chrisp65 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I don’t know any of them, but that made me smile. That looks like a decent holiday. Jealous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I didn’t do it purposely but it turns out every one of them has a link to California, either the artist was born there or the band formed there etc. Sons of Champlin was Bill Champlin’ s band years before he joined Chicago. Karla Bonoff is an excellent singer songwriter, Ronstadt covered her songs many times. Plus there are a couple of Beach Boys related and a tasty Buckcherry lp released on vinyl for the first time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there's that gap between the amp and the speaker that newly bought albums usually get put in but there is no general A-Z on those shelves. Those shelves contain… On-U Sound then General Dub / Reggae then Jazz then Krautrock then General compilations then Film Scores, then electronic / Ambient then the 10” collection then section 1 of the 12”single collection. General A-Z starts in another unit behind me and follows on into the third unit behind the sofa, which also contains the rest of the 12”single collection and all my 7” singles. Should more space be needed I can remove the 7” singles because they are in heir own dedicates crates anyway Edit: There’s also French 60s and 70s section in there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've recorded music in the same studio that one of the members of Les Big Byrd own. Solid band and Joakim Åhlund is a brilliant musician. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an SACD issue too. Here's a different flavor of European jazz. I wonder if our resident Swedes are familiar with this album. My dad used to play it in the car on 8-track tape when I was a kid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I don't see him much these days what with all their touring and with the friend I got to know him through having moved to Åre. Last time I saw him was when they played in Karlstad a while back. Used to have a tattoo of his, the word Bacon on the sole of my foot made at an afterparty maybe 9 years ago It faded away due to wear.

bickster Posted January 27 Moderator Share Posted January 27 Another compilation, another country in another era. This time Belgium in 1986 Crepescule Collection Volume 2. A compilation of artists on the Disques du Crepescule label who had a hook up with Factory Records prior to Factory Benelux. One of the founders of both labels was Annik Honare otherwise famous for being Ian Curtis' other woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
