@duco01 when I say dispensed with I mean over and above the 2 cd set that already exists. The live performances of key Trust songs were actually last year so unless he is going to use those Ibam not sure there are […]

I am pretty excited tbh. From 1978 to 1982 the Attractions were the best live band around. Looking forward to Arned Forces, this Years Model, Get Happy, King of America and Brutal Youth. Can dispense with Punch […]

Yeah all well and good @retropath2 but who are the experts? That certainly isn’t clear from where I am standing. Certainly not out health department and the scientists seem to have conflicting views.

That’s a bit Draconian isn’t? Why dont you just shoot them?

For what its worth I dont know any older people who have remained in lockdown.

I agree with @dai the virus seems to be as virulent but far less dangerous which may be that it has mutated. Or it could be that there is a level of herd immunity by default. One thing though – the level of […]

What you mean an Inarticulate speech from the fart?

Richard Thompson falls out with his son in law.
He has clearly gone off The Rails.

His songwriting is patchy? Dont think so.
Take away the throwaway jokey songs I dont think it is patchy at all.

I misunderstood
Turning of the Tide

Would have picked Persuasion but its a co-write so assume it doesn’t account – the rules are not very clear this time around. I assume the poster got fed up of them being […]

With increasing automation It would be better to offer a reduced working week say to 4 days initially and 3 eventually.
This would surely reduce mass unemployment.

Don’t disagree with that at all Mike. I was using the potential value to aid my argument that some Boxsets are worth owning. I am a big fan of Nils Lofgren – as soon as his boxset was announced I had to buy it. As […]

You are completely right about Songs of Freedom – excellent set.

I wasn’t suggesting that I would sell any of my boxsets – they are precious to me. However in the likely event that I peg it before my missus I am […]

I agree that most will largely sit unplayed but that would apply to other non boxset releases too. Very few of us except @Tiggerlion have the time to play each new album 6 times. In that respect you may be right […]

Were the urinals the members club?

They certainly didn’t employ Claudia Winkleman for her broadcasting skills. Truly dreadful. And she needs to get her bloody fringe cut.

Didn’t Sweden trial it with little success?

You are so wrong. The box is sumptuous, very well done and there is enough unreleased stuff to satisfy die hard fans.
‘No boxset ever released is worth paying actual money for’ is a ridiculous comment. If I take […]

According to Trump its Forest management that is the problem and dont worry folks because it is going to get colder.
What a chimp

I agree – it’s a fantastic box and even though I have probably 75 percent of it, buying it in this form was a no brainer. Hoffman’s site is giving itself a bad name.

I would second Watching the Dark which is the only place (I think) to find Galway to Graceland. Would also add Mock Tudor and Rumor and Sigh as essentials but if you are looking specifically at Richard and Linda […]
