♪♫ Rip Rig & Panic - You're My Kind of Climate (7" Version)

Neneh & Andrea in London last week

One of the greatest live bands. So many memories...solo Springer performance in York Cathedral, bunny hopping in a van being driven by Neneh around a Manchester car park, the night of the souped up speedy brain cells at the Primatarium in Kings X. The late and very lamented Sean Oliver (and our endless conversation about which jazz album was the best: he went for 'A Love Supreme' while I could never get past 'Spiritual Unity'...just wish that I still had all those live recordings I made of them. Oh well!
If you don't know them go out and buy the remastered and expanded editions of their three albums out now.

Robert Calvert and Dave Brock’s Revolutionary Chit-Chat (1977)

Very kindly recorded by Mark Patterson. This is the recording of Robert Calvert and Dave Brock’s “revolutionary chit-chat” on Tommy Vance’s Friday Rock Show, June 18, 1977. In Mark's words "I recorded most of it, only missing Tommy’s endorsement of ‘Quark..’, and reading from the LP liner notes, right at the start. It’s strange hearing it again after all this time. As usual Robert is very perceptive and prescient; recognizing HW as a proto-punk band in the middle of the ‘77 ‘New Wave’ music explosion, and wary of uk talents being diluted in the “backwash of American culture.” Interesting stuff." Many, many thanks to Mark for this.
