Shirley MacLaine EP?!
Date: Tue 19 Mar 1996 - 15:59:21 PST
Well, butchies...
the hippest record store in eastern Iowa (ooh-- there's a recommendation,
eh??) even has a regular divider for jbc, so that's something... but the
latest find there was an ep titled 'shirley maclaine' (and recommended for
the incredible pepto-bismol artwork of shirley and tenderly contrasting green
lettering! yum!).
Anyway, the "liner notes" (i.e. the small paragraph of type on the back of
the cardboard-only,-not-even-a-jewel-box cover states:
"This EP is dedicated to Maynard F(sharp) Crabbes in appreciation of his
dedication to advancing the cause of the jazz butcher in australia."
So, she asks herself, is this an Australian import EP that I was lucky to
find?? (for only $6.95, no less?)
Great version of "she's on drugs," too, by the way-- one which I had
despaired would never find outside of vinyl!
Is there any way to get eighties butchie on CD? Sorry for the neophyte
question, but I've been out of the scene since heartbreakingly missing jbc in
Hamburg in 1985. Yeah, it's been a while... but I miss those early LPs now
that I retired my record player! (And I miss pat's voice-- it has a mainline
to both my heart and my imagination!)
Thanks for keeping up the list!
And what's this about Pat playing with Love and Rockets?? ("Ball of
Confusion" is second only to "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" in the world's best
song list!)
Told you I hadn't been around the block yet...
cheers to all of you!
