Personal Best Records: Skyscraper Stan

Answered by: Stan Woodhouse

Best record you stole from your folks' collection? The Beano Album by John Mayall & The Blues Breakers. Best thing Clapton ever did.

First record you bought? Pretty sure it was The Planets by Gustav Holst. Either that or Swing When You're Winning by Robbie Williams. Both ripper composers.

Record you put on when you're really miserable? These days it's Sweetheart Of The Rodeo by The Byrds. The lapsteel all throughout the record is the happiest sound imaginable.

Record you put on when you bring someone home? Rubber Factory by The Black Keys if they were drinking beer, anything by James Carr if they were drinking wine.

Most surprising record in your collection? Records don't fit in a suitcase so well. I have no collection. Maybe one day, when I grow up.

Last thing you bought/downloaded? A 10" of Emma Donovan & The Putbacks doing Down City Streets with Archie Roach. 

When and where are your next gigs? 1 April, The Bearded Lady.
