I'd differ in that the "Soundsville" album is all great, not just the Lou tracks. It was clearly a creative environment. I tracked it down on Discogs (yeah, I know, hard work) but it wasn't that expensive - probably because they were printed and sold in bulk, back in the day. The 7" singles are a fortune, but the albums aren't...
I didn't know the Beach Boys tribute album, and .. I guess I'm gonna have to get that magazine.

.. oh that one actually came out in the UK! Must be Lou's first release here...

Isn't that VU UT thing a couple of issues old? Trying to think. There is a new edition just out that I'm not sure what the contents are. Last issue had the Troggs.It may be that you are stuck having to go to source for back issues. I think it sells out elsewhere. Not 100% sure. Otherwise Rough Trade get copies which might mean less postage.

Assuming it is DA Levy himself doing the interview would mean the line between doing a bit & earnest questioning is razor-thin

I think new issue of UT Is just out and hopefully hasn't made it across Atlantic yet. To UK at least. So not sure if there are other outlets around Europe. I'm waiting to hear it's arrived anyway.NOt sure if Rough Trade or anywhere in the UK saves on postage since it is outside EU. Sounds like a good reason to rejoin really dunnit.
BUt not going to help if it's going to Canada.

nice — was wondering if Forced Exposure would have it, too. The Sterling Morrison interview with Ignacio Julia is definitely the best / most comprehensive Q&A he ever did, not sure if there will be more / different stuff in there in this new book.

Assume it means "Everybody is a college graduate." Don't know why he would say that, but then again that is often the case.

No 4K?!? If ever a doco needed it, it’s this one.
― assert (matttkkkk), Thursday, 15 September 2022 21:52 (one year ago) link
The original master is 4K so maybe someday.
A lot of the archival stuff used was in 16mm so it should still look pretty great in HD. Past that, any added resolution is more about improving the film grain as all the captured detail is already there.
― birdistheword, Thursday, 15 September 2022 22:29 (one year ago) link
Actually, I completely forgot they stacked a lot of those films on top of each other, so yeah, 4K would have DEFINITELY been better!
