I saw Bob Willis bowl in the Edgbaston test in 1981. I was thrilled to meet the man and shake hands with him. It was at a Bob Dylan concert in Brixton sometime in the nineties. He was great to chat to. Rest In Peace Bob.

Er, no, sorry. It’s a pun (homophone) of my initial and surname.

Yes please. It’s been a good year for music – new and archive.

I would also recommend the Hendrix In The West LP. Note that the original 1971 (or so) LP has some different tracks to the CD reissue. However, both are very good. It includes stunning versions of Red House, […]

I bought the vinyl. It sounds amazing. The cover is embossed in gold, including the wonderful pictograms for each song inside the gatefold. Mastering is credited to Stephen Marcussen though the the initials BG in […]

What does it sound like?:

Subtitled “The Complete Mainman Recordings”, this 4 CD release on Cherry Red sweeps up pretty much all Mick Ronson’s solo recordings from the period between 1974 and 1979. The first […]

Thanks @Hubert_Rawlinson So the great Island records were sometimes mastered at Abbey Road I presume. Now that is news. Thanks so much for asking!

19 for me, heard a few more. Their selection isn’t always the album I would choose by the artist.

This could be great. This is the opening song lyric. Leonard knew it was a great song but said “I never quite nailed the vocal”. Well, I expect “never quite” to still be very good indeed.

HAPPENS TO THE […]

Congratulations! My Dad was a postie, then local office manager, all his working life post war. Naturally I did the post at Christmas for several seasons. I once delivered a package to Jimmy Tarbuck. His words of […]

@hubert-rawlinson No luck. Sold out I’m afraid. Assuming there are questions from the audience I wonder if you could ask a question on my behalf? I have always wondered about the mastering to vinyl of the […]

Thanks @hubert-rawlinson We’re keen to go – never been to the licorice fields of Pontefract. However the Cat Club website says tickets are “out of stock”. Hmm. I’ll give them a ring tomorrow. Assuming they are […]

Where’s John Wood appearing Hubert? I would very much like to meet the great man.
Artery commented on the post, Bad Company – The Swansong Years 1974-1982 2 months, 4 weeks ago

My very first gig was at Fairfield Hall, Croydon with Genesis, Lindisfarne and Van Der Graaf Generator – in that order! Not recorded, alas. I also saw Bowie there twice in 73 and a near 4 hour Fairport Convention […]
Artery commented on the post, Who listens in Surround Sound? 3 months, 4 weeks ago

I used my retirement money to buy an Oppo, receiver and 5 big speakers for the front room. I enjoy surround sound a lot. Electric Ladyland is a great one. Even the dreaded Topographic Oceans is hugely improved by […]
Artery commented on the post, Afterword top 60 albums of the last 60 years! 4 months ago

Well I bought Hunky Dory before Ziggy came out: February 10th 1072 IIRC. Rather valuable laminated first pressing that I still have.

Most of Ziggy (all but Starman) was recorded in December 1971.

Nietzsche may well be assuming that the composer and librettist are separate people. The lyrics to many operas are clunky to say the least, but the tunes may well be heavenly.

Anyway, I can’t agree from my […]

A second vote for the taxi tour. We did it 2 years ago and it was brilliant.

Get Live At The Lyceum on vinyl. I bought it on release and it is the bee’s knees of live albums. I bought a back up copy recently for a tenner which sounds just as good as my first press copy.

I am really […]
