The Indestructible Beat of Soweto

amf.didiermary.fr/indestructib

The Indestructible Beat of Soweto is a compilation album released in 1985, featuring twelve tracks by artists from South Africa. The sleeve notes state that all songs are in the mbaqanga style, a guitar-based style popular at the time in the townships of Johannesburg and Durban, but the tracks actually cover four different styles, […]

A Head Full of Wishes · [273] Various artists - Still in a DreamCherry Red Records have been trotting out these extensive compilations for a number of years (as have some other reissue/legacy labels like Ace and Two Piers and Rough Trade) and I suspect AHFoW related acts have been sprinkled around many similar collections. Both Galaxie 500 and Luna turn up on this one, which is subtitled 1988-1995 A Story of Shoegaze. I’ll spare you a discussion on my opinions of music pigeonholing - but imagine me rolling my eyes!

John Mayall, Down The Line, 1973 on London Records

Compilation of songs previously released: First LP includes songs from Blues Breakers, A Hard Road, Crusade, The Blues Alone, Bare Wires, Blues From Laurel Canyon, and Looking Back, and the second LP is John Mayall Plays John Mayall (1965) which was never released on vinyl in the US (and had not been issued in the US when this came out).

I’m a massive John Mayall fan – I don’t normally try to pick up compilations of things I already have, but this is a good way to get the live tracks on LP2 as I’ve never seen a John Mayall Plays John Mayall in the wild.

My copy is a Bestway Pressing via A1 records in New York City.
