Harry Nilsson - The Point

I absolutely love this album so I'm gonna re-up it for you. I remember liking it as a kid and then when I was about eighteen some friends and I were at a jumble sale and there it was. It even had the original comic book with it (scans included with the download). Obviously my mate's took the piss out of me for getting so excited but after we dropped some acid and then listened to it they were converted. In fact, if it wasn't for LSD then the whole thing would never have existed. This is what Nilsson had to say about it...

"I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, 'Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it.'" [Harry Nilsson]

Basically The Point is a tale by musician and songwriter Harry Nilsson about a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, and his dog called Arrow. The story is told through both song and narration and is great listening for children as well as adults.

THE MOVIE
There was also an animated film version of The Point!. The TV version was originally narrated by Dustin Hoffman but because of contract issues the film release used Ringo Starr as the narrator. The version embedded below is with Dustin Hoffman and is available on video.google.com.

Blyth Power - A Little Touch Of Harry

UPDATE: I've re-ripped it from a different tape so the quality of this download is better. It's still from a 25 year old tape though :)

LATEST UPDATE: The Old Punk has given me some good news about this. Someone by the name of Paco has released a vinyl pressing of this classic. It's only £6 plus a bit for postage. It comes with a poster and a copy of the original booklet too. Get it here - La Vida Es En Mus.

A Little Touch Of Harry In The Night was the first release from Blyth Power. It was originally released on cassette in 1984 so the actual quality of the files is not exactly perfect.

Blyth Power are a British 'folk punk' band formed in 1983 by singer/drummer Joseph Porter, formerly of Zounds and The Mob.

Blyth Power's music shows strong influences from punk rock and folk music, and the band members have described their sound as a cross between The Clash, Steeleye Span and The Rubettes.

Hit Parade - Bad News / Plastic Culture EPs (Crass Records)

Here is a re-post of the Bad News and Plastic Culture EPs by Hit Parade. The downloads are in FLAC or 320kbps mp3 format so just grab whichever one you want.

Hit Parade was Dave Hyndman from Belfast, with occassional assistance by members of Crass on backing vocals but mostly it was Dave. The Bad News EP was released in 1983 on Crass Records and rather than guitars, bass and drums it uses drum boxes and samplers. There is also a second EP, Plastic Culture which was released in 1984 that contains extended versions of a couple of tracks. In fact Media Song is basically an extended version/remix of Bad News from the first EP.

[FLAC FORMAT] DOWNLOAD THE HIT PARADE COLLECTION
[MP3 FORMAT] DOWNLOAD THE HIT PARADE COLLECTION

(text from Southern Records)
This record exposes the tyranny of the British Government's attacks on Northern Ireland. Borrowing from Outta Control: Paper of the Belfast Anarchists, the record sleeve/poster details the atrocities of prisons in which "political criminals" are locked up for speaking out against the unjust, violent sectarian state which has long ignored outcries from its inhabitants. The sleeve/poster pictures those who died in peaceful demonstrations and hunger strikes, specifically, the "H Block" hunger strike. "Britains role in Northern Ireland, both on the streets and in legislative methods is clearly repressive and designed to keep in check a rebellious section of the population...which seeks to take control of and responsibility for its own future.

AS LONG AS POPULATIONS ARE UNABLE TO TAKE A UNITED STAND AGAINST ALL FORMS OF OPPRESSION, THEY WILL REMAIN SUBSERVIENT TO IT.

Here's the tracklistings...

BAD NEWS EP
01) Here's What You Find In Any Prison
02) More Faces
03) Bad News
04) H Block

PLASTIC CULTURE EP
05) Product Of The Troubles

D&V - Inspiration LP & Nearest Door EP (Crass Records)

Here's a rip of both releases by D&V on Crass Records. D&V only consisted of Andy Leach on drums and Jef Antcliffe on vocals, hence the name D&V (Drums & Vocals). This download consists of The Nearest Door EP which was released in 1983 and the hugely titled album Inspiration Gave Them The Motivation To Move On Out Of Their Isolation which was released in 1985. I hadn't heard the album in about 20 years and I was pretty surprised at how much I enjoyed it when I ripped it. The backing tracks were arranged and played by Penny Rimbaud using samples built up from vocal and percussive sources and the vocals of Eve Libertine & Joy de Vivre. Frankly it's pretty experimental in places but considering it's basically drums & vocals they've done a really good job.

A special mention goes to The Saucer People for reminding me about D&V and to The Loftmonkey for sending me the vinyl (check out his ebay shop over to the right or just click here).

The downloads are in FLAC or 320kbps mp3 format so just grab whichever one you want.
