After finding Copey's great Head On/Repossesed at my local library, I enjoyed trawling through bits of his old 80s output. Peggy Suicide on the other hand, hasn't one dodgy track on it.
And lots of hiking to folky stuff
In Gowan Ring
Espers
Joan Baez
Roy Harper
Lilac Time
ISB
Enjoyed "Contact" on Dvd

Did either of you (or anyone else for that matter!) hear anything by Jez's Twenty Four Hours?
Saw them live, supporting Pere Ubu a few years back. Nothing earth shattering but I thought they were pretty enjoyable. Wondering what they sounded like on record...

No, haven't so far. On the list of things to check out. I'm sure Dave will have heard the stuff though...

The ex-bass player in my old band once bought a copy of Soft Machine's "Fourth" on vinyl, and then later bought "Fifth" only to find that the music was exactly the same as on "Fourth" - except with side 1 where side 2 should have been and vice versa (Confused? you will be...)
Turned out it was "Fourth" that was the mispress ... maybe Robert Wyatt convinced someone at CBS' pressing plant to engineer a deliberate fuck-up as a form of revenge for being kicked out of the band!

It's happened to me too. I bought a Johnny Ace Hits record that was labeled correctly on both sides. Had BB King on both sides though !
Record company Bloopers.

Oh I might just mention I just got hold of the Tornadoes' Telstar album. Always wanted to get hold of this... "Telstar" is still a thing of beauty.

Um, today it was:
13th Floor Elevators, "Bull Of The Woods" (side one ... played side 2 last night before bed, followed by a CD of a children's choir from the Kalihari which I actually went to sleep to)
Howling Hex, "IX" (side one)
Lunar Dunes
Snoose Junction Presents: "Echo Parks Department" ("new" improv instrumental disc I've put together, still test-driving it but I think it's done)
also last night:
Soul Coughing, "El Oso"
... and some Gnawa thang from the awesometapesfromafrica blog, a fairly recent post
an African compilation on Shanachie, a green one with some kids standing on a house on the front cover
I think I was recently listening to Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter, "Like Love Lust And The Open Halls Of The Soul" album, which is amazing and lush
and a bunch of late 80s Bob Dylan tapes which turned up in the mail from my dad ... there are good bits on each of them, though very few for example on Under The Red Sky (it has things to like about it, but why bother ... ) Most of the problems are that the 80s production sucked logs ... Mind, I enjoy "Empire Burlesque", but Red Sky is just sonically so at odds with what Bob's about, no wonder he couldn't be bothered to write anything worthwhile ... "Down In The Groove" was much better but very very odd ... just weird ... I guess it's bits from a bunch of sessions, includes Silvio and some other very good tracks ... and then "Oh, Mercy" (the 1st Lanois produced one, assuming I've got the titles straight in my head) is very solid ... onward to "Budokan", "Real Live", & "Hard Rain" for a live Bob compare and contrast
