Seconded on all points. I must dig out that interview – I think I dubbed it from cassette to MD “for posterity”! I must have thought that the cassette would self-destruct!

Inevitably – the “hit rate” for 50 LPs is likely to be higher than for two or three. So you’re suggesting that it’s a function of volume rather than quantity?

Any thoughts on the Bob/Machine conundrum? Just me? I’ll need to listen again, back to back, and see if I’ve really lost the plot this time…

Well, of course…

Alternatively… Ferry leaves Roxy after For Your Pleasure, leaving Eno in charge…

I’ll be buying this. Absolutely the best of the new progressive bands – I’ve been listening to them since they first started, and I’ve enjoyed every album. But I’ve never seen them live – so the live dvds et […]

I can only agree with fortuneight – take some time and decompress. Walking and losing a bit of weight sounds good – I did something similar when I retired (also at 59, funnily enough). The other thing I did was […]

I should have added this – Al Stewart has form for this kinda thing, of course… “ A single biplane in a clear blue sky, 1917, no enemy was seen high above the fields of France”

Felicitations to you and Mrs F. As it happens, today is also my parents’ wedding anniversary – would have been 65 years. Within the family, referred to as “the day war broke out”!
