Hi everyone, hope ye’re all well. Only a few more days to mark off on the calendar now for Ray to get back. Meanwhile, Ray is setting all the clocks slow on the yacht.

Here’s a classic Simpson’s clip on abstinence that came to mind:

Tough on Cork in the Hurling. So close. Some poor decisions by the ref in the last 10 minutes. But after the first 20 minutes, Clare were excellent.

Listening to David Murphy’s ‘Cuimhne Ghlinn’ record at the moment. So relaxing and cinematic. Ennio Morricone vibes. Lovely listen.

There’s a massive one to tell ye about first coming down the road. A huge RORY GALLAGHER box set, ‘The BBC Collection’. The super deluxe version of it has 18 CDs and 2 Blu Rays. Lots of unreleased stuff on it.
Here’s more info:

“The BBC Collection’ is an all-encompassing collection of the many recorded performances of Rory Gallagher at the BBC. Featuring eighteen CDs worth of radio concerts and sessions from 1971 to 1986, roughly 75% of this material has not been officially released before. Also included is two Blu Ray discs of BBC TV concerts and studio performances from 1973 to 1984, all of which has not been officially released previously.

Amassed from the BBC archives and Rory Gallagher’s own transcription discs and off-air cassette recordings, the boxset spans 16 years of his career (1971-1986), taking in highlights such as the 1977 dual television and radio broadcast Sight & Sound concert, Rory’s headlining set at the Reading Festival in 1980 to the emotional ‘At Midnight’ concert live from the Ulster Hall in Belfast, 1984.”

The full track-list is there if you click into the link above, or on the picture below. There’s also a 3 LP Vinyl version and a 2 CD set. That’s coming out on October 11th.
Looks a lovely set.

Then to another legend, there’s going to be a series of remastered, coloured vinyl reissues of JONI MITCHELL albums: Hejira, Mingus, Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter and Shadows & Light. These will also be available on black vinyl, and released on September 6th.

And a nice new Irish release to mention, the brand new, second album from Dublin native, ORLA GARTLAND – Everybody Needs a Hero, which will be out on CD, red vinyl and indies splatter blue/white vinyl, 4/10/24. I like her sound.
Here’s a new (released earlier today) track from it: https://youtu.be/-MEkPfGSatE?si=sZmdGDyqZW7wdkO_

And here’s a list of other releases coming soon:

We didn’t get an aul video done this week as all hands on deck.

Ray, Shane, Young Adam and Mia.
