Ah gotcha. Shame really as I’d be more up for a split of the later bits.

Maybe your taste was more in keeping. Sneering superior arseholes every time I bought there.

Blimey – Hot Rats beats it by 2 years. Bitches Brew? In a Silent Way? And to stick with Miles’s band members, Tony Williams Emergency also 1969. Not sure how JM gets any credit here, apart from playing on 3 of the above.

Back in the day, their racks would be black and white photocopies of albums stuck onto cardboard, giving the sales person ample opportunity to sneer at your choice, “woofers and tweeters” style as the offending […]

Nice one Twang. I’ve got this in my wishlist, but am now confused – the cover and the details are of a 3CD box that includes 1970 material – per your photo above. Is this a separate disc broken out from the box? […]

I hear he did a road hog.

Burn the heretic! Not a fiddle fan i’m afraid. Great melody. Would have benefitted from the Tinseltown treatment meted out to Peaches and Brown Shoes I think. There’s a nicely shambolic live version on the […]

Oh no there isn’t*
