Bill Fay. My hero, my confidant, my teacher, my inspiration… what an astonishing blessing to have found you, and to have known you. I miss you already my dear, dear friend. 💔
Lovely collection of Bill Fay’s early rarities that so deserved this reissue.

I was excited about the first disc of the seven unreleased Springsteen albums just released… but it’s 2 & 3 that I am totally enamored with.

Ever put on one of your favorite songs and have it blow your mind even more than it did the 3000 times you listened to it prior?

Both Bill Fay and Nick Garrie showed up to sessions for their first albums and were horrified to find full orchestras. Both artists were forever disappointed with the over-production. Some of Nick Garrie’s most beautiful songs were made peppy and grand when they could have been stark and emotional.

this album is brilliant and beautiful, sounds new every time I put it on. Gerry Leonard is an unheralded master.

I’m stuck in England, which tbh, is fine with me. Flight cancelled because Heathrow is on fire, then went to Dishoom in Shoreditch where they couldn’t seat anyone because fire alarms shut their kitchen. Off to buy more cassettes. 🪄

The rediscovery of Bill Fay’s music was no such thing, really: he lived long enough to see the world discover him for the first time. He’s like Scott Walker for me, I can’t choose individual LPs. He was a visionary in the true sense. When you’ve heard all his records, you’ve heard one of them. RIP
