History is vindicating “The nightmare of JB Stanislas”, the cursed disc that Nick Garrie published in 1970 and which barely got to see the light of day. But as if there were a rush of poetic justice, the album is experiencing its second youth and finally getting the recognition it deserves, thanks to the magnificent new edition that Elefant Records worked on last year, which rises to the occasion as a double CD with many extras. A youthfulness that the work’s author is also experiencing, since, after many years of silence, he released “49 Arlington Gardens” two years ago, with the invaluable help of some of the big names on the Scottish scene, like Duglas T. Stewart (BMX BANDITS), Norman Blake (TEENAGE FANCLUB) and Ally Kerr.

The news this time is about audiovisuals, because 42 years after its release, “The nightmare of JB Stanislas” will have its first video for the marvelous “Wheel of Fortune”. Our friends at Llaüt Digital (also responsible for other videos for Elefant’s bands, like PAPA TOPO or the latest one from BLA) have made a beautiful homage to that magical music, recreating a tape that evokes the psychedelia of the 60s, the old pop movies with their touches of humor, a contemporary world intermingling with Victorian personalities, colored by the usual wheel of fortune. It is an interesting step forward in the unstoppable movement of the reaffirmation of Nick Garrie’s figure and that inimitable album.
