Hi there, hope all groovy. Pretty good here, the teen managed to get back from Reading festival at 8am on Monday, burn free and alive. He ate just five plain bagels the entire weekend (that's Thursday until Sunday night), heaven knows what he actually drunk, but whatvere it was he's still sleeping it all off.
As promised last week there is a new Trunk LP released just to the mailing list today. It's the lovely unreleased music to the John Schlesinger 1971 film Sunday Bloody Sunday. Read all about this important film here. Music is played and performed by Ron Geesin, with a bit of help from Bridget St John. The reason Ron Geesin got the job of scoring this post Midnight Cowboy film is because Schlesinger had seen a BBC documentary called "Shapes In The Wilderness" all about art therapy for soldiers suffering from shell-shock. He loved the music and wanted the same composer for his new film. The composer was Ron. And the great news is that the "Shapes In The Wilderness" music is also on this new LP. As is the unreleased score Ron wrote for the 1980s Channel 4 doc about Viv Richards! So, three scores for the price of hardly any (Just £19.99 right here right now).
Here is Daniel Day Lewis in his film debut in Sunday Bloody Sunday scratching up cars. And here's Dot Cotton in the same film.
I'm now off to Spitalfields record fayre (disguised as a prog collector today), and then to the warehouse to start sending off the new LP as people were buying last night when I hadn't even told anyone it was up for sale.
Thanks for listening as always. Or as Ron Geesin always says, "best waves"
