Another
cover of a Spectrum song
28.5.04 - Sound Vault stable mates,
the Hornets Trio, have a new CD out, The Suburban Beast,
and they've included an old Spectrum instrumental, Going
Home, at track #11. Actually, I'm playing the album as
I write, and I'm really enjoying it. Maybe we should do a few
gigs together sometime - I believe there might be moves afoot
to do something like that. Hooray! |

No
Thinking master delivered to Sound Vault
28.5.04 - Yesterday, Bill, Jenny and I took the long
way to Sound Vault in darkest West Melbourne and delivered the
master for the No Thinking CD to Sound Vault head honcho,
Adam Johnstone, who promptly half listened to the album before
depositing the master in the Sound Vault sound vault (see
pic).
The revised revision of the revised artwork has just been
e-mailed to Sound Vault and will hopefully pass muster this
time - because the release date is just a few weeks away!
After leaving Sound Vault, we all took a valium and headed on
down to the Basement Discs 10th anniversary party to congratulate
Rod and Suzanne on being the caring and sharing record retailers
they most certainly are - and partake of some wine and nibblies
and talk the talk to the sundry industry players present.
What a day! What a life! |

SPTB's
No Thinking CD mixed and mastered - now to conquer the World..
25.5.04 - No Thinking, the Spectrum Plays
The Blues' long awaited follow-up to Spill, has finally
been completed (bar the art-work), and should be on shop shelves
on schedule in mid-June.
No Thinking follows the
same precepts as Spill in that it's essentially a blues
album, but mixes and matches classic blues songs from Sonny
Boy Williamson and Willie Dixon with output from Marvin Gaye,
the Beatles, Hank Williams and even George and Ira Gershwin.
There are a couple of songs from Mike and Bill to whet the appetite
for an album of originals, including a real oddity in the spookily
biographical I Know There Was Another Man There. As
with Spill, No Thinking features guest appearances,
including: Spill's Mal Logan, Ross 'the Boss' Wilson,
Hammond Combo's Tim Neal, Hey Gringo's Daryl
Roberts, and Living On A Volcano's Enza 'Cadenza' Pantano.
More No Thinking news is inevitable... |

GI
Recorders calls it a day
1) Robbo tells Rob Draper he's not invited to his wedding
2) Mike says not to worry, Rob can come to his wedding
The Fat
Lady sings
14.5.04 - With the callous repossession of the garage
that housed GI Recorders by its rightful owners, Ross Ryan and
Broc O'Connor reluctantly removed all their recording gear last
Tuesday and sobbed a sad farewell to their home-away-from-home
for so many years. Mike managed one last harp session for Rob
Draper (pics courtesy of Ross Ryan) before they closed the doors
for the last time. Ross and Broc are adjusting quite well to
life with their respective families.
