It is, spot on, hope Andrew doesn't mind me posting it! I sniffed at the Blue Note post the other month, I have a few copies already, but they're a little tired. And those Tone Poets are lovely.

Mojo review by Andrew Male of In The Wee Small Hours.

Oh my, reading this review by @andrewmale.bsky.social has done me no favours! :) No, I said a few weeks back. No need. I have a perfectly decent copy. Listening to my crackly copy I'm thinking, I have to buy it. Jeepers though, what a fine album.

I would love a coffee table book of people sitting down. Authors, musicians, scientists, I won't mind. Looking up Francis Lai on discogs is always a treat!

My favourite listen at the mo is Vic Godard's What's The Matter Boy. Reading Rockin Bob's Television Personalities article and an Ed Ball/ Times article in Shindig! I'm very much gonna have to travel that road next.

I make no apologies, I love a Mark album. Could possibly be the oddest record Immediate put out. Bless 'em. Happy to be a part of the industry of human happiness. Except, of course, if you're expecting to get paid!

One of my favourite articles in a magazine this year was the psych/hip hop piece in Shindig! (it got angry letters if i remember). Some albums i was familiar with, some not. From a couple of years back, this got a mention. I play this a fair bit.

YouTube video by Ricky Nelson - Topic It's Another Day

This made me look up an album I saw in the charity shop I'm now going to pick up. From the opposite end, you could say, from 77. Just had a listen. Quite wonderful.

96 was a great year. Though I think those couple of years after produced some great albums, albums i still listen to.
