10,000 CD
2,000 LP

Doubts / confusion about the inclusion of Time Of No Reply though.
Was supposed to be SACD too.

Who knows ? (where the time goes)

 

[Franco]

His first album is called Five Leaves Left no?

We share the same birthday.

I'd go for Pink Moon.

It was.
What a mistake to make!

 

[broken arm]

Smile. Closed now.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

ah nice one Pete.

cheers

 

[Richie]

I think Five Leaves Left is probably his best all-round album in terms of consistency and exploring different styles etc.. Bryter Layter has some stunning songs but it's let down by the shopping channel instrumentals and dodgy arrangements on a couple of other tunes. Pink Moon is the kind of album that you don't feel like playing very often but it nails one particular atmosphere so well that if you're in the right mood for it it's pretty much perfect. Some great songs on the Made to Love Magic comp also- Black Eyed Dog, Clothes of Sand, Joey..

the inappropriately named 'smile records'; owned by one of the grumpiest, most condesending cunts ever to sell a scratched bob dylan record.
he had a whole shrine to nick drake!

Some people got okay with guy - often saw them laughing and chatting with him.
Depends on who you are I suppose.

I bought plenty records off him over the years and never got a smile off him. I musn't have been 'the right type of customer'.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

was this the curly headed fella? i got smiles all the time but never any words at all except one time when he couldnt find the roy harper lp i was trying to buy and he said "cant find it"

 

[I Bleed Black]

Pink Moon, first one i heard and still my favorite

 

[Pantone247]

he was always nice to me

I asked him about the blanket once and he kept me talking for ages, maybe that was it. I sort of miss Smile, it was completely random, but you could find some great stuff.

Amusingly he had a closing down sale towards the end that actually made him so much money he considered not closing down at all

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

i liked it too, it was a nice shop, i miss it*. i remember sending a few texts to people about the closing down sale, i think most of the good stuff was gone by the time i got there. a friend bought a load of late-period incredible string band records which nobody in there right minds ought to buy

I'd go for Five Leaves Left, if just for Cello Song and Fruit Tree. Loved Pink Moon too, but it's such a sad document it's not something you can listen to too often. Always really liked the stuff on Time Of No Reply. I got a really crappy tape of it years ago and always felt like it was something that was unearthed and few had heard. Magic indeed.

That's new there from Osama Van Halen, on the Thumped label. Heard him here many times before of course, some new stuff from him and we'll be hearing more later. Osama Van Halen.

five leaves left for me; it's the one I'd put on most, love the strings. Really love all 3 studio albums really, but i agree with most of what Richie said -
Time of no reply is a good compo too.

 

[jimmybreeze]

Pink moon for me,as an album its just perfect,so short and minimal.Nowt bar guitar and vocals (and the piano on pink moon).It just sounds so fully realised,I dont think there is a thing you could possibly add to any of the songs to better them.*

*Although,I did hear a picked version of place to be,which was as amazing as the album version
