For anybody in the UK, Woolworths has a fantastic CD sale at the moment. I picked this reissue up for £4. They also have Johnny Cash Fulsom Prison Blues for £1, Paul Weller's debut solo album and Wild Wood for £2 and £3 respectively, The Verve Urban Hymns for £4 and other great bargains.

Saw it featured as a part of a documentary series (Great Australian Albums) over the weekend, so I've been giving it a spin. Here are a couple of short clips from the documentary -

I'm not, I'm jealous. It's 18C max here today (64F?), and absurdly cold and grey and miserable for the time of year. I can hardly remember what heat feels like. I'm getting SAD. Everyone else has had blistering temperatures. Feel my pain (OK, we haven't been flooded in this part of England, nor had hurricanes, but still ...).spooky girlfriend wrote:Too damn hot, Mood. I'm feelin' your pain here as well.

Hello Val (Is calling you Val O.K.?) It's always nice to meet someone with similar musical tastes.
At the moment I am listening to John Prine's Souvenirs. 'Angel From Montgomery' just came on. He is playing here in Pgh. in December and I am getting reacquainted with his voice.

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think that you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt

These three:

(Not the Lesley Garrett, thank you.)
I can't even find images of the covers to link to! having had the huge pleasure of seeing the great man in a very small venue recently, it's odd to hear him live in his heyday from big London venues and Glastonbury. This is all great stuff for any hardcore Lloydfan, and a great way of tracing his evolution, but the '95 solo Lloyd show is the winner for me (absurdly dismissed in The Word by Andrew Collins for the vocals). Fantastic setlist (touring Love Story, playing the best of both the Commotions period and his early solo stuff), and a cracking band with Neil Clark on guitar, and the quite superb Rafa Maciejak or however you write his Polish surname, on drums, solid as a rock, just as he is on the Negatives LP. Interesting sleeve notes from Lloyd about him, the previous drummer, Robert Qune and various other things. The annoying thing is that the '95 show is followed unchronologically (unlike the pattern of the Commotions volumes) by a '90 session, with Quine sounding great. There's a lovely cover of Lou Reed's I'm Just A Gift To The Women of This World on that session. It's great stuff, and so welcome as an official release.
