One World

Happy new year first of all.
Two things have changed on the One World website.
First of all I closed down the X-account associated with it and killed all Twitter functionality. It was hardly used anyway and I will not be associated with the political activities the owner of the platform has recently been unfolding.
Then I decided to close the Guestbook because people were not using this channel any more. It was mainly causing trouble as it was getting increasingly difficult to fight thousands of comment spam entries from Russia, per week (!).
Apart from this, I will try to keep these pages online and up to date.

For the people who did not get their hands on Neil Ardley's Harmony Of The Spheres: a small record company from Chichester, Analogue October Records, are preparing a high quality vinyl rerelease of the album. Licensed from Decca, remastered/ remixed from the original master tapes and pressed in Germany.

Originally the release was planned for 15 November 2024, then there were some problems with the test pressings. The release was pushed back, initially to December 20 and the estimate is now February 8. The price is totally audiophile. So it might be worth the effort to look for second hand CD's or older LP's that might come on the market this spring.

While searching for an old concert in Barnstaple, I stumbled upon a remark by DJ Wendy May: "After extensive touring and some John Peel sessions they eventually signed to Phonogram and made an album in 85, which featured the legendary John Martyn on guitar." She is referring to a band called the Boothill Foot-Tappers. They made exactly one album that surfaced October 1985: Ain't That Far From Boothill. It was released by Mercury (MERH 76) and John is indeed credited for Guitars on a track called Stand Or Fall (side B, track #3).
No idea why this track was never mentioned in the older discographies before. It has been included here in the Collaborations section and I also found a review.
