07 Mar 06 - 04:58 AM (#1687044) Subject: RE: Death of Ivor Cutler From: John MacKenzie Wonderful man, if you get the chance read 'Many Flies Have Feathers' by Ivor, uproariously funny stuff. I also seem to remember hearing of him doing poetry readings while a young lady posed on a chaise longue behind him on the stage. The world is indeed a much less idiosyncratic place without him, and much the worse for it. Giok |

07 Mar 06 - 05:31 AM (#1687060) Subject: RE: Death of Ivor Cutler From: Purple Foxx Thanks for that link Giok,the Ludo album it refers to was produced by George Martin. Apparently he (Martin)found it very difficult to tolerate Cutler's eccentricity. This is the man who was producer for The Beatles & also The Goons. I think that in itself speaks volumes about Ivor Cutler. Great guy! |

07 Mar 06 - 10:35 AM (#1687298) Subject: RE: Death of Ivor Cutler From: GUEST,punkfolkrocker 30 odd years ago when i was about 15 i found one of his early 60's LPs discarded without a sleeve in the middle of a busy town centre road..??? says a lot for the strength of old vinyl.. it had been run over a few times before i rescued it out of curiosity and took it home to play on the huge old family valve radiogram [didn't want too risk ruining the stylus on my dads hi fi deck, but i'm sure he still would have gone mental if he'd caught me risking the needle for his precious old big band 78's] anyway that roadkill vinyl crackled to life and i was spell bound hearing ivor cutler playing & singing through the dense miasma of clicks and scratches.. ..sounded like a strange lifeform from another dimension trying to communicate with our reality.. must track down the CD one day.. |

07 Mar 06 - 10:47 AM (#1687316) Subject: RE: Death of Ivor Cutler From: Purple Foxx Punkfolkrocker, I think some of Ivor's back catalogue was released on the Creation label some time in the late 90's. Definitely one of the better side-effects of the brothers grim's desire to be The Bootleg Rutles. |
