This
month’s feature CD (previous
months’ picks)
A Little R&R – Red and Rupert is a CD
I apparently played some harp on – hence I received my complimentary
copy in the mail yesterday. I do vaguely remember the session
too, but I never got to meet either of the protagonists responsible.
So, in the absence of anything we’ve produced, this becomes
my CD of the month. If you suffer from delicate sensibilities,
this is not the album for you, but if you’re looking for some
relief from the terminally serious – i.e. a whole
heap of outrageous and juvenile fun from men who are old enough
to know better, then this comes highly recommended. Ross Ryan
has done a remarkable job of putting it on CD without catching
something nasty

No Thinking – Spectrum
plays the Blues –
Sound Vault
SV0430
The first Spectrum Plays The Blues CD since
Spill was released late last century, the first to
be produced from Mike Rudd and Bill Putt’s Accidental Music
Studio, and the first to be distributed by Sound Vault Records,
No Thinking varies the Spill formula only
slightly, adding to the predictable core of blues tunes an
eclectic collection of covers of tunes by Marvin Gaye,
The Beatles, Elvis Presley
and Hank Williams, to name but a few. Most
of the tracks were recorded at Ross Ryan’s GI Recorders and
Pete Dacy’s Secret Sound Studio, with a couple of live favourites
recorded at this year’s Thredbo Blues Festival. Price from
this website $25.00 + postage listen

Living
On A Volcano –
Mike Rudd & Bill Putt –
Volcano Records VR001

The third most recent of Mike and Bill’s
albums, it marks quite a departure from their previous work.
It’s received glowing reviews and the feedback Mike
and Bill have been getting from Volcano owners is extremely
touching. Featuring lyrics by Mike’s late wife, Helen,
it’s a laid-back, almost ambient album that will hardly
leave your player, especially if you’re the forgetful
type… $25.00 + postage

A
Strange Fantastic Dream – Ariel
–
Rare Vision RVSN-002

Lovingly re-mastered classic Ariel album
on Spectrum’s own Rare Vision label with bonus track
Red Hot Momma. As the Herald Sun’s Pete Best said
recently; “Ariel was to explore Rudd’s progressive
rock ambitions and this was their extraordinary first step.
Tim Gaze was on board with Rudd’s mate Bill Putt in perhaps
their most powerful combination.”

Rock
& Roll Scars – Ariel
– Rare Vision – RVSN-003

Again lovingly re-mastered Ariel album dedicated
to the memory of the late Ariel drummer John Lee, with the
bonus inclusion of the single Yeah Tonight. Some
people think this is the definitive guitar band that Rudd
and Putt had to this point – which is not saying much as it
was the only guitar band they had to this point.
It is true to say that the re-interpretations
of the Spectrum /Murtceps material compare
favourably with the originals, and the superb Abbey Road /
Air Studios sound fairly leaps out of the speakers. $20.00
