Hard News: Friday Music: Put the band in…, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
and in other breaking news, my faith in ‘the market’ sorting things out has been shattered –
Have to say I was shocked no one else bid on these gems. Maybe everyone was broke from buying overpriced Dylan and Springsteen vinyl at Record Store Day. I should have bid on the Fall record. I sadly only own the German bootleg version with the skip on "The Man Whose Head Expanded."
In other music news, David Kilgour and Sam Hunt have a new record out in just over a week and it deserves a plug here:

Hard News: Friday Music: Record Store…, in reply to Mike O'Connell,
I don’t know what happened to those recordings. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen captured photons from that event – but perhaps someone somewhere does?
Sound & Vision has a cassette copy of 1983 Punakaiki Festival recording from Radio U done by none other than Mr. Blair Parkes.
Meant to visit and listen to it while I was there but ran out of time. Quality appears to be poor so maybe someone else has copies. I had dreams of releasing it somehow as a compilation.
Aside from Stones, it’s also significant for being a rare non-ChCh gig from 25c and a rare documentation of the brief period where the Gordons version II were called Sheep Effect. Also a very early recording of LBGP (earlier than Varsity tracks on Songs From the Lowland tape).

Maybe Blair knows how good the quality is.

Hard News: Friday Music: Christchurch,…, in reply to Russell Brown,
I most certainly did have a moment about TKOP! I hold few records in higher regard than that one.
Two things:
#1. While Tom is originally from Ohio. Siltbreeze and his shop are based in Philadelphia, PA. If he could get some SYTA reissues together the world would be a better place.#2. RE SYTA. As Stu pointed out to me, Kevin Smith makes a guest appearance in the drawing accompanying Russell's interview with the Axemen in RIU which i've always loved.

Amongst all other suggestions RE reading on ChCh scene, I highly recommend Roy Montgomery's "The Scene that Never Was" article that he wrote for Popwatch in mid-90s. Sums things up very well.
Also, if we're talking strange, then surely Ritchie Venus deserves a long mention as being a truly original and out-there figure at that time.
