After a couple of weeks away, there was quite a selection of stuff waiting for me when I returned to Uncut on Tuesday, as this playlist hopefully shows. A situation compounded yesterday by the arrival of Neil Young’s fabled first volume of “Archives”.
I’m just starting to navigate my way through the ten DVDs that we’ve been sent, so I’ll post some kind of preview once I’ve tooled around with it for a while. Up to my neck in Buffalo Springfield as I type, though the pick thus far has been the incredibly early first demo of “Sugar Mountain”. Pretty amazing; with a fair wind, I’ll write more tomorrow.
In the meantime, have a look at this lot. My thanks to one of our regulars, Baptiste, who tipped me off about the French jazz tribute to Robert Wyatt, which features Wyatt himself on several tracks – chiefly Peter Blegvad songs, confoundingly.
