Had a look on Peters’ wiki page – as that song sounded very unlike him! – and you’re thinking of The Poppy Fields. “Vinyl” sounds interesting though so will keep an eye out for that if it pops up on the telly.

Good stuff, glad that mental itch has been scratched.
I had much the same reaction. Hadn’t heard it in ages and had memories of it being rather good, but it definitely sounds a bit more average than I’d […]

Sounds a bit like this from Poppy Factory?

Oh gosh, you’re right. That’s embarrassing!

That is a fantastic tracklist. If there was any “help” available that’d be much appreciated 🙂

Sounds OK to me, but you probably want to bear in mind that a) I’m really not any kind of an audiophile, b) I’ve not heard the original so have nothing to compare it to and c) I’ve not actually played the live […]

I only bought one thing I bought that counts as an archive release (seems like we’re not counting compilations of Old Stuff) this year, but it’s worth a vote:
“Author! Author!” – Scars

How about a selection from the 13hour Spotify playlist of Stuff I Was Listening To In School (so that’s things before mid-1986) that was the last thing I played?
“For America” – Red Box
“Never Never” – The […] -

Urm, isn’t that R.E.M song called “Me In *Honey*”? Have you conflated it with “Near Wild Heaven” that’s also on the album…?

So, traditional behind-the-scenes swap feedback for @stellarx
I enjoyed all of this on one level or another (OK, the fact that I already own five of them probably helps!), though obviously some more than […]

Oh wow.
I now can’t quite articulate how much I want to hear them reform and cover that!

Thought it was safe to do the reveal as I knew you’d already written your feedback, which was generally positive so I’ll take that 🙂
Not sure I’m actually that experimental or envelope-pushing, especially as […]

I remember them playing a secret gig under the Completely Impossible To Decipher name of “Toilets of Destruction”.
Even that wasn’t quite as blatant as Gaye Bykers On Acid trying to go incognito as “Lesbian […]

Ah didn’t spot this until after I’d posted the tracklist 🙂
Yep, it’s FotL.

If anyone wants to hear this, then the expanded version (CD-length – roughly – with bonus tracks that didn’t quite make the cut) is here on Spotify:

Big reveal then…
First up, if you were wondering about the cover art, I haven’t got access to a printer at the moment, so they’re the most vaguely futuristic pictures I could find in an old copy of Digital Pho […]

Workbook is great I agree, I personally like the next one (“Black Sheets of Rain”) too, but it doesn’t seem to be a favourite of too many other people.
Also, he’s put out another one (“Blue Hearts”) since then […]

That shows that it’s been a while since I heard that Pulp track, as I’d completely forgotten the “live” noises at the start! I do remember thinking halfway through that it did sound a bit polished for a live version 🙂

The version of #4 that I discarded was by Tony Jackson and the Vibrations. Jackson was in the Searchers for a while, including singing on “Sweets for my Sweet”, and was apparently responsible for Brian Epstein […]
