Arthur Doyle Edward Perraud Dan Warburton - The Basement Tapes

Arthur Doyle was born on the 26th June 1944 in Birmingham, Alabama. Moving to Nashville to study at Tennessee State, he played jazz with ex-Sun Ra band member Walter Miller and rhythm and blues with David ‘Fathead’ Newman, Donny Hathaway and Gladys Knight. Shortly after arriving in New York in 1967, he discovered the extraordinarily gritty sound produced by singing and blowing into the horn at the same time and was soon in demand as a free player, sitting in with Sun Ra’s Arkestra at Slug’s Saloon on several occasions. In Paris during the 1980s he spent five years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit 'The Basement Tapes' was recorded in Paris during the summer of 2002 with Edward Perraud & Dan Warburton, which was later released in 2003 on the Durtro Label run by David Tibet of Current 93.

Music-sharing blogs are all in crisis as i type this after the weekend's megaupload debacle.

For the time being i've returned to using Mediafire. Most of the posts on this blog are still active, the older ones with links to Mediafire are all fine (leave a message on any posts that are down & i'll re/up the links as soon as). More recent posts, where i've used Multiupload// both the Deposit Files and z-Share links are still active.

I'll continue sharing the out-of-print albums in my own collection for as long as possible, so keep on keeping on!!! DH xx

Boasti - A Body Forever EP (WOW) 1994

Lincoln based Boasti relocated to London in the early 90s and put out two great extended EPs on welsh label Words Of Warning after tours with label mates Dubwar, Senser and Chumbawamba. A Body Forever was the first of these eps, an interesting mix of dayglo dance beats & hardcore. i think the band split sometime in the mid 90's.
