Paul Macca had words for mother Mary – let it be.

You’re welcome, Fatz.

Very good! 😀

I think the Joyce estate did something similar. Ace Records extended copyright in a Zombies track or two (for the band, that it) a few years back when they were preparing a box set and a tambourine part in a mono […]

It’s possible the current Brexit negotiation all-nighter has just got stuck on the thorny issue of progressive-rock box set imports into Northern Ireland, and whether the DUP can stomach it.

Yes.

It looks like a fair cover concept badly executed – that green and the spacecraft don’t work together and the lettering looks desktop-ish. Urgh…

Splendid post, Carlmeister. I enjoyed the episodes – though with Spiral, the whole thing is always a bit like watching a car crash over several episodes. Also, as others have said, the aura of grime and sweat and […]

Thanks Razor. WookaBoss Adele politely asked me not to post any clips of tracks from their new album as she wanted people to hear them on the album first – but realistically, that’s not going to happen for most […]
