I absolutely do play it, but I still have to manage my plays considering its rarity. It sounds great, and the sound of the record really pops out when you hear the record as compared to online sources.
I randomly decided to just look at who had copies of Falling and Laughing on Discogs (Which you can see in the statistics section). Then I just thought “Would anyone be willing to actually sell it to me?”, and then I message everyone who was visible that had a copy. Most of them said that they treasured this record (for obvious reasons) and would never get rid of it. Then one of the guys emailed me and said he was downsizing his collection, as he was downsizing his home as well. I negotiated with him for about two weeks, and I was able to get a bunch of records, including every other Postcard Orange Juice record.
Chris Knox is a great figure in the history of New Zealand music. He’s probably one of the more influential musicians in the country’s history, and he has had a hand in promoting the Indie scene of Dunedin that became an international influence. I will cover a basic history of his music career and provide some tracks for you...
In my opinion, Eddie Henderson’s realization is amazing, heavily influenced by miles davis’s works; with immaculate percussion & funky playing throughout the album. Especially great if you like jazz fusion/funk. Excellent the whole way through. Certainly, one of the best works of jazz fusion, in my opinion....
John Coltrane - Ole. Not as acclaimed or well-known as something like Blue Train, A Love Supreme, or Giant Steps, but it’s still a great listen. It has such a dark and mysterious vibe to me, especially in the title track, that I dig wholeheartedly.
[OC] my copy of Orange Juice's Falling and Laughing, one of the rarest and most sought after indie records with flexi and postcard. Only 934 were made, with only 200 having the postcard. (lemmy.world)
