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. It was filmed in 1982

Two incompetent volunteers reluctantly work the Christmas Eve shift at the telephone helpline SOS Détresse Amitié with disastrous consequences around Paris

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

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

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.

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)

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"

Book
Various Authors - 45 RPM (2002)
Starts with the quote:
"I vigorously declare that the '45' is here to stay, and let there be no doubt about it!" - from RCA Victor President Frank Folsom, 1949

Six essays on the appeal of the 45, from Charles L. Granta, Eric Kohler, Spencer Drate, Roger Dean, Bob Grossweiner and Art Chantry, illustrated with approximately 350 iconic picture sleeves

I guess this needs a List

Brian Rust - The American Record Label Book (1978)
Review
336pp, detailing approximately as many Record Labels, nearly all from the USA, though details of the major labels are concise.

With biographies and guidance on the dates of releases on these labels; B&W photos for about two thirds of the labels
