First LP purchase of 2017. #pjharvey


3/01/16 - Not her best work.

We went to see her at the Thebby around this time (On 19/01/17, according to the internet). It was terribly humid, and she played all the songs from this dreary album, before finishing off with a couple of her big hits. Overall, a pretty underwhelming experience.

Might have to drag this out and give it a play - see if it's improved at all with age.

Found a covered up Condition Red in an op shop in Whyalla. Sadly, it wasn't part of a batch.


30/12/16 - Back in the old days, on the #NorthernSoul scene, if were a DJ with a record that no-one else had, and they didn't know what it was, you'd scribble out the label or sometimes invent a new name for it. This is known as a 'cover up'. I remember watching Jonathan Moore DJ in the 1980s' rare groove scene, and saw that he had continued the practice. Condition Red is not a very rare or unknown tune, but it looks like someone had covered it up, maybe a long time ago, when it was.
