The TV adverts for Father's Day Records/ CD's always assume that dads only like Bit Pop type stuff (Oasis, Dodgy, Supergrass etc.) or compilations of "Rock Classics" featuring Free, Steppenwolf, Meatloaf etc.
Personally I'd rather be trapped in a "Dutch Oven" after Mrs. P had a meal exclusively of cruciferous vegetables than have to endure that done-to-death pap. :(
I know my girls would not make that assumption. They will ask me what I would like. Favourite choices at the mo would be Jorja Smith or Lake Street Dive. :)
The "record store" unit in my local Sainsbury's has drifted from being front of house to a dark corner of the shop. It has only ever seemed to contain the same dozen or so LPs, with the noble exception of the two compilations curated by Bob Stanley of Saint Etienne. Last autumn I read that those Own Label records were to be the first in a series but six months down the line things seems to have gone quiet.
If music is reduced to being commoditised as a choice between 12 "classic albums" for a Father's Day gift then that's rather missing the point. It's a bit different to baked beans or bog rolls and my family know that I love music, so they'd never dream of buying me a packet of it from a supermarket. Top of my current wish list is Orange Goblin's 2004 LP, which I suspect isn't on Sainsburys' radar...
