UPDATE FEB 2011

***********************************
DEAR FRIENDS, AFTER RECEIVING FIVE NOTIFICATIONS FROM DMCA, I HAVE DECIDED TO CLOSE MY BLOGS, SO ALL THIS SHARING-LINK ACTIVITY IS FINISHED. YOU CAN READ THE COMPLETE TEXT I POSTED ON MY PILOT BLOG - - > HERE

FOR THE MANY MANY PEOPLE WHO KEEP ASKING FOR RECORDS: I'M SORRY, I CAN'T FULFIL THEIR REQUESTS, IT ALL CAME TO A POINT THAT'S 'S TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME. I HAD TO REMOVE THE 97% OF THE ALBUMS I HAD POSTED ON THE SERVERS. The few exceptions are: the bootlegs and the few studio albums authorized directly by the copyright owners.

FOR ALL THE OTHERS, Cyrus (who wants to buy some of my vynil records), Maxoom, Caroalt, Jiro, Trolley Dolly, Phil (who wants my copies of the COB albums), Marnie (who wants my copy of the original "Ptooff"), XJ64, Antiamnbient, Arman, Nicolas, Rick, etc etc , please WRITE ME AGAIN WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, AND I WILL ANSWER YOU, OKAY?

Last: I RE-UPPED THE FOREST'S LIVE ALBUM FOR THREE PEOPLE WHO ASKED FOR IT, SO IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.

.

No pretention of completeness in mind, this blog sees the light with the idea of filling a good number of gaps here and there, where I notice that certain music that I particularly like is missing in other blogs. Therefore my intent is avoiding posting albums that are present elsewhere. Exceptions are: where I'm reported of dirty record scans, incomplete reissues often remixed and unfaithful to the originals, or when I can offer higher bitrate scans, or also when posting a title is necessary for the completeness of a thread or a discography.


Here you won't find links leading to downloads, whenever the "Link" is featured, the album is available, otherwise, it means "work in progress".... If you want an album, please write me a request in the comment section including your email address and where in the world you visit this blog from.

...and if you don't get an answer from me after a certain time, please write again - I'm sorry, but it's not rare that some emails get lost in outer space, unfortunately...

After seeing that certain people keep using some of my pictures (which are not first class, I admit it, but nevertheless were made originally by me) for their blogs, without mentioning me as the owner, I decided to apply a "watermark" on some of them.

Thanks for existing

NADIA CATTOUSE - same (Reality, 1966)

Prior to recording this LP, Nadia Cattouse appeared on some Parlophone singles, then on samplers like "Edinburgh Folk Festival" (which is NOT a live album!) on Decca 1963, "Hallelujah 66", and on both volumes of the "Club Folk" anthology, made by Pegasus, in 1972 (two separate abums, PS2 and PS 3), so me and other folk hooligans of those years were trying to find any possible trace of this singer, till a couple of LPs surfaced, this one and one on RCA, produced by Sandy Roberton. Strange that no recent "online encyclopedias" quote the existance of this LP, her first, because those (the mid-60s) were times that Nadia Cattouse was often appearing on Radio programs ("London Folk Song Cellar") and on TV with an unknown Martin Carthy accompanying her on guitar; the opening song "Nobody's business" earned a certain fame at the time. This record, catalogue number RY 1001, was the first released on Reality, but the label didn't last long, the sixth album (maybe also the last?) being Trevor Lucas' "Overlander", same year. NC is known for having published two further works, "Songs of Grief & Glory" (1967) and "Earth Mother" (RCA, 1970, partially live).
I prefer the 1970 LP, this self-titled album suffers a bit too much for the presence of loud percussions, sambas and calypsos all around, a kind of "tropical" album, fundamentally... But in so much sweat, all of a sudden, comes an extraordinary and unexpected last song, unaccompanied, a melody that gives you shivers...
I've been always curious to know whether her name must sound Cattooz or Catthouse...? one more item for the dilemma-surname list, like Nyro & others
