A couple of records

Just a reminder here about a couple of records already mentioned in the blog.

- The Great Divide´s beautiful "Ibrahim" featuring Robert Wyatt. A few copies left on AmazonUK. And it is a 10".
Album scheduled for release in 2017. Just this track with Wyatt I hear.

- Sporran´s glam version of "Shipbuilding" on 7". A Costello/Langer song as you know, but just as much Robert Wyatt´s.
I got my copy from Trigger Museum, transparent vinyl and all!

Dwiki Dharmawan covers "Forest"

There are two versions, one with vocals by Boris Savoldelli and one instrumental.

More info on tracks, band members and how to buy over at MoonJune´s Bandcamp.

Sporran: Shipbuilding

Have you heard this glam version of Shipbuilding?

On YouTube they claim it is "a sensitive cover version". Agree?

Anyway, it is possible to order a new 7" now from Trigger Museum Records.
