onion skins of tenderness

Alastair Galbraith Cluster 7inch (Stalemate, Raining here/Pip Proud, Water in my ears) Raffmond, Germany, 1994Water in my ears

There could be no better format for these 4 songs which, once the needle touches the record, end almost before you can step away from the turntable. Just crouch nearby and close your eyes. This record also introduced me to Pip Proud. Thank you and thank you, Mr. Galbraith. (If any of the involved parties would like for me to remove the audio, please let me know.)

New full length on Siltbreeze. featuring this song! Water in My Ears and Raining Here later appeared on the full length Talisman (now reissued)

It's Christmas Time/Happy New Year To You!

It's Christmas Time/Happy New Year to You! by The Qualities, Satur(n) Records, 1956(?)

This is a rare and messed up vocal/doo-wop record produced by Sun Ra and Alton Abraham. Sun Ra plays harmonium. Vocalists are unidentified.

I tried to transfer it, but my efforts failed. However, you can listen to the a-side here.

Happy Holidays to all. I'm going to try to take a break from posting until the new year.

Women of the world, take over, because if you don’t the world will come to an end, and we haven't got long. Women of the world, take over, because if you don’t the world will come to an end, and we haven't got long. Men have had their shot, and look at where we've got.
