Really sad news and, yes, a huge Dylan fan.
I’m sure he even did an introduction to one of the many Dylan books. -

Not much you can add to that really, except that the clever money has always been to do the opposite of what the industry pushes at you.
Buying CDs thirty years ago was expensive. Vinly was cheap.
Buying vinly […] -

Crazy, isn’t it?
Hot Rats is £108 … the 4cd Freak Out is £32 … the 3cd Uncle Meat is £8!
Is Hot Rats better than Freak Out?
If it is, is it that much better than Freak Out?I think Zappa’s people have just though […]

Sounds more vague than England’s tactics in the 2002, 2006 and 2010 World Cups.
“Try really hard,” “Give 150%,” “Play for the shirt,” “We deserve it,” from memory. -

Maybe.
The fact that 2019 minus 1969 = 50 and a lot of things happened in 1969 are more obvious reasons. -

Each to his/her own etc. etc. but with the set you mention retailing at £29 for 6 CDs, it seems strange that people are prepared to pay “think-of-a-number, double-that-number, add £128” for packages that o […]

The trick is re: Beatles – Stones – Who – frankly, anyone or anything …
What would Liam or Noel Gallagher reckon?Got that in mind?
Do the opposite.
That mindset will never, ever fail you. -

“I sort of remember the album Exile On Main Street being done in France and also in the USA, and after that going on tour and becoming complacent, and thinking … it’s 1972, fuck it, we’ve done it.”

Bit punky with folk leanings?
Where do you buy it?
More importantly, is it available on a £30 cassette? -

… and, of course, their fantastically low interest/knowledge of Rock ‘n’ Roll (started in 1965 apparently) has meant walking out of such shops with numerous expensive records and CDs that have been bought for peanuts.

I’m sorry, but that reissue chart is a shocker.
Next time any of us have the urge to criticise Uncut, Mojo or Record Collector, I think we should remember that abysmal Top 20.

Quietus wouldn’t know a Larry Williams b-side if it kicked them up the arse.
This poll is an absolute must-read if you want to avoid 2019. I wouldn’t be without it.

In 2019, 1969 has had an absolute blinder.
Couldn’t move for magazines with Brian Jones, Stooges, Space Oddity Bowie, Kinks, Beatles, Jimi, Dylan etc. on the cover.
Living 69 via these excursions throughout the […]

I agree.
Australia got 589.
West Indies (on a road) laboured on – in scorching heat against an England team at the end of a Tour – to 751.The Aussies, rightly, are trying to win the game.
West Indies, who were […] -

Yes, I was the same with the escalator and the King’s Cross fire.
You think at first, “Wow, that was close,” then rightly reason that millions of people are between you and the incident when it actually happens. -

That 68 concert at the Royal Albert Hall feels more like 1975.
I don’t mean that as a compliment. -

I wish he had beaten the Lara one.
The West Indies forfeited the chance of winning a Test Match so Lara could achieve a personal milestone.
I don’t call that sport. -

Tempted as I am by the Band of Gypsys (I presume HMV had it but a side-show of the box set fad is their complete invisibility on the shop floor), could I justify £50 for such a thing?
I decided not, opting […]

“Hendrix in the West” seems to have had a second wind, or perhaps it’s just old stock, but it was definitely in HMV’s CD racks a fortnight ago, priced at about £5.99.
