long delivery time on that 3 Sept - 6 Dec I suspect those will never appear now and eventually you'll get a cancellation or order...I ordered mine, and got it the next day. ah ok Just had email that mine's been despatched and due for delivery tomorrow...crikey ! Ok, I've just finished this, and I must say I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it. A couple of interesting anecdotes, but you really have to look for them amongst the sheer ordinariness of how people discovered FC. One point of interest - I was amazed by the number of people who discovered FC later in their lives, well after the Farewell Farewell era. Otherwise this is one for the completists only. I was in my late teens when I discovered Fairport, in the very early 80s, so maybe not well after the Farewell Farewell era, but certainly not later in life! I was too young to have ever seen them with Sandy, or even with Swarb (other than as a guest). And yes, many of the stories are 'ordinary', but then many of us are 'ordinary'. I enjoyed reading both books for that very reason. |

Picked up the following at my favorite record store yesterday (Hoboken)
Take Me Back To Tulsa-4 disc Bob Wills collection
Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison (Legacy Edition)
A Bob Seger 2 disc UK imprint that includes some real rarities such as Rosalie, Innervenus Eyes, and Lenny Johnson…not official release but I couldn’t resist
Steeleye Span-Liive At The Bottom Line 1974. One interesting thing on this one is a medley of 3 Irish tunes-Musical Priest, Silver Spear and the High Reel. Well known tunes I’m sure Peter knew but that pairing makes me think someone had been listening to Horslips!
All for $45!

emimusic.com has a number of boxed sets and vinyl records at 30% off - I think for a few more days. Nothing much in the folk/roots/jazz categories, but I've ordered the Peter Hammill box

I'm currently reading Ian A Anderson's autobiography (Alien Water), and when he mentions 3 Mustaphas 3 I am reminded that I never heard anything by them, and I feel I ought to have done.
Matt Steady's sampler is available for free from him. I really like his music - his last album Flight Of The Raven is brilliant. TBH I prefer his instrumental stuff to his songs though.
On topic, while visiting Guildford at the weekend for Al Stewart's concert, I went to the local HMV which is apparently closing at the end of the month. I picked up a few reduced price CDs: the 25th anniversary edition of Buena Vista Social Club, Shirley Collins' Archangel Hill and Dexys Too-Rye-Ay 'As It Should Have Sounded' remix (single CD edition). Also Sheku Kanneh-Mason playing Elgar's Cello Concerto which will do nicely as a present for Mrs Will's Christmas stocking.
