Adam Franklin & Bolts of Melody: All happening now (2014)

All Happening Now ..is 36 songs, requested by 31 people and recorded in 30 days by Adam Franklin in July 2013 as part of an exclusive recordings project. Mostly from his back catalogue - Swervedriver, Toshack Highway, Magnetic Morning and Bolts of Melody and solo tunes - there were also three random requests from the year 1967 as a "wildcard" option which he had to honour: luckily he loved the Hendrix tune and approved of the Buffalo Springfield and Frankie Valli requests - "I managed to dodge the Engelbert Humperdink bullet, although our guitar tech Duncan cannily made me record 1967's 'The Laughing Gnome' for him in exchange for fixing a wah wah pedal. This track will sadly remain in the vaults." So after requests to make the whole set available, it finally is. The 31 original benefactors receive the whole set for free (apart from Duncan) and the rest of you can either listen to it endlessly on your computers via Bandcamp or purchase it from there and iTunes - but really, you want to buy it of course. (The cover versions are free.) The 36 tracks break down into three sets of 12 songs so disc one is available here now and discs two and three will be available from August 11th and August 18th respectively.
