PROPAGANDA NOW. ’Every day our cause becomes clearer and people get smarter’[1] “One of the most remarkable characteristics of human nature,” writes Lotze, “is, alongside so much selfishness in specific instances, the freedom from envy which the past displays towards the future.” Reflection...

Okay we got to have a bit of Morley

I don't know that one but the one on the back of Jailbreak is like a specific subgenre of liner note, where it's setting up the narrative concept or mise-en-scene of the album What a great group - silly but irresistible

I feel like the Crass records almost reverse the relationship between artwork/liner note and the record. They are like fold-out posters + political pamphlets which just happen to have a disc of music wrapped in it. My younger brothers were into anarcho and I definitely got the sense they were...

I don't think these are lyrics, so I guess they are liner note-like effusions from Patti

I like a fair bit of fusion but I can imagine some Terminal Island inmates deliberately doing something to get themselves thrown into solitary just to avoid hearing that lineup (and playing without rehearsal as well, yikes)

But on the larger subject, there must be droves of these films. I have heard people say that the Dave Clark Five film is surprisingly good, though.

Well I can vouch (having done a book on glam) that the Glitter film is ridiculously bad. As is the Marc Bolan vehicle Born to Boogie (well the concert sequences are exciting but there are lots of Magical Mystery Tour sequences of crap sub-surrealism, including Ringo Starr who was Marc's pal and...

No audio documentation of this that I could find, but.... Flora Purim was imprisoned at Federal Correctional Institution, Terminal Island in Los Angeles, California in August 1974 for cocaine possession; she was given the inmate number 2775. During her year and a half imprisonment from 1974 to...

Oh yeah. After Bad Timing.... well let's be generous after the first 20 minutes of Eureka.... it's a steep downhill slide for my favorite film maker of all time. Insignificance is just nothing.... what I call a "Time Out film", gushily reviewed at the time, barely remembered, leaves not an...

Ah but at this ZTT archival website - https://www.zttaat.com/release.php?item=280 - they have the full notes (apparently extracts from IP's "Cravings" - I assume some Barthesian never-completed-work) The narcissist suffers from too much inner dialogue. The eye of one’s consciousness is...

more illegible Penman - pity the Roeg film it's for is such a dud

ah i was really struggling to dredge that from the memory!

Who wrote that then?

I.Punman too small to read, alas Slightly more readable version here - http://www.45worlds.com/vinyl/album/203726#google_vignette

Well it's a box set 40th anniversary expansion of Sulk. Was supposed to be out end of May but I think is now July. Some new material (live) added and I believe it's been remastered (but not 100% sure). But of course the killer attraction that'll get the punter easing the credit card out the...

Great comp, nice notes from Joe.

Yeah it sort of makes sense that the liner note essay would return with reissues. I can remember a Joe Strummer one, handscrawled, on a Charly compilation of Lee Dorsey's best tunes.

Being a journalist, the phenomenon of the overpriced box set with liner note booklet commissioned from a journalist is of course something I can't decry. Indeed have one out in a few months as part of an Associates Sulk box.
