Blackwell, but in all fairness, it is impossible for me to rule out any of his recordings. I love them all. I really enjoy all his Liberation orchestra projects (esp the one based on the Spanish Civil War). Excellent.

    Years ago (1982 or 1983) I saw Charlie Haden leading a quartet in NYC. The band was Haden, Richie Beirach, Michael Brecker and Al Foster. Kind of an odd set of bedfellows, but the music was beautiful. I had seats right in front of the stage.

    Al was playing so loud that my friends wanted to leave. I was like "are you fucking kidding me?? I'm not going anywhere!"

    Today is the 70 anniversary of the start of the Spanish civil war,with Francos rising in Morroco, the 19 is the day that the CNT/FAI led the resistance to the Coup in Barcelona, saving it for the Republic. Buenaventura Durruti, please step forward and take a bow!

    Dont know about the music, but you might like to read the excellent book by Guy Debord from which they have lifted the title! Or, why not, read anything you can lay your hands on by the Situationist International of which Debord was a co-founder. :tup

    My software is really simple. A pencil and a little notebook.

    I used to fret and concern myself about nice covers but have now adopted a less burdensome mindset. :D

    Must be nice to have handwriting that doesn't suck. The version I'm running didn't come with that feature, and I've never bothered with any of the upgrades I'm afraid. ^_^

    It probably does suck but I can read it. The problem I have is my wife cleans up and the notebook goes missing for days on end. :unsure:

    Perhaps its time to upgrade her? Just a suggestion, I hear there are nice new models available...
