Haven't had time for much music for pleasure ...

A Punk & His Music - Johnny Rotten, Tommy Vance et al
Some excellent music (Bobby Byrd AND Kevin Coyne, The Fairports AND Yabby U) but fascinating as much for the ad breaks as the rather stilted conversation with Tommy Vance. The interview showcases Rotten the callow youth before braying sarcasm was his stock in trade.

The ad spots run the gammut - a George Hatcher gig, a Stranglers single, a Be Bop Deluxe album, Max Factor perfume, Dentine gum, Lois jeans "the kind of style that makes you feel a million pesetas", a movie called The Devils Playground "a story of boys and their tutors in a college monastry" (ironic given JR's comments in the show re benefits or otherwise of a Catholic education) and racing at Sandown all advertised side by side between songs by Can, Culture and Nico. We were simple people.

McCartney II
Excellent shout this by someone(SeaCat was it?) Could the long overdue McCartney revival / reapraisal finally be nigh?

The Tubes - s/t
This record sits somewhere in the shared ground between "For Your Pleasure", "Diamond Dogs", "Zoot Allures" and "The Rocky Horror Show". Belies their rep as a great live act that made dull records.

Pink Floyd - The Great Rick In The Sky
Bootleg comp of live Rick Wright highlights

Pink Floyd - BBC Archives 1970-74 (bootleg)
Apart from a horrible slow blues this is still sounding pretty fantastic. Can't imagine the 1974 DSOTM could be sounding much better than this in the new 2 disc edition. You can hear the Wish You Were Here sedative-hypnotic sound map emerging in this performance. On the border between stately and comatose.
