Bandcampsnoop says: The first few songs I heard from The Standby Connection (Valencia, Spain) didn't actually prepare me for what was to come. The first few songs made me think of a more indie Lemon Twigs or even The Chills ("Visions"). But then, this album turned into full-on Galaxie 500/Luna worship. Well done worship at that. I listened all the way through and then looked at the credits.
Surprise! On track 6, "MB", none other than Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips make guest appearances.
Members of The Standby Connection have also played in Polar.
This is released by Spanish label No Aloha Records.

Where the farmer wakes the rooster up, the seas are in the skyAnd a ghost can only say hello by kissing you goodbye
again I think that my dear old friend Stephen Anthony Richard Blackman introduced me to Feist early on . . . .and so I followed then and this cover by Broken Social Scene cropped up in my searches
In 1954 Marlyn stopped off via detour from her honeymoon to entertain the troops in Korea.
Bob Hope started such a things to entertain the boys back four years earlier with a review and stayed for a three hour set before being flown off
MM stayed for 4 days and performed ten times in just a flimsy purple cocktail dress not having brought any costumes and was freezing (it was February!) and still stood in the rain to entertain! Hence the pictures of her wrapped in army fatigues to warm her up. Wonder what Joe [Di Maggio) thought about such a break to his honeymoon!?
Keith Richards playing a Harmony Meteor H70 model guitar at De Lane Lea Studios in London, England.
where the band recorded their second single “I Wanna Be Your Man” on October 7, 1963
Visitors may have noted I once collected Harmony guitars and still have an H162 (the poor man’s Martin!?) which is my pride and joy and eminently payable that I bought years ago now from America when I had a notion you could still buy them cheap (ish) from the States and people often found they had a model in the loft or attic and as the first real Sears & Robuck style catalogue purchase they must have made millions but being that The USA had no shortage of fine woods they were really well built and consequently had/ have a resounding tone and are relatively robust. The electric models still show up in some folks’ collection and early starter model guitars and here Keith was no exception.

Brought to you by the Collective For Live Music draftervoi digitised 2014 (and finished it July 4, 2026)
"This version combines two lossy tracks (the first two songs, "Caribbean Sunset" and "Guts") with a flac file digitized from a cassette tape recorded by Hans Devente. His copy cuts in to "Guts" about halfway through the song. There's a version of this on Archive.org that has the first two songs but is missing the last two songs ("Fear Is A Man's Best Friend" and "I Keep A Close Watch.")
I'm wary of combining different sources, but the sources blended together well-enough that I think this is an improvement over the two incomplete recordings. Yes, the first two songs are from a lossy source, but they sound fine."
John Cale seems to love playing The Netherlands, I wonder why?
