Good mail day. Two new releases from Australia boutique New Wave Video. Kind of scared to watch VISITOR Q again, but I feel like I’ll be more prepared for it now than I was at 20. Also grabbed NUN IN ROPE HELL, so yeah…

Visitor Q

Where’d I get it: Thrifted Why’d I get it: It’s Vince Edwards, star of MURDER BY CONTRACT and discogs said it was funk. On Spotify: No How many plays: 1 Verdict: 4/10. The type of traditional 60s pop that I almost never respond to (unless it’s perverse like Scott Walker). Keep or sell: Sell

Vince Edwards - I Got the World (1969)

Where’d I get it: Record Outlet for $2 years ago Why’d I get it: 70s funk for $2. On Spotify: Yes How many plays: 2 Verdict: Light 7/10. “Rock Creek Park” is the first track and by far the highlight. Definitely can see why it was sampled so often. Rest is just okay. Keep or sell: Sell.

The Blackbyrds - City Life (1975)

Good mail day. Hey, it’s a book edition. The story of one of my favorite bands, New Zealand’s The Clean, as told by band members and people from the scene. I can’t wait to dig into this and listen through their records again at the same time. So many essential Flying Nun books in the last few years.
