pretty great compilation of music recorded for an immigrant worker population in Germany throughout the 70s. Dopes get pretty psychedelic in places. I think I need the Psychedelic compilation that came out on the same label around the same time too.,

eclectic bunch of post punky etyc sounds from American band. I really should pick up some more by these I think . & they do have a new one out this month.

I think this was a cheap compi of Billie Holiday's stuff, probably picked up from an HMV when they were still around Ireland. THis week it has been the 2nd disc of this, which starts off with Strange Fruit and has several other similarly iconic tunes on.
I should be much more familiar with her work than I am. Great stuff anyway.
I find the harmony singing that starts God Bless The Child a little artificial and cloying though maybe it'll grow on me. I'm just somewhat reminded of some very stiff backing singing on a Roy Orbison collection i had on vinyl a couple of decades ago. Otherwise this does seem to be pretty classic throughout.

Right, that didn't work. Was just wondering if it was going to be a more versatile version. may find that that works on the mobile when the alternative option on RYM never seems to show up there.
Here are the 2 covers that didn't show up

I sprung for the Pye Corner Audio black mills tapes vinyl box a month or so ago and have been seriously “caning” it, as they say.

First Pogues lp I could find after reading the James fearnley memoir. I think I have at least a couple of others. I picked up a few in HMV sales a few years ago after missing them live for the most part. I think it is interesting material especially in the light of reading the fearnley book. I was left wondering if people picked up on anything from the band apart from the obvious Irish folk tropes. Like the semi ramshackle stripped down quality or anything . Would be interested to hear unusual sources citing them as an influence.
Do enjoy this stuff in places. Also wonder to what extent Shane Macgowan would have been able to sing if he had looked after himself.
Some very moving music anyway.

THis was disc 22 of the 3cd version of the set. I think I have damaged a couple of discs from this from not looking after it,. So wound up taking this off midweek cos it was sticking.
Otherwise great trippy stuff from the same run that gave birth to a great deal of their original live release Live Dead. I haven't checked if the Dark Star here is the same version as on that I think it's pretty close. This has the full sequence including a longer Eleven than is on Live Dead. Very good one too.
Pretty great around this point, haven't really picked up on the country tropes they indulge in towards the end of the year yet. So still notably psychedelic.

took it off and relaced it with

which is various Beatles covers from various sources a lot previously released and covering quite a lot of genres from different times.

Very good compi of the Latin Soul Brother's 70s work. I was just reading about him being the actual bad boy of teh latin scene since he had actually spent time in jail and stuff.
Bought this in the early 00ies and it gets a little neglected. Shouldn't be cos it is pretty great. Should definitely add to it. May well get taht Fania box set that just came out .
