Late autumn afternoon , light slowly fading into night …..seems the best time to share this piece of music . It has haunted me for years ….

The Velvet Underground - The Best Of
From 1989 this beauty has a majestic tracklist and retains a place in my heart . Classic after classic and in strict chronological order , just as it should be ….❤️🖤 CD pictured but it was also on vinyl .

Nina Simone - Sugar In My Bowl
There are myriad Nina compilations in the world , from cheap cash ins to deluxe boxsets , but this 2CD effort from 1998 is one of the best , focussing on her legendary years at RCA . The Dylan covers are particularly sublime …

Orange Juice - the Very Best Of
1992 was the year for this one , a fine selection indeed . Close inspection reveals no less than 5 picks from the 6 track “ Texas Fever” EP/Mini LP , the quality was high for that gem .
Yet again : never available on LP 😢

It’s all the strikes when , sorry if , he is ever PM that I am looking forward to , the country will grind to a halt within months and he’ll be gone very soon thereafter .
Bring it on .

Interviewer : “I know that he’s left the band now but he appears on this album . Guys , Why did you replace David Crosby on the cover with a horses head ? “

Chris Hillman : “Well , they wouldnt let us use its ass “

I’m at a loss to remember where exactly I bought this CD but it’s never been issued in the UK , only Australia . It came with a bonus live CD and is the only Go Betweens compilation to span both phases of their career . ❤️🖤10/10

Talking Heads - Popular Favourites .
October 1992 . This is a masterful 2CD overview and it’s the version worth getting , a skimpy 1 disc effort was released the same day but “Heaven” wasn’t on it , plus this was only £3 more and is more than double the length . ❤️🖤

Tom Waits - Beautiful Maladies
This 1998 comp draws exclusively from Toms (Wild) years at Island Records and the focus is mainly on his Holy Trinity of 83 - 87 albums , each one a classic . Brilliant collection and another that’s never been issued on vinyl ❤️🖤

This worlds depressing enough , but to see Kasabian get so many votes , it’s disheartening.

Went out and raked the leaves up earlier , it’s a shame , such lovely colours … 🧡❤️🤎💛💜🖤
