Does that mean “Wonderwall Music” (from 68) isn’t mentioned?

Funny, but of all the people in Europe it was always the English I disliked the most.

If anyone were to call me a traitor – and I’d advise they didn’t – I’d say, “Yep, you’d better believe it.”

Worked up?
Are you George?

If you’re referring to the Paul Simon Uncut, I simply asked “will anyone buy this?”
No one bought any of the 6 issues of the CSNY one in my local shop, and there are still all 7 of the […]

Ella Fitzgerald is EXACTLY what I’m thinking of.
Old hat.
Might as well bung in Frank Sinatra and his crowd.

That’s what, mercifully, Rock ‘n’ Roll destroyed … until the 60s dodgers (Bono etc.) got busy.

Don’t kid yourself this country’s any better.
Tune in to Radio 2 or any Gold or local station if you don’t believe me.

Personally, I think Planet Rawk magazine’s “Greatest albums from the 1970s” from last year is […]

Jazz.
My criteria for buying jazz is (a) “when,” and (b) “does it have a vocalist.”
If the answer to (b) is yes, I don’t buy it.

You’re right about that Uncut Albums Guide … nothing but a shopping list.
I think they’d collectively been reading recent issues of Record Collector where ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING has to get a mention.

Would h […]

I can think of few things worse than that which Paul Gambaccini went through, but if his mood is anything like it was in an interview he gave to The Observer (I think) about a year ago, I agree with you.

And the old chestnut of starting a series about popular music significantly after the dawn of Rock ‘n’ Roll, thereby missing out on albums that the young Dylan, Beatles, Stones and Hendrix might have acquired, is […]

Just the mention of a TOTP in 63 is alarming.
Surely, at the very least, easily checked facts should be easily checked.

Didn’t the accuser of Cliff Richard mention a concert in Sheffield in a year when Cliff […]

My local WH Smith, seven days on, still has the same 7 copies.

Made an uncredited appearance in The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (as did John Thaw and James Fox).
This was before the days when everyone, including the catering van manager’s dog, got a […]

Bought the first three Love albums purely on the cover art / how cool the group looked.

My local WH Smith started with seven copies, so I’ll keep you posted.

Those marks for individual songs are often so bizarre I’m not altogether sure anyone’s heard the album.

It does beg the question why music radio insists on playing Brown Eyed Girl, Brown Sugar, All Right Now, Don’t You Want Me, True etc. ad nauseum.

A plumber came round a couple of months ago and he had Jeremy […]

I feel like the character in “Pictures of Lily.”
Luan Peters is sooooooooooooooo wonderful.

Do they still make beautiful women like Luan Peters?
Is that, genuine question, still a thing?

Paul’s “Come and Get It” is simply, and I really like Badfinger, Badfinger’s “Come and Get It.”

Ironically, the “Free” album cover (1969) is brilliant.
I wonder why that is?

Steve T’s stance is a perfectly reasonable one, and if the S&G issue stays on the shelf for a month or two there is a reasonable chance I might bite, but the CSNY did not sell, to my knowledge, one copy in my […]

I’ve been listening to Dylan’s Witmark Demos (Bootleg Series 9) all weekend, and I’ve come to the conclusion it’s the most enjoyable release in the guy’s whole career.
