Fragrant mother of jebus! Cargo have reduced the price of this gorgeous, award-hooverin, behemoth of a box set to £39.99. 7 CDs. A paperback book by John Fahey. 127 pages of biography, lyrics and sheet music. Um, some stickers. Do I need to say more? If, like me, you didn’t buy this first time around when it was up over £100, you’ve really got no excuse now. Snatch it and grab it.

Already got the music on a cheap rate compilation so couldn’t justify the outlay even at this reduced price. However, I sprang for the Albert Ayler back in June, just phoned Cargo who say it’s delayed as Revenant were on holiday (!), but it’s just shipped. So a post will appear on Hard Format in due course…
