@wadcorp reminds me of the promo for 'International' by Thomas Leer . . . Thomas Leer - International

@wadcorp have long wondered if that was the inspiration for the beginning of the Visions Of China official video by Japan . . . Japan - Visions Of China

As if possessed.

Solid.

Great photographs nowt seen before. The one with David Sylvian and the one with John Leckie at West Haddlesey Village Hall look to me like they might be video captures?

Are there particular stories, plot twists or scenes that stand out, any favourites?

Have been unsuccessful in my search for images of the Valvemen .... as in “Dance Of The Mullard Valvemen” ....

Couldn't find the performance but did find Wes Montgomery, in 1965, performing John Coltrane's "Impressions" https://youtu.be/Kj7jMTNzMkI

😎

Have seen that photo’ before but didn’t realise how far back it was that it was taken. The Hoyer guitar’s trajectory is a righteous one.

Now I have the Summertime Blues.

👍

Great picture . Looks like an Alembic but it's not , Ebow is there though something I've written to Santa for .

Great photographs and information. Thanks, Bill. It appears that Kings Head Pub is still standing. https://whatpub.com/pubs/WAK/000374/kings-head-hemsworth Interesting that the first image seen at the Kings Head Facebook is a bookcase with plenty of books. https://m.facebook.com/HemsworthKingsHead/?__tn__=%2Cg

Neat stuff and nice to see there was a 1965 Yearbook for ‘Spacemen’ ... and now I know the likely source for the name of a band I liked in the late ‘80s, and still like, Spacemen 3.

I’m such a fan of this story. Such a happy photo’ and you’re blessed with Mediterranean melanin. I was living for several months in Tokyo the same time you were and around that time I was in Malaysia staying for a while at a place called Tang Jung Bidara with white sands, monkeys, coconuts and hypnotic wind, waves, heat, humidity .... It would’ve been so nice to have recorded the gamelan jam you had! To have sampled it and used it for later song creation. 🤔😊

Walter Nelson with Grafton acrylic alto saxophone

I feel like I should add Walter Nelson to the Grafton Saxophone Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafton_saxophone

It’s a photo that could be from sometime between 1978 and 1988. I look at it and I think of Thomas Leer, Cabaret Voltaire and Spacemen 3.

Yes and they work as works of art, by themselves, attached to nothing else but themselves, but the fact that they’re promoting toys, three-dimensional representatives promoting a whole world within a two-dimensional format of the comic book, makes them that much more intriguing.

I'm tuning in to telepathic cats ...

Could imagine this as a tall oil painting. 👌🏼✨ Bill, I just thought of a question regarding that day in October of last year. Did you once think of the tracks ‘Winchester Cathedral’ by The New Vaudeville Band and/or ‘Cathedral’ by Graham Nash?

And the frames on those specs are 👌🏼

David Bowie, Haddon Hall, 1969

I like that photograph of the Orangery. Just watched the “Flaming Desire” promo film and I see the Orangery is in it quite a bit. Don’t know where I’d assumed those sequences were filmed but maybe at Haddlesey and other locations somewhere else in Selby and of course some of it is at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Very few videos come close to it. Watching it this time might be the first time I noticed a sequence that reminds me of Jean-Luc Godard’s “Alphaville” Can’t imagine where the graffiti that almost match the lyrics was shot. The Orangery reminds me of bones and has a religious-cult sense to it but that’s not quite what I mean. It has a special look to it with the possibility of mirroring photographed sections of it and rearranging them, something like what was done on “Shining Reflector”. I remember dance lessons at school where I was the only boy there but that doesn’t seem to be the case for your ballet classes as they were required.
