Just Say Sire: The Sire Records Story

So many many great artists on Sire Records.  Thinking my collection is at least 5 percent Sire albums. singles, etc.  Their "Just Say" compilations always enjoyable..

A Sire Records playlist which is reminding me of so many great albums from my past.

This is a great summation of Sire Records from the NPR news piece on Seymour.

STEPHEN THOMPSON, BYLINE: When I was in college radio and I was kind of learning how to be a music nerd, there was such a stark line. Like, you could be underground and cool, or you could be mainstream and terrible. Sire Records and Seymour Stein found ways to kind of fuse those together.

Definitely need to re-listen to the "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" from  Brian Eno &  David Byrne such a classic and oddly prior to Seymour's death I was reminded of Book Of Love who I haven't listened to in years.

Art Pepper - Intensity (UK test pressing)

This album was recorded in 1960 (but released in 1963). Art’s last session as a leader until 1975!! His final masterpiece for Contemporary Records where he put out six killer records in a row. He spent a lot of the next 15 years in the grasp of heroin, in jail and in a cult.

Bought -finally- the reissue on two LPs! The original crams 60 minutes onto one LP and this album is one of my favorites…
