Not long now until Christmas is upon us with all the present giving and receiving, so in keeping with the spirit of the season I'm going to carry on regardless of weather conditions, alcohol consumption and festive eating by getting back to basic posting. Below is the last in the series of compilations (did I hear a sigh?) for this year with a view to returning to them later in 2019. The volume of views to the posts shows that there is indeed an interest in all of them (some more than others) from you all.
Thanks to you all for your support this year, now lets us see what December has in store for us.
This is the second 12” [Fast Product] Earcom compilation of up and coming "bigger than the sum of its parts" exploration into twitchy pop music, even though we are talking about some pretty tasty adventures here. The Thursdays (whose recorded output seems to solely consist of the two songs contributed here) opener “Perfection” took me straight to the Big Boys (something better than good in my book), while their take on Otis Redding's 1968 posthumous "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" hit is a good curve ball to throw in there, specially without the whistling part and the slowed down dynamics. The songs were recorded onto 8 track and mixed at Barclay Towers in Edinburgh, June 1979. Basczax ("bass+sax”), is probably the most enjoyable stuff on here, "Karleearn Photography" (what's with the spelling?) being the perfect crown jewel it is, if synths and jerky, rhythmic formation flying are your thing. These songs were recorded onto 16 track at Cargo in Rochdale. Joy Division are certainly beyond introductions, so let's just say that these two tracks were part of the Martin Hannett produced Unknown Pleasures sessions undertaken at Strawberry Studios in Stockport. They ended up being officially released on Substance and the Heart and Soul box set.

Thanks for this. Of course there must be some attention to what you post.In this beautiful and cruel world sharing is almost a forgotten verb. Therefeore the importance of what you do. Question: is the cover a picture of your choice or an original?
ReplyDeleteI've been a climber down here in Patagonia and hence the interest.Cheers
Hey Anon down there in Patagonia, the picture or image I use for the posts is a reproduction of the original picture cover for the recorded work. An example of this particular release is available
