There was also a very psychedelic brew being whipped up in the Flying Out basement on Record Store Day with Billy TK and band.

Hats off to Mark Beesley and Jed Town – playing songs from the Ghost Town 'Sky Is Falling' LP at Southbound Records last Saturday (Record Store Day).

And the back cover of the Blerta LP with names blacked out (it is the copy with the Taste records sticker)

You wouldn't treat a record the way most people treat cassettes, he observed.

...but, oddly enough, I think the vinyl still has more of a bottom-end kick.
Mea culpa. Can we fix it? Yes we can! I just remembered that I digitised that some years ago using my 40-year-old Connoisseur…

Fyre I bid you to burn...
Welcome to Festerville!
It could have been OK if you were into it, the "cultural moment created from an alchemic blend of music, art and food" it was promoted as.
Instead the festival, supposed to start on Friday (NZT) has descended into chaos and…

If those tracks exist – the Renee ones – they are likely out in West Auckland at the EMI vault. The person who knows that vault best is Chris Caddick.

Shit..,., that inside track just killed me.
Up there with all that eighties goodness the Hulamen ,Low Profile and Beat Rhythm Fashion. Good times at the Gluepot and hearing loss which I probably don't regret as much as I should.
cheers for that Russell.

She did the original vocals on the "This is the life" album, which has the brilliant illustration of the bus on the cover (by, I think, Fane Flaws)

Geyer did the guide vocal?

Understandable – thanks for elaborating !

'Listen to the band, just listen' has Somebody stole my thunder .. I think that is a band members girlfriend on the front

And the Tasteful cover is great, esp the back cover ... it features 'keep on pushing' which might work in some…

Last time around I posted the Blerta cover (there is at least one tune on that which could be played out), and this time I was curious if anyone included Headband (for the drum heavy ‘laws must change’) or Quincy Conserve (for ‘ride the rain’, ‘somebody stole my thunder’ or…

I noticed there were lots of generic black sleeves in your landscape photo, but your post has clarified the exhibition is about records not just covers & I think its probably the case that various dancefloor friendly numbers were pressed on tight budgets which didn't extend to artwork ..

Yeah, in…

Maybe Steve might put the Gorgonzola tape (SQ002) up for listening as well

And that was recorded at Rosslyn.

These guys were well ahead of the curve – a complete works is called for IMHO.

I reckon.

Steve said he couldn’t believe how good it sounded when he went back to it. The key, he thought, was …
…the Vegetables!
The Vegetables hold the key…

One of my favourite tracks off the squirm songs tape was ’Veges’

Jonathan Demme died this week. Alongside his feature films, he also made this video for New Order's 'The Perfect Kiss':

Just playing that remastered micronism track and it's making everything on my desk vibrate. Nice work, Chris Chetland!

Russell Brown

A further note: one thing I recall about Steve at the time was that he had very firm views on the proper storage and treatment of cassette tapes. You wouldn't treat a record the way most people treat cassettes, he observed.

great to hear Inside Track again, my copy (along with the Export Lamb 7'' in the brown paper bag) was sadly rehomed. Hosting parties back then threatened more than your carpet.

Yay for re-releases. I will always remember Inside a Quiet Mind as the soundtrack to a drive through the Buller Gorge after The Gathering one year. Awesome reflection of the NZ bush.
