Juke Jules SUBS 4th Sep 2021		Book Josiane Balasko - Le Pere Noël Est Une Ordure (1986)	"Father Christmas is a turd" was written in 1986 as a play script by Josiane Balasko who turned it into a play in which she acted, in 1979.

Juke Jules SUBS 28th Jan 2020		Book Mack Reynolds - Home Sweet Home 2010 AD (1984)	Sounds feasible, but I don't understand the World of books like yr Honourable I /do have one though (a book), it's called BCP revised 1662 though it may be a more recent reprint. Must see if I can find it
Juke Jules SUBS 17th Dec 2019		Book Poul Anderson - A Midsummer Tempest (1975)	"number in isbn13 field should be deleted" You should have said!
Juke Jules SUBS 30th Aug 2019		Book Various Authors - The Electric Muse (1975)	Of course and invariably, you are right pp, but there's such a can of worms waiting there I'm not venturing in. We have 10 Methuen publishers listed there, none of them linked, only one not_UK and none International. Job for someone with ambitions of Divinity I'd say Anyway, the associated record has been entered as UK
Juke Jules SUBS 2nd Jul 2019		Book Peter Alex - Who's Who In Pop Radio (1966)	Happy to oblige (just the once for this correction request (submitted in triplicate) :)
Juke Jules SUBS 20th May 2019		Book Eddie Piller - Modzines (2019)	I don't have a copy but there was an enthusiastic interview with Eddie Piller on the Janice Long Show on Radio Wales, Thu 25 Apr 2019. I remember he chose several records including Brother Louie He also did an interview with Lauren Laverne on BBC 6music Fri 26 Apr 2019 where he chose Skinny Pelembe and others, and I thought I also heard it mentioned on Radio 4
Juke Jules SUBS 15th Aug 2017		Book Brian McFadden - Rock Rarities For A Song: Budget LPs That Saved The Roots Of Rock 'n' Roll (2015)	Review A lovingly researched book which should appeal to all 45catters! Brian's enthusiasm for the hidden treasures on budget labels comes across clearly and he has unearthed the entrepreneurs and artists behind many of the best examples. Brian continues to research his subject and welcomes contributions from other knowledgeable collectors, which promises a symbiotic alliance with 45cat and its Worlds. I look forward to his forthcoming book on R&B budget albums. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Juke Jules SUBS 23rd Feb 2017		Book Various Authors - Recorded Jazz : A Critical Guide (1958)	Written in response to the appearance of many historic jazz recordings on the new vinyl LP and EP formats, the book concerns itself only with what might be termed 'Classical' or Traditional Jazz. The authors choose not to include the "Swing Era", and profess no interest in the (then) Modern jazz forms including "Cool" and Bop. The body of the book is a catalogue by artist of tracks available in the UK, with notes on each artist, and an artist index "Used in conjunction with Rex Harris's Pelican A247 - Jazz - the book will prove extremely useful to the enthusiast and student for elucidating obscure points regarding personell and dates of performance, and for general information" The rear cover mis-credits the photos as "Bennett" (clearly Rust) and "Felix Fonteyn" (presumably Rex Harris)
Juke Jules SUBS 7th Dec 2016		Book Richard Goldstein - The Poetry Of Rock (1969)	I hope you critiqued the book rigorously. I made my own comment on one of his passages in a post to 45cat several years ago

Juke Jules SUBS 10th Nov 2015		Book Tom Wolfe - The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (1972)	The Test was an experimental account of Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, written by a turned-on former journalist
Juke Jules SUBS 10th Nov 2015		Book Richard Goldstein - The Poetry Of Rock (1969)	Review Goldstein prints the lyrics, some with comments and others without, of 71 classic rock/pop records from 1952 - 1968. 'Classic' means that they would be known to all collectors of the period, even if they are not more widely known as 'oldies'. Each chapter is prefaced by a mise-en-scène for the genre. This covers the period of strutting on the street, followed by the turned-on Acid Heads era of love, flowers and peace while the world was 'hanging on in' through the thread of Mutually Assured Destruction and young Americans were fighting a vicious war in Vietnam Only one or two of the records were not released on 45s, for example Koeeoaddi There by the Incredible String Band, of which Goldstein writes: "To read this lyric is to feel in the presence of dozen dewy-eyed children who have been asked to construct their own cosmology" 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
