Another great Kent LP find in the great southern city. ‘soul Cities’ with liner notes by Harboro Horace, aka Mr Croasdell. Some tunes I knew & some revelations.

From a countercultural campus novel by Ken Kolb written several years prior to the film release, so the political backdrop is kind of different. From the LP & paperback, all too easy to tell the interracial sexual taboo (a small incident in the film itself) was a big selling point circa 1970.

Beautiful copy of the Elliot Gould Candace Bergin 1970 college revolution movie ‘Getting Straight’ Culled straight from the ABC Melbourne library by the looks of it. Some nice commentary on this movie in @pulpcurry.bsky.social edited @pmpressuk.bsky.social book ‘Revolution in 35mm’

Friday film, accompanied by Pizza & Grifter pale ale in the Archie Bunker memorial recliner: ‘Death Rides a Horse’ from 1967. (Yes, I was the only one in the house watching, how did you know???)

Watched ‘The Wanderers’ again, inspired by buying OST. Wonderful, atmospheric, strong cast, great locations & music, strong elements of surrealism. Great on Bronx jitterbugging culture. Tight novel by Richard Price. Tagline: ‘It was the Wanderers against the world… and the world never had a chance!’

Spinning in the kitchen. ‘Keepin’ The Faith’ a 1984 Northern Soul comp I’d not seen before. On Precision Records and Tapes. Found shelved along with punk comps, I think on the basis of the cover design & DIY flyers & dance photo. Concept & compilation by Matt Haywood & Tilly Rutherford.

Started last night. ‘Winter’ by Len Deighton. I know many of you rate this one highly. Been saving it for a rainy day. After this I think I’ve only 1 or 2 of his novels left…

Can anybody out there hook me up with this t-shirt? (Liner notes say models name is Debris.) ‘Rare Soul Uncovered Vol. 2’ on Charly R&B 1986. For a tenner, best value find of the recent trip to the great southern city.
