Distractions, distractions in the record boxes stored under the bed...this time in the form ofAnita Lanesinging Serge Gainsbourg's 'Harley Davidson'. Rather splendid. Now trying to find my copy of 'The World's a Girl' by Ms Lane which is a gem.
I was rather chuffed last night when I discovered that I still had my copy of Lesley Duncan's version of "I Go To Sleep" - the Kinks song (made more popular by the Pretenders) that she very beautifully covered in 1966. Very scratchy, but pure class.
Little Carthorse is sometimes in Greenwich, London and sometimes in Oslo, Norway. On odd occasions can be spotted wandering with intent around Old Town, Hastings. The Carthorse got a design degree at London College of Printing; worked at a few publishing houses as designer/illustrator, at a museum or three, the Arts Council Visual Arts Dept based in Westminster, and once upon a time at a film company.

ReplyDeleteRIP Lesley.
Thanks for this, Scott. Will seek out this version by Lesley Duncan as I don't think I've heard this. Always up for a new sound!
