Katy Moffatt, Walking On The Moon, 1988, Red Moon Switzerland, 88035
This one is dedicated to the "amps tube guru" of Buchs, Switzerland, in the beautiful Rheintal, Bruno Candreia. He is a real master and expert of repairing and restoration of those old tube amps that we all love so much.
Recorded in company with Andrew Hardin May 31st and June 1st 1988 at Tonspurstudio AG, Buchs, Switzerland.
Great voice. Listen to track A6 VanZant/Rossington's "Mr. Banker": the recording studio doesn't exist anymore. Because of the bankers?
Anybody knows?
The CD shown on 1st picture is the US production on Philo Rounder Records.

Pete Brown & Piblokto, My Last Band, 1977, Harvest UK, SHSM 2017
A little bit of rock music history. Remember "Sunshine of your love" and "I feel free".
This is a compilation of songs recorded 1968-1970.
Working with Cream, Pete refined a writing talent conceived under the influence of the American beat poets like Ginsberg, Corso and Ferlinghetti, and nurtured in the heady athmosphere of London in the early sixties. Since those early days with Graham Bond, Jack Bruce, Dick Heckstall-Smith and Ginger Baker, Pete has written in the closest of collaborations with musicians (cit: liner notes on back cover).
Listen to Chris Spedding's guitar and violin work on mono track A4 " The week looked good on paper".
Fine english pressing on famous progressive Harvest Label.
