Rediscovering old stuff...

Playlist
Various - iPod on Shuffleplay
Me - Probably too many old recordings on discs from the attic
Various - Now That's What I Called Music 1959-1977

Up stupidly early...

..and, after updating this, spent the majority of the day listening to old music...

Firstly, I was looking for some old WAV tracks used in recordings made with Ian Sclater back in 2005 and was sure I had them on a DVD somewhere so brought down a load of spindles from the attic and went through them all...

Found a goodly amount of old forgotten CBQ recordings, many Ian Sclater backing tracks and stuff but not the things I was looking for...

Then, I got caught up in updating my "Now That's What I Called Music" collections, basically compiling new supplementary discs featuring tracks acquired since the original versions were put together back in 1999...

This is a collection of CDs containing hit singles and (from 1970 onwards) personal favourites from the music I actually bought...

I managed to work through from 1959 to the end of 1966 but it took a lot longer than I'd thought it might...

Possibly the very definition of what some might call a wasted day...

Not to worry, once again, this is how I waste my time...

In the evening, took a break to watch and enjoy "Inspector George Gently" before getting some packing together for our trip to Italy, which commences tomorrow even earlier than I was up today...

Highlight of the Day : Rediscovering old stuff....

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!
