Fishschool haul

Ain't it wonderful what turns up in the post?  This is a stash of early 80s NZ tapes on loan via a good friend in Wellington (to the owner: they're in safe hands!) and of which I know nothing about.  Some of it may be re-released 'proper'.  Others might turn up here, perhaps.  For now, a wonderful collection of hand-made cover art from Fishschool and related others.  If you've got a story relating to them, drop it in the comments.

I don't expect these will be of interest to anyone, but that's the point isn't it?!

And if I could set my house alarm to the amplified sound of the Wandering Albatross, I would certainly do it.

As before, I made the intros separate tracks (for those who prefer to keep your words and tweets apart) so you can delete if you like, but the narrator here is a worth listen, relating the personal and poetic imagery of his encounter.  This 7" is the pick of the pack.  Good vinyl too.

Relenting to a non-threatening and amiable door knocker and subsequently being persuaded to sign up for a subscription to Forest & Bird's Kiwi Conservation Club led to this revival of mrsblucher, on a local bird theme.

The narrator does a fine rendition of the laconic kiwi male.
