After the legendary This Heat came Camberwell Now … again featuring Charles Hayward, accompanied by Trefor Goronwy & Stephen Rickard and, in 1986, Maria Lamburn. Their complete works can be found on one fine cd (DUP0022) via ReR Megacorp or Locus Solus aka Recommended Japan: "All's Well (The Complete LP, EPs Collection: Meridian, The Ghost Trade, Greenfingers)". Recorded 1982-1986, remastered 2006. Two tracks are missing, though: "Trade winds" and "For those in peril on the sea". But we get a remake of "Splash", viz. "Resplash" (off Sub Rosa's "Myths 1 - Instructions For Survival" v/a compilation), and "Daddy needs a throne" off the "Ritual Magnetic North" v/a K7 tape on Touch.

2012-01-28, 22 o'clox: Charles Hayward @ les Ateliers Claus! The two tracks below are off Hayward's second solo album "A Tribute To Mark Rothko" (recorded 1989, released 1990 on Sub Rosa, SUB CD010-33). The first image above was found here, the second is Hayward playing at Sónar in 2007.

Hee hee hee … wanna buy some mandies? Just out: "It's Zimmerman's World …We Just Live In It (Soft Sounds For Gentle People Garage And Folk Rock Tributes To The Beatnik Bard)" on Pet (cd or lp, cat. no. 009). Amazingly, that most ultimate of Bob spoofs or Dylan imitations, "A public execution" by Mouse and the Traps (Fraternity 1966 - see below), isn't on it. (And neither is the Trashmen's downright irritating "Same lines" for that matter.). Oh well, you'll probably have that Mouse track via that seminal and oft reissued "Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era" v/a 2lp or cd on Elektra (1972), won't you? If not: see below. Otherwise, bar the omission of Dutch Dylan Armand and the 5 Gentlemen track below, "It's Zimmerman's World … We Just Live In It" is pretty flawless. And hilarious, for those maniac mannerisms and how they reflect on both the Bawb phenomenon and the copy and cash in routines that are part and parcel of the pop industry. So go buy it! And if you do not pay, they got computer collectors that'll send you through the ceiling!

Pt. 2 of http://uzine.posterous.com/im-etta-james … I.M. Etta James (1938-01-25 > 2012-01-20).

RIP soul queen Etta James (73) who'd been taken into hospital, suffering from leukemia. Legendary for her recordings on Chess, she had recently released what had been announced as her last  album on Verve Forecast: "The Dreamer" (2011-11-08) - before that she was on RCA Victor. On the reissue front, there's just been a box set on Hip-O Select: "Heart & Soul - A Retrospective" (2011-10), while Kent / Ace have equally launched a number of reissues with bonus tracks viz. "Call My Name" and "Losers Weepers". More on Etta in the next post!
