Buckley
bits and bytes
While references to
Buckley père et fils are not uncommon in MOJO
magazine, their salute to the 60th anniversary of Elektra
Records contains more than name-checking Tim Buckley on
the front page. And it turns out more than just a few…
The
November issue of the venerable British publication is accompanied
by a fifteen-track CD curated by label founder Jac Holzman
- the Tim Buckley track selected is Morning Glory.
The
CD insert is illustrated by two of Jac’s personal favorites,
Tim and Love’s Arthur Lee, while the track listing
also contains Tim‘s Goodbye and Hello cover.
In
the magazine proper, there is a page 3 mention, followed
by short blurbs on three Buckley albums selected for inclusion
in an ‘Elektra Best Sixty' - Tim Buckley (p.70)
Goodbye and Hello (p. 79) and two mentions on page
81, where you can find a Happy Sad write up, as well
as a link to the MOJO
website to complain about the lack of love for Lorca.
Page
79 also includes directions to Mick Houghton’s on-line
story on Tim’s
Elektra years, and page 89 references two of Tim’s
album covers - Goodbye and Hello and Happy Sad.
A
short paragraph on Tim in an interview with Holzman is on
page 90, with the whole thing is topped off on page 109
by a review of Bryan Ferry’s new album Olympia,
which contains an ‘80’s wine-bar rehash’
of Song to the Siren.
