Hi Rod, I've been listening to both versions of the death and resurrection of Christ that you sent me. Thanks again for that and indeed the rather splendid Penderecki at 80 collection. Reason for the mail is that I can't seem to find any details online regarding the version conducted by the man himself. Do you have any? Just my curiosity is all. Hope all is well. Best Dave H.

I didn't know it either, just Googled the name. I would have posted a link but I'm afraid that's beyond my abilities on a phone. Still it's one way for @Lowlife… -

Not bad considering it doesn't cover any of their good material, if what the article alludes to, no Gabriel or Hackett co-writes included. 500 million spotify plays for In The Air Tonight. That's mad.

Mark is a lovely chap and a great musician as well as label boss, gig promoter etc and former record shop owner. I'm sure he'd appreciate if you took a look at his improv and "lowercase sound" releases. No, I'm not on a retainer ;-)
And related to the above good news from Another Timbre. If you like "Post-Minimalism" and sparse almost ambient new composition I can recommend the label in general and the Apartment House band in particular.FLASH SA…

He was basically hanging around waiting for someone to say "Aren't you Rger Dean?" Not sure why he was in the shop, maybe waiting for a local friend. (This was S,e, London about 15-20 years ago.)

Where did you get that date from Peter? It was released June 1973. I had Roger Dean in "my" shop once. He was looking at the pervy stuff on the top shelf and waiting for someone to ask "Aren't you Roger Dean?"in Favourite Rock Albums from the late 60s and early 70s Comment by djh August 2022
(Quote)Great stuff by a band receiving a lot of plaudits now they've decided to call it a day. Such is life.Meanwhile a re-issue(Quote)Call of the West was my favourite new album one year I was at college, never delved into the others much, I should try again.(Quote)

That's a nice album, of course I spent lockdowns doing the same local walks in SE London.

Seconded! What a top morning listen. Thanks for the heads up!
