Got a nice one from Chris Sievey, had asked him if he’d a copy of The Freshies – The Men From Banana Island ep which was as rare as rocking horse droppings even back then, he told me to send him a couple of pounds […]

Otway was in the process of signing a disc for me once when some wag behind commented “that’s halved the resale price” which made Otway laugh

@rigiddigit Alice Cooper Detroit City 2021

or Detroit City 2020 (from the Breadcrumbs e.p.)

or Detroit City (from the Eyes of )

A sort of musical urban regeneration by the Coop?

Only the first three Jackie Leven albums were put on on vinyl and they now go for silly money.

For the cover art alone Night Lilies, Defending Ancient Springs, Creatures of Light and Dark and Shinning Brother […]

Hopefully the show will take place as it will most […]

Good on you for sorting this L0W, as of this moment the list looks like this, in the next moment it will probably be different…
