#NickDrake
1st came across Nick Drake in 1989 when this 2nd hand tape intrigued me whilst flicking thru racks at Freebird records. Never heard of him (pre-internet) but took a chance for £1.99
The previous owner had folded the Hot Press review inside the inlay. #GoodDay

Never seen this before. Wow.
Can't get enough of the recently released demo version of this grizzly tale (search out the lyrics). Great songwriting.

ROBERT PETE WILLIAMS: I've Grown So Ugly (1961)
The Captain Beefheart cover is better known (and vocally more out there of course) but this acoustic blues number is sweet too. Always nice to revisit the source.

Thinking about the passing of Steve Barrow. His books. Compilations & liner notes on Reggae were top class & lit a fire (a blood & fire even) I didn't know existed in this conformative, narrow minded, the rock & pop canon is all there is white boy. I'm forever grateful. RIP Steve
Boy, do I miss the NME. An album would have to be very highly rated to get an 8/10 in its review. Maybe only 30 or so albums a year got an 8 or higher back then.
ALL 17 albums on this 2 page spread of the current Mojo are given a rating of 4 stars out of 5.

Bob Fosse in Little Prince movie, 1974 had a massive influence on Michael Jackson.
I'm bemused about all these posts about 'no skip albums on vinyl'.
Surely playing a record straight through is all part of the immersive experience of playing ANY album on vinyl. Who actually gets up and lifts the needle to skip a track anyway?

I've started to upload my Velvet Underground press archives to a single space
It's free. Just click below and you can navigate to each month of each year to see what press they achieved.
It's a little clunky at the moment but I'll refine it.

timothée chalamet seemingly references this 1964 bob dylan look at the uk premiere of ‘a complete unknown’
Class clip
Replying to @jimcarrey
Since you'll be leaving Twitter,
I'll never forget you've sang a B-E-A-UTIFUL song cover of Bob Dylan's Don't Think Twice, It's Alright!
As I remember discovering this clip online when I was a kid.
It just reminds me that Jim Carrey has great taste in classic songs like this.🎶
