Europe depends on US companies to handle digital payments, putting our money at risk. A strong Digital Euro would give everyone safe, independent access to money. But banks and Big Tech want to kill the proposal. Sign the petition now: action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-02...
Yes, those bags (showing the spines of a row of LPs) were very nice. The ESP LP I sold, along with most of the other vinyl I had ... Now have all that studio Quintet music in one ugly Columbia CD package.
The cover of ESP (1965). The musicians are Miles Davis + Wayne Shorter + Herbie Hancock + Ron Carter + Tony Williams: "the second Miles Davis Quintet"
Miles Davis Quintet: ESP (1965). An original Columbia pressing, the sleeve made of that thick US cardboard, bought on impulse in Dobell's on Charing Cross Road
GStK? Ah, then I agree! Makes even Flower of Scotland sound good.
Flower of Scotland is no more than a placeholder. When the nation becomes a state a better song will be found.
Feels as if Labour (= Labourism, which knows it is right and has all the answers) has to die first. Only then will a coalition of the hopeful become possible.

Still a few tickets left for his 4 hour epic ‘For Philip Guston’ in London this Sunday. I’ll be on my way from Scotland…

"Waiter," he asked suddenly, "do you have real Guinness?"
"Sure", came the quiet answer.
"Bottled in Dublin? You're not joking?"

It's not about historical accuracy (who knows what 16th-c players sounded like), more about singers/players trained in high-art conservatoires too faithfully following the notation – without the rhetorical ease / improvisatory spirit that later EM people have found. And I don't mean C Pluhar's work!
Copyright date is 1969. From the names of the musicians, this is likely to be the time of the recording. So, still the early days of the Early Music movement. In my ears, EM recordings from then sound *very* dated. It was only in the 1980s that such music began to be done convincingly (imho).

Fresh constitutions usually come after defeat in war, or after a political revolution. Neither very likely in the UK.
But these could be motivating factors (most to least likely):
Irish unity win in NI
Scotland votes for indy
Wales ditto
monarchy loses all credibility
England votes for indy
