A slight bias towards reissues this week, as we’ve been digging deep into a ten-CD box set of Philip Glass’ greatest hits and, since they turned up yesterday, neat new reissues of the first six Creedence Clearwater Revival albums.
The Robert Wyatt thing is a single, by the way, which seems to have been driven by Bertrand Burgalat (Wyatt and Alfie contribute lyrics); it’s pretty cheesy French dance-pop, but this remix by Hot Chip on the flip is much stronger. And Terakaft are a feisty and reverberant spin-off from Tinariwen, that I can highly recommend.
But here’s the full list. As John Fogerty has just pointed out, keep on chooglin’. . .
