Bill Pritchard - Bill Pritchard (1987) 5"

My first post of the month. One of the artists that was talked about during my NW101 days. I never had a chance to listen to his songs until I stumbled upon 2 of his cds in one of the indie record stores in Yokohama, Japan in 2001. And here's one of them, his self titled album. Bill Pritchard is a British singer-songwriter, musical arranger and producer. Similar Artists: Ian Broudie and Brian.. Just my opinion!

Bluetrain - Some Greater Love 5"


I will try to post some of my cd collection in between before I run out of 12" to post. hehehe. I want to start with the band from Surrey, England. Formed from the ashes of Go! Service in 1986. One of their songs, "Land of Gold", was included in the 1999 Vinyl Japan compilation called 'Our Floating Images Youth. Obviously, that's when I first heard them and since then I was on the look out for this hard to find record. I'm still searching for it though.:( I know somebody who owns this gem, right Cino? Anyway, This compilation was released by Plastina Records in 2008 and now out of print. Literally, got the last copy from their shelf last year. A total of 12 tracks and includes songs from their Go! Service days. I don't usually share full length albums but I will make an exception this time. Enjoy!
