Given your tendency to lean into the positive, @artery I suspect you’ll like Ted Lasso, on Apple TV. Well worth a free month’s subs and cancellation.

@Artery

Pretty sure Wimborne is in Dorset – it’s where Robert Fripp comes from/lives.

@Artery I have only met him once at one of his shows at the Mac in Birmingham. In the interval I chatted to him and asked if he would play the song ‘wrapped up in blue’ in the second set. Mid way through the set […]

@artery it is a bit pompous in places but I still do like it. They can be a bit wet (or shite as @retropath2 succinctly describes them.)

Oh I dunno @artery. I think Sinatra and Nelson have done some great albums, albeit Nelson’s were mainly later, when he dropped the Y from his name. I mentioned It’s Up To You earlier, but Ricky and Ricky Sings […]

You’ve opened an interesting door there @Artery!

Googled. This article adds usefully to your comments about Johns

The Biggles comeback starts here!

@artery

Biggles! My mind boggles. I loved Biggles as a kid and you say it’s still ok…wow, Algy, Ginger…who was the German baddie? Erich Von Someone?

Phew! I thought it was just me…. If I was to create a Spotify playlist of essential Hendrix live tracks and started with your 3 selections could anyone recommend others? I see @artery has already below…

@Artery sorry for the delay in answering . Sound Techniques did not have their own lathe and mastering was sent out. John said some mastering was done at Apple I’m afraid I can’t remember any others mentioned. […]

@Artery will do. Sorry you couldn’t get tickets only a small venue alas.

Any luck @Artery?

The wild world of Pontefract at the Cat Club if that’s any help @Artery

@Artery I’ve never read the book so had no idea it might influence my opinion of THG. It was the first album that got me back into Van since ’82’s Beautiful Vision. I saw him (and that wonderful band) in Brighton […]

Agree with you Baron and I hope that Too long in exile and Hymns to the Silence get the extended treatment.
Don’t agree with @Artery that everything post Back on Top is autopilot – Magic Time I think is an excellent album.

I agree with most of what you say @Artery, especially regarding The Grumpy One’s ’80’s albums.

I have the CD & LP on order because I too am a mug, a happy mug when the Post Man brings these. THG is one of my […]

@Artery and @Moose-the-Mooche a more specific location to find these recordings would be appreciated. Asking for a close friend 😉

Well, I have given it a few days and although @artery points out that there are a few unexplained phenomena (Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo) out there – the act of talking to a deceased person is not a common experience or […]

@Artery 3 pages posted, played in strict order.
As for SB&Q I am a bit of a completist. I loved them.
Hope you enjoy the playlist and thanks for the kind words.

Playlist 1

@Artery thanks for your kind words. The SB&Q track was Dream Kid – we loved the whole album, and I could have added half a dozen tracks.

I will post the track-lists later today.
