Titolo: [Dick Gaughan in vinile sul giradischi] No More Forever

Ho riattivato il Linn esplicitamente per sentire questo disco di
Dick Gaughan, che non conoscevo: un Trailer LER 2072,
originalmente pubblicato nel 1972.
E' quasi più toccante di un Martin Carthy dei primi.
Come si fa a non avere questi dischi?

The Green Linnett!
Quale sublime lamentazione, quale abbassamento di pressione da
una song di questa foggia!
La sua ripetitività è degna di un Jack Orion, il suo clima è
plumbeo, la pioggia incombe, i tuoni giungono e le nubi
sfrecciano senza posa!
La sconfitta di Napoleone la causa dell'ispirazione, tracce di
Waterloo, il linnett come simbolo dell' ex-Imperatore...

THE GREEN LINNET
Curiosity bore a young native of Erin
To view the gay banks of the Rhine
There an empress he saw and the robes she was wearing
All over with diamonds did shine
A goddess in splendor was never yet seen
To equal this fair one so mild and serene
In soft murmur she says my linnet so green
Are you gone will I never see you more
The cold lofty Alps you freely went over
Which nature had placed in your way
That Marengo Saloney around you did hover
And Paris rejoiced the next day
It grieves me the hardships you did undergo
The mountains you travelled all covered with snow
The balance of power your courage laid low
You are gone I will never see you more
The crowned heads of Europe when you were in splendor
Fain they would have had you submit
But the goddess of freedom soon bid them surrender
And lower the standard to your wit
Old Frederick's colors to France you did bring
Yet his offspring found shelter under your wing
That year in Virginia you sweetly did sing
Are you gone will I never see you more
The numbers of men that were eager to slay you
Their malice you viewed with a smile
Their gold through all Europe they sowed to betray you
And they joined the Mamelukes on the Nile
Like ravens for blood their vile passions did burn
The orphans they slew and caused widows to mourn
They say my linnet's gone and n'er will return
He is gone will I never see him more
When the trumpet of war the grand blast was sounding
You marched to the north with good will
To relieve the poor slaves in their vile sack clothing
You used your exertion and skill
You spread out the wings of your envied train
When tyrants great Caesar's old nest set in flames
Their own subjects they caused to eat herbs on the plains
Are you gone will I never see you more
In great Waterloo where numbers laid sprawling
In every field high or low
Fame on her trumpets the Frenchmen were calling
Fresh laurels to place on her brow
Usurpers did tremble to hear that loud call
The third babe's fine new buildings did fall!
The Spaniards their fleet in the harbor did call
Are you gone will I never see you more
I'll roam the deserts of wild Abyssinia
And yet find no cure for my pain
I'll go and enquire on the Isle of St. Helena
No there we will whisper in vain
Now tell me ye critics now tell me in time
The nation I'll range my sweet linnet to find
Was he slain at Waterloo or at Elba on the Rhine
If he was I shall never see him more
From Songs the Whalemen Sang, Huntington
Note: The Green Linnet, needless to say, was Napoleon. The Irish
     liked him. RG

Come si fa a non avere questi dischi?
Non si trovano piů cazzo a prezzi umani.
La settimana scorsa ad una fiera volevo prendere il primo Nick Jones
per un amico e i primi due Tony Rose.
250 carte cadauno.
10 anni va costavano 3 sterline.

10 anni va costavano 3 sterline.
Sě, ma sono pazzi. Possibile che la musica decente diventi sempre
preda di venditori killer?

preda di venditori killer?
Credo sia nell'ordine delle cose.
Tutto ciò che è prezioso costa caro...
Tieni presente che certi Topic o Trailer del periodo 68-73 venivano
stampati in 500 copie, quante ne rimangono ora conciate bene?
Anche allora, a differenza che per il prog, il folk interessava a
pochissimi, triste ammetterlo ma tutta la musica interessante ci è
giunta solo grazie al collezionismo fanatico vinilitico.
Non fosse per noi pazzi chi oggi avrebbe mai pensato di ristampare
Vashti Bunyan che già nel 1978 costava 50 sterline?
Il mito Mellow Candle l'ho creato io e 2 collezionisti tedeschi.

mi sembra che nessuno dei summenzionati sia stato stampato in cd.
il paragone con martin carthy ci sta tutto: anche dich gaughan interpreta le
sue canzoni rendendole vive, con un "pathos" straordinario.
