Crispycat Recordings: My name is David and I am a CD-aholic....

My name is David and I am a CD-aholic....

Today I discovered a new way to buy CDs. I go to e-bay, search for “CDs” and up they come, many with less than 1 minute to go till the end of the acuction. I browse the first ten minutes or so and bid for anything that takes my fancy.

You can even choose a category of CDs to browse – it’s just like being in a big CD shop. I am an inveterate impulse buyer – very seldom aware of anything I actually want.

Tonight I bought a CD by Iain Ballamy, original sax player in Bill Bruford’s Earthworks, the latest solo album from Neal Morse, ex-lead singer of nu-prog band Spock’s Beard. And I also managed to win the auction for a copy of Medeski Martin & Wood’s first album.

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
