Another Austin Record Show has come and gone. Had a blast as usual...the highlights are always dinner and playing finds at Hotel Loopden.....Thought I'd share some of that experience.....many, many face melters were played over the course of the weekend....missed seeing Harvey but got to meet HCrink.....long and wasted 3 day weekend and am now listening to some Sunday scores and thought I'd share.

First one goes out to NZShadow.....obscure LP from Amsterdam

    Man, my Friday was so incredibly bad dealing with a funeral, a broken down truck, and then a whole separate accident to boot, that going to ARC became an extreme afterthought. Hope y'all had fun wthout me.

    I know a little bit about that Loving Awareness album. The band was put together in the mid-70s by Ronan O'Rahilly, who owned/ran the offshore UK pirate station Radio Caroline, as a means of promoting this quasi-hippy love-and-peace philosophy he'd devised called Loving Awareness. A couple of them - Norman Watt-Roy and Jon Turnbull - were previously in a British funk-rock band called Glencoe, the other two were keyboardist Mickey Gallagher and drummer Charley Charles. Astute readers will by now have deduced that, along with Chaz Jankel and Davey Payne, these four would later be known as the Blockheads, Ian Dury's band. Mickey Gallagher also did a stint as The Clash's touring keyboard player, and it's Norman Watt-Roy whose bass-playing you hear on The Clash's "Magnificent Seven".

    Anyway, I used to listen to Radio Caroline a lot when this record was out, and they played tracks from it constantly. You could only get it via mail-order from the station itself, although it's been reissued a couple of times since. As I recall, the music is superior Dan-esque funky rock with the odd fusion flourish. I was really surprised when I found out that it was two-thirds of the Blockheads behind it.

    LA Area record from 1979. Got a good disco, modern feel to it. Something I've had and not kept. It's typical value is about $30-$40

    Cool...thanks for the info.....I'm digging this a lot more than the Popsike prog-rock description lead me to believe I would.
