Peter Gutteridge

1961-2014

…my cups half empty today…and Pete’s never got filled…

…eating his favourite New World Supermarket loose buns for morning tea at Too Tone…

…(yes, there were 4 before the photo was taken)….

…miss you buddy.

…(a link to Grant’s obit’, as mentioned in the comments below….

…)….

….(check the link in the comments section below for a radio show Pete did with Spencer Hall some time back on Radio 1)…

…(…and the Dunedin Public Library library has a display up…it could use some flowers…just saying….

….).

It Could Be Pure Coincidence

…but…

… a delegate from the North East Valley Scraggly Musician League  popped into the shop the other day…

 

…with a long winded story about the resurrection of some long lost musical gem…

 

…of which the last known cassette-only copy was a  victim of a very serious dose of liquefaction during the CHCH earthquakes….

…all songs lovingly restored from the barely legible liner notes…

…sound quality checked (and passed) by the hearingly challenged at Too Tone records…

…and finally available on orange vinyl….just in time to pay for Pete’s xmas dinner….

…(make the xmas face, Pete)…

 

….hurry whilst stocks la….

…fuck…

…sold out.

 

…(thank you Pete for letting me check out the test press and bringing me some copies to sell, thank you David for helping Pete liase with non-valley residents, thank you Mick for digging your copy of Pure out of the liquefaction in your Mum’s garage & letting me take photos of it….and  a big hug to the team at 540 records…wish I’d had the forethought to record Pete as he talked me thru the whole thing, track by track (twice)….you could have released a version with commentary…’spose it’s not too late to put Pete in the post…what’s your address?…).
