I think he did a really good job of explaining the concept - then brought in the artwork, immersive nature of your music (including in a live setting), who you are, “human touch” of the record label when parcelling up an LP etc. Sounds like you’ll be featured in the next-but-one episode too!

This is one of the best pieces of your series - and it’s the “musical heroes of those no longer with us” dimension which is key. That ‘record club’ policy used to apply in my student flat. My flatmate is no longer around but, whilst we had very different musical tastes, records by his heroes are.

I actually considered some “non-representative” gigs for my list. Psychic TV, Madness, Something Happens, Florence & The Machine and Henge might have made that list. Madness and Henge were actually really good - and I don’t own any records by either act.

I would love to have seen Fad Gadget - or, later on, Frank Tovey.

Invariably! Mind you, thoughts then tend to turn to really good songs of theirs that weren’t on that particular LP (or the non-album composition ‘Sugar Tax’ either…)

Somehow I misspelled Will Sergeant’s name… absolutely no excuse for that given I’ve a few #Bunnymen records and read each of his books!

The label I’m releasing via isn’t in this position. There’s a corporate visual style but, for example, @nwcalhoun.bsky.social @cosmicbos.bsky.social & @john-serrano.bsky.social differ from each other (and me) in terms of musical genres quite a bit. @hartshornmusic.bsky.social is the indie label.

Ooh … my version of the #FurtherVerses sleeve doesn’t do this! Amazing what can be done with an accidental photo of the roof of a disused railway station! Thanks for posting about the album Andy - genuinely appreciated :-)

‘Ocean Rain’ is nicely earwormy. The string arrangements for this song definitely enhance the lyrical content and delivery too.
