LP’s
TRAVELIN’ SOULS (LIVE! AT THE LEGENDARY 100 CLUB) – Blow Monkeys
Live recording from re-formed, tragically under-rated 80’s pop act. Personally I would have preferred it if they’d taken their Bolanic pop debut album, Limping For A Generation, as their starting point, rather than the later, more successful white-boys-80’s-soul, but I guess the clue was in the title. Dr Robert sounds a bit gruff on this one. “It’s been a long tour”, he points out!

BERKELEY 1980 – Cabaret Voltaire
Loving Expect Nothing.

INSIDE STORY – Grace Jones
Almost forgotten (by me anyway!) mid 80’s set that is probably more streamlined and less rootsy than that mighty early 80’s Warm Leatherette / Nightclubbing / Living My Life trilogy, but still, it’s enjoyable all the same.

SUDDENLY EVERYTHING CHANGES FOREVER – David Drew Longey
Evocative banjo stuff c/o our very own Hand Of Dave. Not sure I’d expect to like this, but I do!

DEFINITIVE DAZE – Magazine
Pretty good bootleg though Burst is a bit of a mess.

THE WEREWOLF OF LONDON – Paul Roland
Finally got to hear this. Yeah, enjoyed it...

SPIRIT OF JOY (TALES FROM THE POLYDOR UNDERGROUND 1967-74) – V/A
Arthur Brown. The Creation. The Who. Etc. etc. And loads more on this 3 cd set (though haven’t reached disc 3 yet) currently available from Amazon for twelve quid something, pop pickers. The downside is that it means I now have VDGG tracks in my collection. I feel positively dirty! ; )

WORLD OF HITS – V/A
First in series of late 60’s/early 70’s Decca compilations. Hits galore from Procul Harem, The Zombies, Small Faces, Moody Blues, Them, etc.
