Today, up just after six...

...and to adding the acoustic guitar recordings from last night to the songs...

Hmmm...

Catching up today on the Random Record of the Day project, with these...

Roy Harper - quite possibly his best album - "When an Old Cricketer Leaves the crease" with the brass band is beautiful...

Yes' sophomore LP - thought whilst playing that it'd be nice to hear a remix with the orchestra excised...

Brian Eno's "Music For Films Volume 2" which came with the 1983 box set of 11 LPs and a 12" EP, "Working Backwards 1983-1973" - which I never had but, at some point along the way, I picked up this LP of rarities...

Today, I recreated it as the "More Music For Films" CD, release from around 2005, has an entirely different tracklisting...

This Robert Fripp LP has never been released on CD either - again I also have a digital "recreation"...

A side of Frippertronics and a side of Discotronics (featuring David Byrne on rather absurd lyrics and vocals..

An Udo Lindenberg compilation from 1976 - I also have the English version - which, again, has a completely different tracklisting from it's counterpart...

Guitarist Dick Wagner's 1st solo album...

The sound is reminiscent of Alice Cooper's around the time (1976-78) - not surprising when the players and producer are almost exactly the same...

The material though is not quite as good...

My fully signed Genesis double LP...

...which is a US pressing...

...on ATCO as opposed to Charisma...

I did not have it signed myself - someone brought it into our shop and I kept it...

Probably worth quite a bit re the seven signatures...

My German copy of Bowie's ""Heroes"" - which includes the German version of the title track...

Bought for 15 marks in Munich in 1979...

Finally, another Fripp LP, "Exposure" which, in places, sounds a lot like King Crimson - and, in other places, doesn't...

Also tonight, the return of "Holby City"...

Rather depressing as they introduced the Corona Virus to proceedings...

Late on, more art perusal...

A day of records then, mainly (and WFH)...

Highlight of the Day : Old records...

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!
