Calverton car boot finds providing today’s listening…randomly came across someone sharing a cracking fun original track from the Pepsi album, started watching a copy on eBay then randomly found it for 50p. Had no idea on the I LOVE NY track but it was on Salsoul and is a fun disco track. The Euro comp on the mighty but didn’t grab me massively, not super pumping hi nrg, first track reminded me of playing something on my Amiga 🙂

Not pictured as not listened yet - Vangelis’ ubiquitous Chariots of Fire, which was 50p and I’ve never had any real interest in owning despite being a fan of the bearded Greek lord, but ‘s piece in the Music Saves magazine prompted me that I should own it :)

After James - a friend of Music Saves - shared a trailer for the documentary film “Red Elvis” I became intrigued by Dean Reed. Still haven’t watched the doc but picked up this incredible book by Reggie Nadelson, which is an amazing time capsule of a book as she goes travelling behind the Iron Curtain trying to discover who Dean Reed was and what happened to him.

It’s an amazing glimpse of the twilight years of the Communism dream (or nightmare for some living it) and a fascinating portrait of a man of many contradictions.

It’s another one of those great books where I’ve had to fold over pages to go back and listen to stuff, read up on stuff and watch stuff - would love to check out some of the Spaghetti Westerns Dean turned up in and some of music, though obviously the Eastern bloc recordings are difficult to get hold of. Sadly the BBC Arena doc which resulted from the book doesn’t seem to be online anywhere…but the doc American Rebel is and the obviously the new doc.

I found this “aspirational” bit at the end about the Russian kids curious too…

Ha, just came across someone sharing this fabulous bit of Ballard fun…thought it sounded familiar….and what tshirt am I currently wearing?

Funnily enough this also ties in to our next guest for Thursday 25th September…

Back to the motherland (but not quite to the mother mutherfunster land)

Been a while since I’ve been in this old hangout. Obviously vinyl prices affected here, those £1.25 tatty albums are now £4, those £3 albums now £7-£9…absolute madness inside, standing on records and CDs to get through a L shape tight squeeze. Was shut down by the council a few years ago as was deemed hazardous (probably fire hazard) and slowly drifted back to this - definitely worst state I’ve ever seen it.

Amongst many copies of Alison Moyet and oddly 3 copies of Fashion’s second album (was tempted) I ended up with a JJ Burnel album I’ve been curious about since reading about solo Stranglers albums…and the Paul Thin album caught my eye amongst Genesis and Heart albums, with a cover I would have loved in 93, would have been dated by 2003 and 22 years later wonder if it’s come back in fashion. Had no idea who he was, but a barely functioning phone signal in there and Spanish Wikipedia entry seemed to suggest possible Eurovision entry and Spanish contemporary pop. Quite how a signed copy of this album which came out end of last year ends up in a shop in Nottingham for £3 is a mystery, but I decided it was worth a punt in an old style Rob’s purchase. Plus it tickled me I get Euroman Cometh and Euroman Pop 🙂

Also photo of 21 Market Street to break my heart. Nice to see Brian Selby’s “plant” is still in fine fettle on the roof.
