jazzy_daveWell had a trip up to London to do a survey about local magazines and the area i had to do was around harley street in Marylebone. Achieved 7 intervviews in total. Not bad really.
Afterwards - well the temptation was too strong - walked back from there across Oxford Street down Berwick Street to my record shop haunts as they were only ten minutes away. First stop was a small black music shop in which i picked up two copies of "Flying Dutchman Anthology" (Soul Brother records CD) for a £1 each - one for me and one for selling. Flying Dutchman was a label that produced some fine funky jazz and soul with people like Gil Scott-Heron, Gato Barbieri, Oliver Nelson, Lonnie Liston-Smith, Leon Thomas and so on In Sister Ray finally got Vetiver "To Find Me Gone" (Fat Cat CD) - and they are playing live in Brighton in January (along with Adem,Vashti Bunyan and Joana Molina). And from Fopp (sincesteviecat managed to get it cheap in Brighton but sold out now) the DVD of "Derailroaded" the documentary about schizophrenic "Wild Man" Fischer whose first album was recorded on Frank Zappa's label back in the early seventies (alo for a cheap £7).
It was getting close to 5pm by the so i decided to go home as i felt a little tired - central London was packed with people doing their Xmas shopping and Fopp was thronged. Oxford street was difficult to cross with the amount of people - at least Berwick Street was quieter.
