Despite my dissapointment with "The Door", their latest release, I love the energy in this live track by Religious Knives from their Live @ Big Jar Books recording. It's not them at their freakout finest, but it's still got something to it which keeps me playing it again and again and again.

In 1961 Harold Williamson travelled the United Kingdom asking children questions about life. The resulting interview were broadcast on Radio 4 and later on Radio 2. A selection of the recordings were also released on Vinyl, which is what we have here.

I find these recoding amazing, they are such a fascinating document of the time. The history books are not full of the voices of children, of what they beleived, and their responses, and the questions and statements made by the interviewer, are a great document of what the world was like, through children's eyes, back then.

I originally brought this record as I thoguth it would make great sample material. I have yet to take advantage of that, but having listened to it again I thought it had to be shared.
