What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.VIII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 29 December 2011
With 2012 almost upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

On a nice sunny morning for a change.
Myth and legend clothe these Isles in mystery, for they are elusive and said to vanish at the approach of ordinary mortals. Yet sailors have seen them glinting from afar, a green and gold illusion. Warm winds caress them, wrapping sinuous tendrils of mist around their lofty crowns and wafting a delicious scent across the waters, fresh, yet heavy, strong and intoxicating. Thus it is said that incense-bearing trees blossom there, filling the air with the frail, intimate perfume of flowers unseen in the dark.
No man has ever been known to set foot upon their shores, but ships have passed close enough to glimpse, through the enfolding mists, the slender stems of bright trees swaying in the breeze, and near one of the Isles, to catch the lush, overpowering odor of ripe cantaloupes. Men say this island is covered with green leafy green vines, and cantaloupes are everywhere. Nothing else grows, there, and flourishing thus unchecked, the vines and melons attain enormous size. It is said that a mere mouthful of one of these cantaloupes will give immortality to him who eats it.
Gotta love Sixties liner notes.

New double vinyl. Saw it cheap in the Rounder Records closing sale in Brighton so thought why not.
And to finish off this Brucie weekend, one of my favourite ever albums on my original vinyl. Lontano loud.
Cooling off after six hours of intense labor in the Turkish baths of the back yard.

What a great summer that was,
Nice and hot,Finished my exams RAM and this had come out.
Plus a few other great albums that are now all time classics.
Back then you had to sell a few hundred thousand singles to get to number one in the charts.

Being Decca they're probably quality made records,
and great value for money at the price.
