1972, what a good year...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet – The Best of CBQ 1996-2006
Various - The Greatest Hits of 1972
Klaus Schulze – The Essential Klaus Schulze
Klaus Schulze – Mirage

Having listened over the last couple of days to the newly proposed Best of CBQ, I spent some time early this morning making minor adjustments to the running order and the track changeovers...

Designed a sleeve and wrote up initial credits and printed a prototype...

We went to Patisserie Florentin for breakfast then down into Stockbridge for a look around....

In the Oxfam shop I bought a compilation, “The Greatest Hits of 1972, with hardly a duff track on it. 1972 was the year I discovered music. This is therefore a fine album...

Went on a bit of a spending spree later on, buying some nice new shirts, including a pink one(!) and a couple of pairs of kind of pointy shoes...

They fit perfectly and so I may return for duplicates to keep under the bed until the first lot wear out...

Back home, I ran through the set as best I could considering I’m still under the weather with this cold....

My colds always seem to last a lot longer than normal but that may be because, while I complain about having them, I don’t really change my routines to help get rid of them, continuing to get very little sleep and going out as normal...

Pizza for tea tonight, as we watched Scotland v Spain in the Under 19 European Championship Final. The Scots did pretty well, considering Spain had thrashed them 4-0 earlier in the tournament. 2-1 Spain at the end with the Spaniards nervously holding on for the final whistle – a surprisingly entertaining game...

Watched last night’s “Law & Order” on video, then designed a wee programme for the four upcoming Beanscene gigs, at each of which I will play the same ten song set...

Highlight of the Day : The Greatest Hits of 1972

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!
