Everything But The Girl, Idlewild, 1988 on Sire

This was the fourth EBTG album, released in early 1988 on Sire / Blanco y Negro Records. There’s a 2012 double CD reissue with bonuses but that has not been issued on vinyl. (The LP was reissued by Music on Vinyl in 2016 but as a single LP).

I love Tracey Thorn and Ben Watts, who married in 2009 after 27 years of engagement. Cover photo by Richard Haughton – I like to think of it as a prom photo with Ben holding a corsage, but I that’s just me.

My copy—via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA—is a US Allied Pressing.

Why should the 9 million residents and the tourists to this city have to put up with this violent filth under the illusion of "It's free speech" , it's not fair on the majority of us!

Every now and then #Spotify comes up with a near-perfect playlist. I love the Song Radio feature. This morning it came up with a corker starting with Working Week's "Venceremos". (Although I much prefer the versions of this track with Tracey Thorn.)

I may be a decade late, but #TraceyThorn’s 2012 #Christmas #music “Tinsel and Lights” is just as lovely, melancholy, and precise as you might hope.

Oh, the Divorces! by Tracey Thorn. Talking about endings, a divorce is often one of the saddest. Thorn has an unmatched ability capture the pain in all its many aspects.

🎵Now there's kids to tend
The legal bills
And custody
And, oh, the divorces🎵
