Richard Hawley's Jukebox
Eclectic
Various Artists (Richard Hawley)
LP £27.00

I’ve called this Little Bangers because the tracks are like miniature musical hand grenades. Each recording contains so much energy and yet they’re all over in a flash: magnesium lights that explode and fizzle out almost as soon as they’ve started. That’s what I find incredibly beautiful about them.
CD £11.70

Folk, Funk & Beyond - The Arrangements Of John Cameron
Eclectic
Various Artists (Saint Etienne)
CD £13.12

John Cameron's arrangements – jazzy woodwind and belting brass – were among the most distinctive and innovative of the 60s and 70s. He played a starring role on hits by Donovan, Hot Chocolate and Heatwave, as well as working on KPM library albums and film scores. Mod dancers, pastoral folk, funky soul - John Cameron mastered the lot.
  

Reflections Of A Golden Dream

Released in 1976,“Reflections On A Golden Dream”, the follow-up to “Expansions”, was his fifth album for Flying Dutchman and featured the core band of the Cosmic Echoes, including his brother Donald Smith, David Hubbard and Wilby Fletcher.
    

Freeze
