Good points made by Pete and Jon...Looking back a couple of years or so, I was pretty set in my ways re. buying music, in that it had to be a CD (or vinyl), mainly CD, and I 'told myself' I didn't like downloads, period...Of course, eventually I took the plunge and fast forward to now, actually being able to legitimately buy and download your favourite albums and music is really great. As mentioned, takes up no physical space at home, very good quality, convenient and quick, sync across your devices. etc, etc..(and you can always burn a CD if you want.). I will still buy CDs, but I now recognise and acknowledge the merits of downloads, and to be quite honest, have no major preference over format, especially if artwork is available in the download package.

Went to the Niagra Falls many yeas ago, it was grey and damp. A new version of Sunburst Finish? Hey, I've got much more important things to do with the remaining years of my life than regurgitate stuff I recorded over 40 years ago ! Thanks, but no thanks...

Well, thirteen tracks completed for 'Man Of Dreams' with a possible fourteenth track currently in the works. There will also be two 'bonus' tracks of alternative mixes of two of the titles. Another jam-packed audio package! I'm toying with the possibility of changing the album title though. 'Man Of Dreams' is very similar to my '80s album, 'Map Od Dreams,' (only one letter difference!) I could title the album 'All The Fun Of The Fair', or even 'Signalling As We Go,' but I need to have a think about that and may even stick with 'Man Of Dreams'. Plenty of time to decide which way to jump as the album won't be scheduled for release until after I've released one of the backlog albums from my archives. But, meanwhile, here's a list of tracks for inclusion on 'Man Of Dreams', but please note this is not a running order. That will be decided later. MAN OF DREAMS: POSSIBLE TRACKS. (not a running order.) 1: ‘A SHOWER OF SPARKS.’ 2: ‘SOME JIGGERY POKERY.’ 3: ‘A COMPASS IN MY MIND.’ 4: ‘IN THE BRIGHT TWILIGHT SKY.’ 5: ‘ALL THE FUN OF THE FAIR.’ 6: ‘A MAGIC FRAME OF MIND.’ 7: ‘FAST FORWARD, SLO-MO.’ 8: ‘RUNNING FROM MY OWN SHADOW.’ 9: ‘ MAN OF DREAMS.’ 10: ‘SHAPE SHIFTER.’ 11: ‘SIGNALLING AS WE GO.’ 12: ‘THE WEATHER SONG.’ 13: ‘CLOUDS AND HALOES.’

Would it possibly be appropriate to bracket Indiscretion, Dancing on a Knife's Edge, Contemplation, and Time Tracking apart, because they were recorded at the same time for a Kid Jensen session on BBC Radio 1? I think they were post Love That Whirls and pre Chimera (and what a brilliant session that was - those recordings still sound as fresh as when they were first broadcast). PS Great work TKK!

Yes, this is great work, TKK. Thank you for it. Agreeing with Ed's comment and expanding on it, to integrate all the various radio sessions into your list (see separate thread about the sessions) would be useful because the sessions all come with recording or broadcast dates and show what Bill's current ongoing work was at the time he paused to do a session for radio. With the exception, I think, of Contemplation, Bill rarely returned to a song long after first recording it - he's always moving onwards! - so radio session dates are probably within days or weeks of any first home recording dates. We're close to having a 1979-1984 (85?) timeline for known songs of that period. And what an exciting, experimental time that was! Dropping into that timeline such items as dates of UK and US tours would be a bonus as well. Thanks again for getting this far.

I am currently reviewing the release dates for the Discography section on here (although I have much work yet to do) but my research on Axe Victim says that it arrived on 7 June 1974 the same date that Jet Silver and the Dolls was released on 7". The evidence for this is a news piece from Record Mirror. Most records in the UK back then were released on Fridays so to me that almost certainly rules out 17th (a Monday). I hope that helps.

Around 1975 ir 1976, Vincent Price was going on a speaking tour around the country. Stopped at the University of Florida where I was attending. Because a good friend was chairing the speakers bureau who brought everyone in, I got to meet the man. .

I've always been amazed at how much Bill interacts with his fans. Most other websites I visit have little or no interaction with the artist. Other than the occasional announcement of a new album, every few years or so. But, that's just my personal experience. I try to interact more on Dreamsville but I'm basically not that interesting, so I'm not sure it helps much. And, as I get older, I seem to have less to say. I do appreciate Bill, his team and all the Nelsonians who keep this all going. Cheers. 🙂
