UPDATE

***********************************************

DEAR FRIENDS, AFTER RECEIVING FIVE NOTIFICATIONS FROM DMCA, I HAVE DECIDED TO CLOSE MY BLOGS, SO ALL THIS SHARING-LINK ACTIVITY IS FINISHED. YOU CAN READ THE COMPLETE TEXT I POSTED ON MY PILOT BLOG - - > HERE

FOR THE MANY MANY PEOPLE WHO KEEP ASKING FOR RECORDS: I'M SORRY, I CAN'T FULFIL THEIR REQUESTS, IT ALL CAME TO A POINT THAT'S 'S TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME. I HAD TO REMOVE THE 97% OF THE ALBUMS I HAD POSTED ON THE SERVERS. The few exceptions are: the bootlegs and the few studio albums authorized directly by the copyright owners.


FOR ALL THE OTHERS, Cyrus (who wants to buy some of my vynil records), Maxoom, Caroalt, Jiro, Trolley Dolly, Phil (who wants my copies of the COB albums), Marnie (who wants my copy of the original "Ptooff"), XJ64, Antiamnbient, Arman, Nicolas, Rick, etc etc , please WRITE ME AGAIN WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, AND I WILL ANSWER YOU, OKAY?

LAST: I RE-UPPED THE FOREST'S LIVE ALBUM FOR THREE PEOPLE WHO ASKED FOR IT, SO IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.

KISSES - YOUR COUNTESS VANESSA

No pretention of completeness in mind, this blog sees the light with the idea of filling a good number of gaps here and there where I notice that certain music that I particularly like is missing in other blogs. Therefore I will abstain from posting albums that are present elsewhere, except only the cases where I am reported of dirty record scans, incomplete reissues, remixed versions, etc. Other exceptions are cases in which I can offer higher bitrate scans, or also when posting a title is necessary for the completeness of a thread or a discography.

ELTON DEAN - same (CBS, 1971)

If you don't like free jazz, this album is not for you.
Elton Dean left us on Feb 7th 2006, shortly after giving new birth to Soft Machine (Legacy). Also Hugh Hopper, founder Soft Machine member, left us last year. I'm going to post his first solo LPs, "1984" here.
I have later read of a CD reprint of this album, but it's under the name "Elton Dean and Just Us".  This was the name of a band that Dean gathered for a tour, I remember having seen them in Italy, but it was one year later after the publication of this LP.  Now, some members of Just Us are the same playing on the studio album of Dean, but for the concerts the elements were others. And the Just Us band didn't ever record any official LP. Furthermore, there are only two tracks present on the CD, recorded live.

The back cover of the LP, yes, it's upside down


Your COUNTESS V.

    Thanks indeed, this LP is great! Quite "free" indeed, but very subtle, adventurous and structured, and the drummer is fabulous.
    I'll definitely bookmark this great blog.

    Vanessa, if you happen to have a wish-list please feel free to e-mail privately.

    Hello! I'm french, and I went to your blog looking for 70s music. I listened to the song x - LDF player Medley filefactory, I found this piece of progressive rock super giant and I would like to know who is who plays this title. Thank you!

    Francis.

    Hello dear Francis!

    Yes, is a great track and also a great album, the first by "Locanda Delle Fate", an Italian band; the LP is named "Forse le lucciole non si amano più", Polydor 1977. The track is the one opening the album, "A volte un istante di quiete". The band did a big promotional tour in Italy at the time, and from those tapes a posthumous LP wsas published, "Live" (Mellow, 1993), but the group disbanded in 1978. Many years later, in 1996 the band reformed and published a second LP, "Homo homini lupus" (BTF, 1999), very different from the marvellous first work.
    These are the only albums I have of them, I don't think they did a fourth record.
    If you search a bit around through the blogs, you're going to find some link for direct download without problems!

    Have fun, kiss from your

    Countess Vanessa
