4 tracks from the LP ‘Electra’ performed by Rubba (De Wolfe Music Library, DWS/LP 3482 , UK, 1982)
It was pouring with rain. It gave the impression that it was going to do it all day. In such cases, some of us might decide to eschew getting dressed, leave the curtains closed, brew hot beverages and watch old films on TV. Tempting as this was, I opted to trudge across town, umbrella in hand, to a friendly record shop where one is encouraged to browse, chat and listen for hours. Oh, and they give you coffee.
I came home with a small bundle of LPs, this being one of them. Now, the world is full of expensive trophy library records, and the internet is awash with rich show-offs trying to out do each other on social media so it gives me great pleasure to be sharing this cheap and unfashionable looking De Wolfe offering from 1982. It’s a grower. Unassuming yet deeply satisfying. In that sense, I feel it’s the musical equivalent of a soft boiled egg and soldiers. Dip in.
Rolfe had a magic phase and his first puppet was a Kermit doll, I refuse to hear otherwise
Easily Done - The Electric Banana (1973)
The Pretty Things’ library music alter egos recorded this slice of quintessential 70s guitar rock, complete with bonkers nonsense lyrics.
I cut a Vikings highlight reel to this track once and it actually made me kind of excited about football for a hot minute.
