SDE back in Blighty
This time last week I was holed up in The Washington Square Hotel in ‘The Village’ in New York City, writing day three of my NYC diary. What a fantastic trip, made all the better thanks to your feedback and comments – sharing great info about record shops and places to eat. I even had the pleasure of SDE reader Greg’s company on the Thursday evening (we went for Pizza), which was extraordinary given that it was Thanksgiving and he had family at home!

David McAlmont on The Sound of McAlmont & Butler 20 years on
Singer and songwriter, David McAlmont talks to SuperDeluxeEdition about his work with Bernard Butler and the Sound of McAlmont & Butler album which was released 20 years ago and has been recently reissued as deluxe edition.
SuperDeluxeEdition: I understand it, if we go back to the beginning, it was the Jazz Cafe where Bernard Butler came to see you? Is that where you first met?
David McAlmont: Yes. I was supposedly up and coming then. I had been in Thieves and we created an album and we decided to go our separate ways. And Saul [Freeman] didn’t want me to promote the album as Thieves which I think was a shame really because it is a Thieves record it is not a David McAlmont record, it was half of it rather than the whole of it. But yes, so that was beginning to work. And I did a show at the Jazz Cafe and Bernard showed up. My guitarist was complaining about going on stage saying that he was too nervous and he couldn’t go on. I was like “Why?” He said “Because Bernard Butler is out there”

SDE New York diary: Day Four
SDE Editor, Paul Sinclair, is in New York during Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Record Store Day. He’ll be checking out the best of what record stores are left in Manhattan, heading over to Brooklyn for more vinyl and CD exploration and talking to shop owners, and record buyers. Read about his adventures in this last diary post of the trip.
Day 4 / Saturday 27 November
I’m certainly putting in the mileage. I wish I had one of those ‘Fitbit’ activity monitors, because I’ve done SO much walking – my feet are sore, my back is sore!
I was VERY tempted to head down to Princeton today, to the Princeton Record Exchange (described by one SDE reader as ‘the second best record shop in the world’) but after careful consideration I decided there was still too much I hadn’t done in New York and a three-hour round trip out of town to see one record shop (however good) wasn’t the right move. This would be my last day of record-shopping, so it would be ridiculous to go home on Sunday evening without seeing what Brooklyn had to offer.
