Mostly monochrome LP cover, black background with a negative photographic portrait of Dolphy holding an alto sax, his name spelt out in individual boxed capital letters across the top, similarly treated title down the left hand edge. The cover is propped up on the lid of the record player upon which the album is playing

Three of a four pack of yogurts,the fourth one would presumably have had the preceding words of a phrase on the lid but the one nearest us just has the words ‘[…] YOUR GUT’

Deep moonlight reveals
the older poems leaving
me, their pale song loved.

South Bank Show - Sly & Robbie
South Bank Show - Sly & Robbie YouTube video by Salvage Operation

RIP Sly Dunbar. Here's a lovely edition of the South Bank Show all about the wonderful Sly and Robbie. A few people were asking to see it, so I've uploaded it to YouTube and I'll leave it there until Monday. Hopefully it'll get a proper repeat soon.

Linocut album cover artwork for @pgofton.bsky.social ‘Pagodas’ released under ‘The All Golden’ moniker.

It’s a collection of recordings and songs he made as a teenager and in his twenties and it’s remarkably good and one of my studio favourites when I’m printing….

Cover of Unch issue 2, featuring a geometric illustration of a large number of white squares, looking as though they are moving in different directions, leaving stylised trails of black and coloured stripes behind them, everything outlined in heavy black strokes
