Hello. I hope you are well. I was supposed to send out information about the #50pFriday album this morning, but due to a series of “fatal errors” on the back end of Greedbag we now have the #50pFriday album this afternoon.

It's called Folk Jazz, and is a rarely seen West Coast album of charming, wistful folky numbers covered in yes, a jazz stylee. So songs like “Black Is The Colour Of My True Love’s Hair” and I reckon this is just about perfect for this time of year, what with the odd bit of sun and flowers that are blooming everywhere. The album can be found here.

Also, over the last few weeks there have been some issues (again!) about access to Greedbag stores – not just my store but others such as Ghost Box too. We have found that various updates were done to Greedbag’s set up, and as a result, some old browsers do not work with the new system and settings. Here is a short list of browsers that do not work and to use proper internet jargon are “not supported” anymore:

safari 7, IE mobile, android 4.4, IE 11 and java 8

So if you have one of those, it will not work with the online software, so might be an idea to update it.

I went to the Spitalfields Record Fayre this morning and bought a Nimbus Supercut pressing of Breakfast In America for a tenner. Mental. It was made especially for readers of Practical Hi Fi magazine. Apparently Nimbus got ICI to supply the purest wax they could for the pressings too. How fascinating. I will be playing it loud tomorrow morning, wearing a pinnie and serving pancakes with maple syrup to the wife and kids.

And if you are up for an ice cream this afternoon, check the unusually named van that stopped in our road a short while ago. It can be seen here.

Thanks for listening

Jonny
