I don’t think the DPW is at same level as the debut, they’re never going to top that, but it’s still a really solid album, their best for a while I think.
The McNabb is right up there with the recent albums. […]

Got to go with Sea Power as my best of the year, probably the best album they’ve ever made, just a shade ahead of a storming comeback from The Soundcarriers.
Sea Power – Everything Was Forever
The Soundcarriers – […] -

Don’t own a single one but will buy the Alison Cotton when it’s released in a week or so.

It’s actually Dave Anderson playing the bass on Master of the Universe. He maintains the riff was his but didn’t get a writing credit for it. He stayed just long enough to record In Search of Space but was gone by […]

The full gig was broadcast on Radio Trent so it’s been widely circulated over the years. The CD is well worth getting despite the bare-bones packaging and artwork, but for some reason it omits the encores (Willow […]

Gary Moore left part way through the Black Rose tour, apparently not happy about the increasing amount of drug use in the band. They brought in Midge Ure as a temp replacement and later added Dave Flett as an […]

UMC insisted on there being a ‘greatest hits’ element to the box, so the decision to go with a disc of single edit versions, most of which have never made it onto CD, at least gives us something different than yet […]

You must be looking in the wrong place dai, there’s plenty out there. Richer Sounds have a few for a start – Cambridge Audio, Denon, Audiolab, Marantz, Rotel, Technics, Tascam, Cyrus, Rokan, take your pick.

The story about Mike Millard destroying his tapes is just an internet myth. The truth is they remained untouched in his bedroom after his death and until recently his mother didn’t allow anyone to access them. […]

Almost certainly not Rod. Most likely candidate is Pete Hogman of the 5 Dimensions, but his band mate Jimmy Powell reckons it was him. Rod, who played with both in the 5 Dimensions for a short time, comes down on […]

Always preferred Nicely Out of Tune to FOTT myself, thought the material was stronger overall. A shame they ditched John Anthony, his production was excellent on the first album, really should have kept him on for […]

I assume it’s a reference to a Rory bootleg called Checkered Shirt Wizzard (the bootleger’s spelling, not mine) from the Montreux Jazz Festival in July 1977.

Sorry to be a pedant, but the fox head didn’t appear until 1972, on the Sept/Oct tour when they were again supporting Lindisfarne. It then featured in some, but not all, gigs up to early 1973 and was dropped […]

The Van der Graaf album was Charisma’s second release, not their first. Although their manager Tony Stratton-Smith founded Charisma largely because he couldn’t find another label interested in signing them, the […]

Rare Bird’s debut was the first Charisma album, Van der Graaf’s came a couple of months later.

There’s an interesting comment from Iain on SB&Q’s Facebook page that throws the authorship of Sailing into some doubt, posted around a year ago. “Sailing is one of several of my songs wrongly credited in the […]

If you’re on the Lleyn Peninsula then drop in at Ty Coch for a pint, one of my favourite pubs anywhere and recently voted as one of the top ten beach bars in the world. It’s in the tiny village of Porthdinllaen […]

Not exactly cheap at £85.99 on pre-order from the tax dodgers. At half the price they’d have my order already but that’s too rich for me.
