I first got this out of Torquay Library (on a cassette tape!) when I were a lad.
(It smelt of old books and old people, did Torquay Library; the old people came in there to sit somewhere warm, the old books didn't seem to mind).
Later I bought it on Compact Disc: older readers may remember these unloved and unlovely things, insets always too small to read the sleeve notes, and that was the least of their problems, oh yes.
Now here it is (or a bit of it) as a little file in the ether.....whilst thick drizzle thwacks SW London, my, my.
Stan Getz - 'Sweet Rain' (1967)
I don't know about sweet rain. It has been chucking it down in biblical proportions for a couple of days here now!
ReplyDeleteI had some Blue Note comp tapes from Rayleigh Library it's where I first noticed Steely Dan had ripped Rikki from Horace Silver's Song For My Father.
ReplyDeleteStill Falls The Rain by Roxy a very tasty tune - it's based on Jekyll and Hyde you know
Did Rayleigh Library smell of old people too?
ReplyDeleteThanks for this. I wish it was raining here, I do love rain.
