J.K.S - Ancient Echoes

holy shit!
i just bought a cd by jean claude vannier
he is the composer most famous for the string arrangments on serge gainsbourg's histore de melody nelson.
the cd is called
l'enfant assasin des mounches
and it is sublimely fantastic.
its like an avant garde psycodelic pop symphony
with sounds that are reminicent of
zappa
serge (of course)
ummugumma style psycodelic
free noise
avant garde composing
free jazz
beach boys


it is really really really great

i am happy

My fourth LP copy of Abbey Road. This one's a real nice second pressing on Apple (you can tell it's second print because it includes "Her Majesty" on the back cover).

Roxy Music - Country Life (my second copy. Much nicer copy, almost mint.) & Stranded

Ron Wood - Now Look & I've Got My Own Album to Do

Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells a Story

All vinyl. Used copies, but pristine! I've gotten a bunch lately from this store where one guy recently dumped his collection--he put his initials in small print on the record labels. Other than that, he kept his stuff in top shape. They're like new, even the album covers and inner sleeves. I think it's the same guy who must have given the store that copy of Crazy Rhythms I bought a week or so ago. Why would anybody sell such a nice collection!?
