White Rabbit is putting together the most amazing catalogue of music (and more) books

Looking forward to Hungry Beat as quite a few characters in it will be familiar from my growing up in Glasgow but I also want to read that Foghorn book as it had some great reviews tho my fave so far has to be Ten Thousand Apologies the story of the Fat White Family

Tim Page: The Clash Under The Westway Overpass Notting Hill (1982)

Buy Blotter Variant 

"What do you say about The Clash? This was in 1982. Such is my exposure to music. These are my offerings about music. I got a call out of nowhere to come to their practice studio when they were doing Combat Rock. They had a manager called Kosmos Vinyl. I met them at this pub, and we went over to their studio and Joe Strummer just gave me a big shopping bag -- I hadn't heard their music -- a full shopping bag of all their EPs and their LPs, and a biiiiiiiig, big lump of hash. Then they played about 4-5 numbers from Combat Rock and said, 'Can you come on tour with us?" and I said, 'I'd love to.'  

I didn't know really know who they were. Then they said, 'we'd also want to buy a bunch of your images to project onstage during the tour.' So I went 'oh fuck. yeah.' and then the till was ringing again. I went on tour with them through France. It was sex, drugs and rock and roll. It was pure fucking insanity. It was all a lot of fun. Then I did two or three concerts in the UK. If you're not quite sure what fucking day it is because you're so fucked up. You're back on the coke just to do another performance, then you've gotten so involved since you're backstage. 

I'm looking after bimbos, I plan on taking pictures, but I'm struggling to make sense of my life because of drugs and alcohol. It was a great time, but it was a totally gonzo tour. I had no idea who the Clash were. Then at the time they had just launched this incredible album Combat Rock. So it was a real treat to go on tour and shoot pictures for them, and have my pictures projected. Jesus. What more could you want?"

Hot Chip (ft. Cadence Weapon) - The Evil That Men Do

OK let me just say that Hot Chip have never really grabbed me perhaps as it was my kids who played them first around the house and to be honest they played a lot of stuff that didn't have that certain 'something'that I need in my music. I could admire their pop cleverness but...

I said as much on Facebook a couple of years ago if not more and an old old London friend of mine said to me to REALLY listen to them. Now I take Mark's recommendations seriously as there are probably quite a few records in your collection that he produced or remixed 

But nah I still didn't get them and then this dropped two days ago and is stunning

This certainly has that something...

Whatever that something is

80s Syndrum Roots (Live & Learn Special)

Spotlight on Delroy Wright and his Washington DC-based Live & Learn label. He started off as a producer in the late 70s following the footsteps of his famous brother Hyman (Papa Life) Wright who run the Jah Life label and shop from New York. Both brothers had strong link-ups with JA producers like Junjo Lawes, Linval Thompson, Al Campbell and many affiliated artists and regularly travelled to Kingston in the 80s to book out studios (mainly Channel One) and run sessions. Whilst Jah Life stuck to Roots Radics and Junjo, Delroy was more experimental and diverse, with stand-out artists like Don Carols, Junior Reid, Al Campbell (behind many of the arrangements/compositions), Jr Brammer (AKA Trinity), Michael Prophet and Winston Hussey. This mix focuses on the mid/late 80s productions with heavy use of syndrum

Mark Stewart & Maffia - Live at Kingston Polytechnic & Bristol (1982)

This was the first time I caught Mark after his Pop Group days apart from a couple of CND rallies in London where he performed Jerusalem accapella and this was certainly also the London(ish) debut of the Maffia. This was the Creation Rebel line up of the Maffia with Adrian Sherwood at the mixing desk and it goes without saying that this was Kingston upon Thames as opposed to Kingston JA. I was kindly invited by my friend Richard Thomas (ex Fall manager and current Laugharne Weekend promoter) to the gig, who had given me some time before a Townhouse Studio cassette dubbing of the tracks that would appear on his Jerusalem 12" as well as the New Age Steppers version of High Ideals so I knew what to expect. Not at all sure of the exact date of this but on November 12th 1982 Mark also played at Trinity Hall in Bristol so I'm guessing either side of then. I have never heard that Trinity Hall recording and would be grateful if anyone has it  to share

Repost 

...and a (partial) recording of a gig in Bristol from 1982 has come my way. Mark wishing the audience a merry christmas suggests it's not from November. Oh well...at least these two recordings of the Creation Rebel version of the Maffia exist
