  • Antarctica – Evangelos Papathanassiou – Scarce Vinyl Pressing 1983

    Antarctica – Evangelos Papathanassiou – Scarce Vinyl Pressing 1983

    Fine copy of the soundtrack by “Vangelis” to Koreyoshi Kurahara’s 1983 film about the 1958 ill-fated Japanese scientific expedition to the South Pole, and the dramatic rescue from impossible weather conditions on their return journey. It’s as much about the survival of some of the dogs initially left behind as the people. Vangelis was invited to produce his dramatic electronic music score after the worldwide success of Chariots of Fire and Blade Runner.

    The film was not that successful overseas, whilst being the Japanese sponsored entry it was not accepted in the foreign language section of the Academy Awards. Back home in Japan the beautiful huskies managed to get the film a Popularity Award.

    Vangelis on the other hand shows his usual innovation and brilliance. Rare Japanese pressing. Perfect Condition.

    Best listened to with the aircon very low

  • Tasmanian Vision – The art of nineteenth century Tasmania

    Tasmanian Vision – The art of nineteenth century Tasmania

    Published by the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery in 1988. Oblong Landscape soft wrapper production of 115 pages with over 200 hundred illustrations, the more important works in scale and colour. A little ageing to the covers but really a very good copy for a softcover.

    From page 94 onwards are excellent biographies of the artists selected including … Mary Allport, Ludwig Becker, Thomas Bock, Boyes, Louis Breton, Brownrigg, Knut Bull, Chapman, Costantini, Robert Dowling, William Duke, Frank Dunnett, Benjamin Duterrau, Augustus Earle, G.F. Evans, Sarah Fogg. Haughton Forrest, George Frankland ….. through to John Webber. An impressive list and nicely described with sufficient worthwhile commentary. Further back we have a useful bibliography for a lifetime of further reading on this important topic.

    A possible bonus is two postcard included (if you remember what they are for!) … Thomas Buck’s beautiful portraits of Woureddy a Native of Bruny Island and Mathinna.

    Tasmanian 19th century art … well done and nicely illustrated

    The authors Thomas Minto and Eric Stevens. The main story is the search for the Kobenhaven, a magnificent five-masted Danish trading vessel which went missing on a voyage from the River Plate to Melbourne in 1928. The steam powered Junee was sent to find her, Minto was third mate. Alas the Kobenhaven was never found what we have here is a reminiscence of the attempts of the Junee in very difficulty conditions.
