The start of a new series: 7″ compilation boxsets. What are they? Themed boxes that contain multiple (in this series from 3-10) singles where each single has different artists on it. The format is that we will go through the B-sides of each single in each boxset, then start again with the A-sides. You have a lot of good music coming your way. The first 3 weeks are non-rock, the following 3 weeks are rock. This week covers Brazil45: Mr Bongo x DJ Format, Funk 70, Down Beat Special, New Orleans Funk (The Original Sound Of Funk), Brazil45: Mr Bongo x DJ Marky, and The Mr. K Edits (The Garage Box). A voyage awaits.

Special show – Soul Is My Salvation: Gospel (Disco, Boogie, & Soul) selected by Tone B. Nimble, the guy behind the Al-Tone Edits series of 12″s. There are nine split 7″ in this series, and we hear all of it in this show. The show starts with a Mukatsuku track that didn’t fit into the 3 week series. Many completely awesome tracks: Pink Family’s ‘Don’t Give Your Life Away’ sets us up really well. Spiritual Souls ‘We Came To Show You The Way’ is the #1 pick (of mine) for the whole show – untouchable! Liberated Gospel Choir’s ‘Bon Appetit’ ends the series as another fave. The show ends with 5 tracks outside of this 7″ set, that play well with the nine singles.

The third and final week in the Mukatsuku series runs from Mukat 55 – Mukat 80. The label has new artists as well as artists from the past, with tracks that span continents and genres. Even with all that leeway, Mukatsuku’s sound works well throughout.

The second week of the chronological Mukatsuku special takes us from Mukat 036 – Mukat 053. The label’s identity is clear at this point (official mission statement is “strictly vinyl only, singles only record label” and “Jazz, soul-jazz, and other black music record label”). So many highlights that I would say just to close your eyes (unless you’re driving) and listen to the music. The series will wrap up next week.

Mukatsuku Records is a vinyl-only, singles-only label from the UK. It has 80 releases, though about a quarter of them, those before 2013, are from an early period I had never followed. It also has two sub labels: Guynamukat, with 6 releases from 2010-2012, and Mukat Edits, with 9 releases, 2012-2014. Today starts a 3-week Gulls Window Circus special where all releases I have access to will have at least one side of the record played. Discogs describes the label’s sound as “Jazz, soul-jazz, and other black music record label” which I will use so you know what is in store. This is the first show in 2022 and is the landmark 500th show (yay!).

The second week of Carl’s living room. We are listening to vinyl LP tracks in no particular order or plan, just playing tracks as if we were sitting together listening to records. Two bands I have know about for ages but never really checked out are back-to-back: Sharks and Love Spit Love. The former is Chris Spedding and Andy Fraser, and the later is Richard Butler post The Furs. A few weeks ago in the alphabetical 7″ series we hear 4 Skins and Golden Starlet. Here they appear from non-7″: 4 Skins from a 12″ (their only other release) and Golden Starlet from the anthology LP. We have 3 instances of famous folks outside of their normal orbits. Big Star’s Alex Chilton in a New Orleans cover band, Mark Sandman playing outside of Morphine in Hypnosonics, and Duff McKagan in pre-G’n’R band The Living. Robert Gordon has Tish & Snooky doing background vocals on The Catman (an ode to Gene Vincent), and a couple of unknowns (Mother Trucker and Noah) pull their weight with the company they sit in. Good stuff.

Carl’s living room is the latest Gulls Window Circus series, and the loosest – join me as I just plain listen to records with the recorder on. This week is all vinyl, all LP tracks. It starts with a track from Raybeat’s unappreciated ‘The Lost Philip Glass Sessions’. NYC band Sorrows’ ‘Love Too Late’ LP, which THEY didn’t appreciate, gets re-recorded 40 years later and redeemed as ‘Love Too Late... The Real Album’. Mark Wirtz in his 1970 band The Matchmakers bring goodness, as do Crazy Horse, with the humbly titled but incredible sounding ‘Your Song.’ That track gets followed by a Somerville MA contemporary artist that nails the Crazy Horse spirit – Doug Tuttle. Other Boston area treasures [Turbines, Richie Parsons] bring joy. 80’s NYC bands Steel Tips, Glorious Strangers and Details At Eleven bring me back to my childhood, as does the live Cure track from their first NYC appearance ‘Live At Hurrah, NYC, 15 April 1980’. Also bringing me back, though not as far, is the Versus ‘Let’s Electrify!’ reissue which we hear a track from.

Part 31 in the 7″ played alphabetically series on Gulls Window Circus. This week we travel from Hanterhir to Heroin. There are 2 covers this week: Hanterhir with Bowie’s Dancing Out In Space and Herbal Flesh Tea with Hawaii 5-0. Boston SSD vocalist Spring breaks the expected mold in his Chicago band The Hedonists. Corin Tucker’s first band Heavens To Betsy sounds great. Walter Lure’s first post-Heartbreakers project The Heroes get air. Absolute song of the week belongs to The Heat. All tracks could be expanded upon here, best plan is to listen and discover.

Part 30 in the 7″ played alphabetically series on Gulls Window Circus. This week we travel from Green Seagull to Martin Hannett & Steve Hopkins. I enjoy the tracks I had never paid attention to before: Grout, Graham, Gravity Wx, Greenhorn, Gutterball, Grover, and The Hangmen. The flip side of The Gremies 7″ is a treat I never explored either. The RSD 7″ different version of Fire Of Love is real nice, and it is always a joy to hear Guv’ner, Gretschen Hofner, and Paul Haig.

Part 29 in the 7″ played alphabetically series on Gulls Window Circus. This week we travel from Girls With Credit Cards to Grace Budd. Nice to hear The Gits again. Always a joy to hear The Go-Betweens and Vic Godard. The Godheadsilo track resonated with me more than it used to. Go-Kart cover the same track that Fun Boy Three did a few shows ago (Summertime). The second hour starts with one song out of order, but I love this track and only just got it. It is Avocadoclub, on the label Firestation Tower that we have been experiencing other bands on as well. The Glidshees are also on that label. Alphabetized 7″s are fun!
