Instrumental versions of the tracks on Loose Talk can be found here:

Also on other streaming platforms and downloads too, apparently. A welcome addition.

Hello John,

I listened to the instrumental songs. Much better than the spoken-word version.

And indeed, the more I listen, the more positive I feel.

I like it.

Holiday - Avalon Aera?

Pictures On A Wall - A piece by Mamouna?

Big Things - Olympia?

I certainly like it. Why hasn't Bryan released more instrumental songs like this? There must be plenty of material in his drawers.

Loose talk: songs for the head.
Loose talk instrumental: music for elevators.

It would be interesting to place the music on Loose Talk - I gather that some of the music is blended - old and new playing - But its hard to imagine some where some of the pieces are from - Big things for example - who's playing the wind instrument / horn ?? Also the title track ... hard to imagine that on any of his later albums - maybe Frantic ( at a stretch) has the feel of a jam at the end of Later Jools Holland.....
