RSD Black Friday 2023 Special spotlight on records by The English Beat, Gram Parsons and more.
It's the annual RSD Black Friday Special, featuring interviews with a selection of people behind certain titles on "The List." Dave Wakeling, co-founder of The English Beat, talks about the Birmingham ska band's landmark 1980 debut, I Just Can't Stop It, newly expanded into a 2 LP set with bonus live and dub tracks. Amoeba Records' David Prinz and Polly Parsons (daughter of Gram Parsons) are here to talk about a newly unearthed live recording of Gram Parsons And The Fallen Angels (featuring Emmylou Harris) called The Last Roundup: Live From The Bijou Cafe in Philadelphia, March 16, 1973. The painter Anna Jensen has assembled a cast of heavyweight musicians to toast her (very much alive and healthy) husband, Drivin' N' Cryin's Kevn Kinney on the tribute album Let's Go Dancing: Said The Firefly To The Hurricane. David J., co-founder of Bauhaus and Love And Rockets, has a triple LP set of his demos called Tracks From The Attic. And RSD co-founder Carrie Colliton checks in from Raleigh, NC.
