First up my complete praise for the newly released first ever CD of Ivor Cutler's 1983 Rough Trade album "Privilege". It sounds beautiful - Clive Painter has done an excellent job in remastering. In fact it's nigh on pristine, with just a few barely noticeable glitches indicating that the transfer has been made from vinyl. However none of us would have an LP (let alone the cartridge/turntable/pre-amp combination) which could match the startling quality of this version.
The new cover design includes the LP's original Cutler family photo - and in the 6 page booklet his son Jeremy explains the real life story of the photo and title (which has nothing to do with the album contents). Other "2009" features in the booklet are reminiscences by the backing musicians and producers David Toop and Steve Beresford, as well as from his friend and accompanying vocalist Linda Hirst - who has a beautiful classically trained voice, very much akin to the late great Joyce Grenfell.
"Privilege" is a relaxing and stimulating album, a treat for both the ears and brain. A wonderful tribute to Ivor, and a great credit to Jeremy Cutler in demonstrating his stated aim to preserve and distribute his father's recordings. "Hoogi House Records" have proven they deserve maximum support by buyers for this and every subsequent release.

Ivor Cutler described himself as having an over developed sense of the ridiculous. He delivered his musings in such a wonderful dead-pan that it made nonsense seem quite profound, although there was often profundity. This is the first release of this album on CD and a welcome return it is too. If you are a fan of Ivor Cutler then you will love this it has all the usual ingredients of a Cutler album with new episodes of Life in a Scotch Sitting Room and Jungle Tips. There are some re-releases that are an immediate must buy and this was one of then. Listening to this again it gives me a warm glow inside. Mr Cutler was a gift to the world and we should all be grateful for the legacy he left.

Well, it's finally available on CD. I have owned a vinyl of this for quite a while now, but rarely got the chance to listen to it since I don't own a record player.
The songs on this are great, and the addition of Linda Hyrst makes it more interesting than your usual Cutler LP. There are the usual wee poems too, and also a couple of Life In A Scotch Living Room episodes.
The last track is such a wonderful idea. Pity the one woman to take over was perhaps not who Ivor had in mind!
Buy this album, you will love yourself for doing so.
