Ivor Cutler other places


Wikipedia has a good discography and bibliography on Ivor Cutler, but what has he done in collaboration with other people? I found this site, and checked my own records to make this list:
1972 : "The Dong With The Luminous Nose" on Neil Ardley's "A Symphony of Amaranths"
1972 : "Little Red Robin Hood Hits The Road" and "Little Red Riding Hood Hits The Road" on Robert Wyatt's "Rock Bottom"
1974/5: "Grass" on the Virgin Sampler "V"
1980 : "Arsloch" on 7” by Vogel (picture) (Recommended Records)
1992 : "I'm Busy" on Ponk Records collection "Passed Normal Volume 5"
199? : "A New Consciousness" with Pete Namlook and Charles Uzzell-Edwar (????)
1993 : "Wheely Down" with Ian Kearey on the Richard Thompson tribute "The World Is A Wonderful Place"
1980 : "Brooch Boat" on "Miniatures: A sequence of fifty-one tiny masterpieces". Edited by Morgan Fisher.
Cover versions: Robert Wyatt sings "Grass" on a Rough Trade 7” (RT081, 1981), and it is also included on "Nothing Can Stop Us" (Rough35).
If you know any more, please make comments to this post.

Hi Svenn

one thing you didn't mention is the Drury Lane Concert, where Ivor Cutler contributed to "Little Red Riding Hood Hit The Road".
This recording has been released by Hannibal Records under the title of "Robert Wyatt & Friends: Theatre Royal Drury Lane 8th September 1974" in 2005. Until then, it was only available as a bootleg ("Las Vegas Fandango").

Ah, yes! Thank's! I got the Drury Lane Concert CD of course, but I have never actually seen the bootleg. I have to comment on my own in the Norweegian blog then :-)

Hi Svenn

there is a book in Italian which is about to be reprinted. It sports Ivor on the cover - actually a beautiful pix Silvia Lelli (wife of Roberto Masotti, the great ECM photographer) did in London at Cutler's house. You can have a look at it at:

In the book you find all the stuff Ivor did from Magical Mystery Tour onwards. To date, in Italian.
