His production for Glenda Collins is top notch

Great watch, but also really weird in terms of thinking how strange and distant it seems already, and you get more than a whiff of Thatcherism-era disapproval of Joe's preferences.

two years pass...

Idly turning on Talking Pictures to see what creaky British movie they were showing I happened to catch the the end of Live It Up!, with Gene Vincent, Heinz, the Outlaws etc - and Stephen Marriott as a drummer and also, though I didn't spot him, John (Mitch) Mitchell not as a drummer.

If you don't have the Kenny Gaham and his Satellites' Moondog and Suncat Suites get it, Johnny Trunk reissued it several years ago.
Other than that, I didn't usually find the deeper excavation of his work rewarding. The first things that came out were really the best.

I read Barry Cleveland's book many years ago and was kinda disappointed. It wasn't nearly as technical as I expected, and much heavier on biographical filler.
