Rascalities, Part One.
Steve Gore was in the process of collecting a huge amount of archive material by the Rascal Reporters into a 16 CD set to be called Rascalities. He sent me the first volume maybe a year and a half ago, the first 4 CDs, although I didn't have much time to go through it then, being a new dad. I recently have begun re-listening to this material and intend to write a proper review here as it comes along. I do not know if Steve had finished organizing the full set of material, all 16 CDs, before the accident which took him away from us. But I do also have a pile of cassettes that Steve made for me of unreleased material. Some of it is flat out amazing and will take some time to revisit. I intend to carefully go through and catalog this collection. I consider it some of the best music I've ever heard and wish more people could hear it.
So I am now dedicating a certain amount of this blog to reviewing the collected work of the Rascal Reporters. Coming soon. Get ready.
