there is a little technicality that I would like to discuss. the albums "Feels Good to Me", "One of a Kind", "Gradually Going Tornado", "The Bruford Tapes" and "Rock Goes to College" are filed in the archives under "Bruford, Bill". the album covers do however not indicate that at all; the given artist name is just "Bruford". I therefore suggest that those albums are filed accordingly, just as the albums of Greenslade are not filed under "Greenslade, Dave". the albums were apparently not meant to be solo albums but rather albums of a band that just happened to be named after the family name of the drummer

Bruford was supposed to be a band. As far as I know.
And you're correct that the albumsleeve shows just Bruford.

nowhere does it say "Bill Bruford" as artist name on the sleeve of "Feels Good to Me". the name only appears in the line-up of the band

How about changing it to Bill?
Goes well with some other bands already featured here, like fx Ben and Fred.

Sorry José
Some times my fingers just won't listen to reason. They write up stuff that bypasses my brain-captain.

While there does seem to be a stylistic difference between the "Bruford" band's music and Bill's other albums, the collection EG released when CDs were still a new thing has all "Bruford" tracks, but is clearly labeled "Bill Bruford".
 
 
Is he gargling while playing?
 
ETA: Oops.  There are some Bruford & Moraz tracks on the collection.

Nah I just found this picture somewhere over the net and was truly captivated by how mad it is. Semi-naked kid playing what looks like metal, adults looking wholly inebriated (booze and wine on the table) - plus someone about to take the plunge into the floor. Marvellous!

I just noticed for the first time the BBs Earthworks has a separate listing from his Feels Good...- Gradually GT era. That being the case, PA's entry for those three albums should be listed as "Bruford".

I wonder who needs saving....the kid or the adults?? Anyhow, I'll let my mind think it is a family pic of you during a New Years Eve bash, it's either 11:58PM or 12:05AM LOL

I referred to the spine of the LP, and it states Bill Bruford. Haven't pulled it out for a long, long time so I forgot.........
