Music lover for whom sound causes intense pain, so I don’t listen very often. Spend most of my day reading old crime novels.

I totally understand that, I hope you get to see him

Thinking about it, it’s probably been 15 years since I last saw him live. So it might be worth trying to find some recent live footage before travelling halfway across the country. He’s in his 80s now

I’ve seen him a couple of times, it would be worth it!
When I saw him, quite a few years ago now, it was locally. It might be worth checking if he’s touring anywhere near you

It’s a great label, my only criticism is that there’s usually very little information about the music. But the music is excellent and that’s what counts

Bargain!
I have the same album but the French version with a plain black cover and white writing.
Sides 1&2 are also well worth listening to 👍
