RIP. I was a customer and got to hear, and sometimes even discovered, great stuff through him. He was my Japanese connection.

That's one I want to vindicate as well. A brilliant album. Though it's a Bowie production, who wanted to appropriate Lou Reed. Hence the strong make up.

And RIP Mark Lanegan

With a nice David Stone Martin cover, though I don't know what he's holding with his left hand, I recently got this one as a 1000 yenner. Good enough!

That's one I've got to reread soon. I saw him once in 2003 in Brussels, but what you describe must have been powerful.

Yes, exactly. And I see it's also on Bandcamp.

A beatiful collection of colourful psychedelia. From Craft. Although it's already some years old.

I have a fabulous comp from them of Peruvian cumbia from the second half of the 60s and beginnings of the 70s. Its sounds like a crazy marriage of surf music and cumbia. There is lots of psychedelic echoladen Strat on there. Oh, and its called Cumbia Beat Vol.1

Oh, I see it's I think a Gibson Super 400. The ultra archtop and the biggest one of them. That is from the prehistory of Gibson, when they were making mostly archtops, that is jazz guitars, and the headstock was maybe still not as highly developed as further on when they became instantly recognizable. And thanks for the answers.

Ah, good to know. But what make is that guitar on the cover? Its headstock doesn't look Gibsonesque.

Something I must dig into then. I don't know it.

And that's what I'm listening to right now.

I thought from the start it would be some kinda comp of her whole career. But then the description says a complete set of Nina Simone's effervescent recordings from her early period So it's more early Simone.

I always think when I hear of the disappearance of something, in this case the CD, that a revival is just around the corner

Enjoying a trio of Farlow, Claude Williamson and Red Mitchell, which was discussed elsewhere here (the part of Swing Guitars). Although I think THE Farlow trio was with Eddie Costa and Vinnie Burke.

No, there is only the Farlow part there. I believe.

Not that I have any contributions to make here, but the other day I was searching for an album called Swing Guitars on Norgran with Tal Farlow, Barney Kessel and Oscar Moore and I found out that I believe it never has had a CD release. Though I saw it's on Qobuz. By the way, the session or part of it, is on the Farlow Mosaic.

I recently got, together with a comp of British jazz from the second half of the 60s and the beginnings of the 70s, called Journeys in modern jazz: britain, two very nice soundtrack related CDs from them. One a collection of Piero Piccioni and the other a comp from moments from Italian horror movies called Paura.

I plan on picking this up too. In the near future. Energy Flash it's called, I think. Just as the John Beltran song. I also lived through all that: electronic music in the 90s and the 2000s, so I'm interested in the book. I have a very interesting book called Teenage. The prehistory of youth culture 1875-1945. Though not by him but another Englishman, Jon Savage.

Oh, I see Some Girls there, an album I like a lot. And is that New Order's Power, corruption and lies next to Boston?

I saw the movie sometime in the late 70s IIRC. I just checked and it' from 75, so it could be. And with Susan Sarandon in what I imagine as one of her first roles.

I think my first set was Horace Parlan. I'm not sure though.

Very true. But it always happens. Everywhere.

That cover was great. I still don't know if it's her or a figure. I seem to remember (maybe it's just imagination) a small plastic or rubber figure I saw somewhere.
