I've returned from a short holiday to find two posts attacked- a DMCA notice and removal for Friendly Ghost by Harlem and the Manics track removed from my Mediafire folder (possibly by Ctel from Acid Ted), so I'm not posting artist's names and song titles as post headings any more, in a cunning bid to foil the DMCA search engine.
Whilst visiting mid-Wales we found out several things. It's very lovely. When it rains, it rains heavily. Aberdovey has a nice beach. Aberystwyth is a great little town, and has many things to do though possibly not 1001. Machynlleth is a funny but great little place, half Welsh speaking, half hippy, left-field community, and is unpronouncable with an English accent. But it does have a record fair, which caused E.T., 7 years old, to say 'here we go again' when I pointed out the signs proclaiming 'Record Fair Here Today' and whooped. Results- the first Scott Walker solo album, 1967 pressing, good nick, £3.99, and the soundtrack to the mucky 70s film Emmanuelle, £3.00. Thought it was worth a shot. Ahem.
I listened to Scott last night, havn't heard it for years since I borrowed it from a friend on cd, and it sent me back to this 1966 Walker Brothers B-side, After The Lights Go Out. A wonderful piece of dramatic 60s pop, with some great lyrical touches that plant it firmly in reality. Cracking song.

Bargains! Am partial to both. Hope you'll post some of the 'Emmanuelle' musics?
ReplyDeleteI'll try to get round to it Davy. Not sure under which circumstances I should first listen to it.
