32 disk set of Robert Fripp solo albums, remasters, unreleased pieces. Includes 2 bluray disks containing the entire Frippertronics archive - that's 68 hours of "bleeping and droning". One for the obsessives, I think... slightly tempted, but I doubt I'd listen to most of the set more than once. £160, so less than £5 per disk once the (usually excellent) written and photographic content is taken into consideration.
Chuck in a couple of Sunday Lunchtime outtakes and it’ll sell out in minutes. |

Burning Shed are the authorised UK outlet. £250. I am very tempted but it may indeed be more than I can chew in several senses. Can I justify it as a retirement present to myself? |

Great news from Dr Strangely Strange on FB:
Our RADIO SESSIONS CD is due out this October on the Think Like A Key Music label. In our heyday, we recorded only two BBC radio sessions, a Top Gear slot and an In Concert, both with John Peel. Frustratingly, the BBC’s tapes were wiped, but after extensive research with European collectors, TLAK has been able to locate off-air recordings of both sessions, which have been painstakingly restored. Added to these are brief radio sessions for Dutch and Danish radio sourced from the original recordings, as well as a Dublin rehearsal take of Sign On My Mind featuring Gary Moore, our friend and guest on Heavy Petting. The accompanying 24-page illustrated booklet has been compiled by Fitting Pieces To The Jigsaw author Adrian Whittaker.

Interesting. We've already got a rehearsal take of 'Sign on my Mind'. Is this a different one? |

Interesting. We've already got a rehearsal take of 'Sign on my Mind'. Is this a different one?The "Take 1" on the Hux CD reissue? Good question. I've asked... And the answer to the question "Just wondering if this version of Sign on my Mind is different to the additional "Take 1" on the Hux Heavy Petting?" comes back from the band: "that’s what I wonder. I suspect yes." |

I did, but the present Mrs C hasn't been informed yet. It's only the 58th anniversary of your family loading up the truck and moving to Whalley Range once. If she takes umbrage, I'll tell her to be thankful I didn't opt for the £350 option with its numbered and signed poster. 5 minutes later, I've told the deadly beloved. She was quite sanguine about it. I rather think she might be up to something of her own. |

Now I just have to decide if I need the disc. :-) Talking of old radio material and off air recordings, plans are afoot for a large box of Martin Carthy radio stuff. There's been a call out for anyone with old cassettes. That could include me, but my tape collection is in miscellaneous boxes and was never systematically sorted anyway. |

Aye, from Colin Harper...it's a massive box! Last thing I saw from him stated: "I posted here a few weeks back about crowd-sourcing otherwise errant material for a 'Martin Carthy at the BBC' box set. I'm thrilled to say that between BBC holdings, producer-held masters and generous donations of off-air cassettes (late 70s to 90s) from fans that it's looking like a 20CD+DVD project. It will be a colossal celebration of the great man's artistry. 🙏 One thing, though... one of the best concerts in the set-in-progress, to my ears, is a 32-minute broadcast by the brief trio Wood, Wilson & Carthy, on Radio 3's 'Impressions', 4/1/97. We have one imperfect complete recording of this so far, and the British Library seems to have a few minutes of it. Restoration magic will make a difference but I'm hoping someone else out there recorded it... Anyone? 🤔 There is, coincidentally, a Bert connection to the set in that it opens with Martin fronting 'The Trees They Do Grow High'." |
