Malcolm McLaren died earlier this month on the 8th April 2010 of progressive cancer.The term that instantly sprung to mind when I heard the news was that of "impresario". It is a term that only a very few can legitimately use, but I think it certainly fits this individual. His creativity changed ideas for more artists than can be listed here. From fashion, design, image and music, his influence affected hundreds, and although his methods sometimes made unpopular amongst those he worked with, he will still be dearly missed.
Whenever someone of Malcolm's influence passes away, I wade through my music collection and create an 'ideal' memorial album. From my own experiences of compiling legal compilations, I know how difficult it can be licensing this type of compilation, but the joy I get from making these has never left me, so I still feel the need to create these albums, even if no record companies are interested in them anymore.
