A few months ago I commenced a run of early 4AD posts and a few of you blog followers helped fill gaps in my collection, Pedro contributed a selection of fine digital recreations of early Axis/4AD releases, here are his final two. Yes, it does take that long to work my way through rips and files to make blog posts. Thank you Pedro!
As for the music... these are best listened to late at night or early in the morning as the brain certainly needs to feel a little more chilled to appreciate what is going on. It's 6am here in the UK, so I will just leave these here for now. More later......


Two links.... gone in two weeks

Thank you thank you thank you! The rarities that you keep unearthing are just superb (and a belated massive thanks for the recent trip through the 4AD catalogue)
ReplyDeleteThank you for these - my finances never stretched to these two nor many of the many other obscure and arty Wire related releases - that's even if I could have ever kept track of them. The first three Wire albums still do it for me.
ReplyDeleteIt's my birthday, it's my birthday...no, really it is, so that was a nice set of posts to wake up to....thanks
ReplyDeleteI can't thank you (and Pedro!) enough for all of the 4AD posts. I was a collector of all things 4AD for many years--basically until Ivo sold it--but I never had the money to go back and fill in some of the obscurities from the back catalogue (and still don't). It's great to hear these at last. Thanks for all that you do, and I hope you'll come across some more 4AD treasures to share again soon.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see more from Messrs. Gilbert and Lewis. "Whilst Climbing Thieves Vie For Attention" by P'o would be especially welcome. Thanks to you and Pedro for these gems. I just dropped some coins into the ESWA tip jar today.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonder
DeleteI have the cd reissue of the P'o album. Will add to the queue of stuff awaiting posting.
I have both of these but I, too, would love to have your P'o cd. Thanks,

I have most of the early '80s Gilbert & Lewis back catalogue already myself, but introducing more people to their work is a noble endeavour. I've always been a huge Wire fan, but I think I might have even more affection for the first two Dome records...
