carey jeggs 28th Oct 2020 | | CD AlbumIsaac Hayes - Black Moses (2009) | I have the original double LP which I bought when it was first released.In spite of all that cardboard there isn't a list of the tracks in the right order anywhere on the sleeve.However,the opened-out picture of Ike is about two thirds life size.

carey jeggs 28th Oct 2020 | | CD AlbumScott Walker - The Drift (2006) | On last night's University Challenge a fragment of Clara was played as one of the bonus questions about an artist who did covers for 4AD.The team quickly said Scott Walker,provoking Paxman to say,'Thank Heavens we didn't have to hear any more of it.'

carey jeggs 25th Jan 2019 | | CD AlbumScott Walker + Sunn O)))) - Soused (2014) | 'A beating would do me a world of good' he sings on the first track and many would agree after sitting this out to the end.However Walker is one of the great humourists of our age and probably wanted us to say that.Besides,Neil McCormick hated it so he must be doing something right.
Bump the Beaky indeed.
