[356] Damon & Naomi & Batoh & Kurihara - It's All Over Now Baby Blue / Yoo Doo Right
This beautiful live single features Damon & Naomi with Batoh and Kurihara performing covers of songs by Bob Dylan and Can and was released on Grimsey Records in 1999.
This is probably my absolute favourite 7” single in this series† everything about it is perfect: the sleeve, designed by Naomi; the label illustrated by Yumiko Yada; the clear vinyl; the choice of covers, and their performance; the way the label credits them as d&n&b&k; even the fact that despite running for over seven minutes the a-side was cut at 45rpm.
Grimsey was the baby of Andrea Troolin, who was also, while working at Rykodisc, the person who piloted the Galaxie 500 box set through to release.
I bought the single direct from Andrea on release for, as far as as I remember, pennies. The single arrived with a postcard promoting Damon & Naomi’s tour of Japan in October 1999.
I don’t think this has had a digital release, it was for some reason missed off the Spirit of Love compilation, although you can find both sides on YouTube A/B.
