Serge Gainsbourg – Aux Armes et Caetera
French fella goes to Jamaica, hooks up with Sly and Robbie, and makes heavy riddim album with some serious irie. Legendary status for all ensues.
Gene Clark – No Other
Ex-Byrds fella spends a fortune recording a country-tinged masterpiece, which flops upon release and ruins poor Gene’s career; definitely way better than Chinese Democracy.
Fugazi – anything!
Take your pick! Red Medicine probably but then Repeater is great. Or Steady Diet of Nothing is also rad.
Matthew Larkin Cassell – Mat the Cat
This Californian genius makes this LP on a private press and no one pays attention. Thank the lord for hip hop and DJ culture resulting in the beats and smoothness rediscovered. It is a Stones Throw re-release.
Sonny Bono – Inner Views
A Phil Spector & Brian Wilson obsessive divorces famous other and makes this tripped out, little-heard masterpiece.
BROADWAY SOUNDS are playing at Lounge, 243 Swanston St CBD, this Thursday July 17 along with Harvey Sutherland and DJ Manchild. Free Entry.
