Was playing this again recently and marvelled at its genre-hopping eclecticism. It genuinely sounds like a label sampler featuring a handful of very different artists. Even Judy’s voice is impossibly versatile. Can you think of any other albums that are as dilettantish?

Shopping in style. Here's Terry with his Volcanic Tongue special edition in an OG Volcanic Tongue bag. That's how you do it. We have copies on sale in the shop and online. Highest possible recommendation. monorailmusic.com/product/volc... @reversediorama.bsky.social @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social

Don’t forget that ‘Pauline Boty: I Am the Sixties’ is being broadcast at 10pm on Monday 3 March on BBC Four. It will then be available on BBC iPlayer. The Guardian’s pick of the day.

Bill Fay RIP. Absolutely crushing news. The loveliest person I ever interviewed. Gracious, wise and humble. I wanted to write a book about him. He declined, believing the commitment involved would take him away from his great joy in life, composing songs. Fly on Bill. Those songs will last forever.

R.I.P. singer-songwriter Bill Fay, who died today in London, age 81. Check out his first two LPs first if you're unfamiliar, 'Bill Fay' (Deram/Decca, 1970) and 'Time Of The Last Persecution' (Deram, 1971), then proceed on to his Dead Oceans LPs, beginning with 2012's lovely 'Life Is People.'
