AIRWAVES - NEXT STOP (1979)
With this inventive Hipgnosis art design, "Next Stop" was the second and final Airwaves album. Airwaves was a totally overlooked band (wrong time for sure) featuring two Rockfield Studios musicians: Dave Charles (Ernie Graham, Deke Leonard, Help Yourself, Dave Edmunds), John David (The Human Beans, Love Sculpture, Dave Edmunds), (John David also wrote three songs for The Searchers Sire albums) and Ray Martinez (Spring). Produced by ex-Spring member and renowned producer Pat Moran (The Searchers Sire years) , the album has some 10cc, Beatles (Klaatu?), Brian Wilson influences and is really worth a listen for anybody digging creative pop.

The album has never been reissued in CD format.

BRINSLEY SCHWARZ - CRUEL TO BE KIND (2004)
"Cruel to Be Kind" is the second installment of Brinsley Schwarz's BBC recordings released by Hux, following "What Is So Funny About Peace Love & Understanding?" by three years. This gathers most, but not all, of the BBC performances that didn't make the first volume, following the same mix-and-match sequencing as that collection, so sessions from 1971 alternate with those from 1973 and songs from a particular session are split up.
