It's not often I get REALLY excited about something that drops through my door unexpected, but a pleasant surprise this week has been the new Erin Bardwell Collective album (the name of which escapes me for the moment).
Not only did I get a nice shiny CD of it, but they also very kindly sent me a copy on good ol' fashionded vinyl. Proper solid vinyl too, the sort that went out of fashion in the early 70s. And in an unlaquered sleeve too, it feels like it's straight out of JA, but somewhat delayed.
Musically it's much the same. old school rocksteady, sweet vocals - but with a distinctive English accent - and what sound like authentic era instruments and production techinques.
Retro was never better than this.
