How or why were those two put together I don't have a clue, I guss the motto was "and now something completly different". Anyway if you are in a mood for reading: Black Woman review or People Get Ready or you can read on both of them. Love the original Sharrock's cover.

P.S: And why is it Bialero instead of Baïlèro, please don't ask me. You can ask me what the pass is and I why I still use it, call it a habit of saying thegoodone.

  1. A revelation, thank you - category-defying stuff. Bits of the Sonny Sharrock remind me instrumentally of the more intense moments of Tim Buckley's Starsailor - Come Here Woman, Down on the Bordeline etc. Other bits like freaked-out Ennio Morricone, somehow, or the psychedelia of United States of America but I think I'll need a few listens to plumb the depths of this one.
    Looks like it's time for a spending spree on more of this!
    The combination with the Wayne Henderson record is bizarre, but there's plenty to enjoy there too - maybe not in the same sitting, though!
