  4. Reissue priced at £40.99, yours (new, sealed) for £25 posted UK. OMD’s 1985 album Crush, will be reissued for its 40th anniversary in October. The band’s sixth album features the singles ‘So In Love,’ and ‘Secret’, with the former reaching the top 30 of the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. The 2LP vinyl edition features seven unreleased tracks. Both formats include rare photos and comprehensive notes by journalist and author Jason Draper in conversation with Andy McCluskey. The 40th anniversary re-release of Crush has been a wonderful opportunity for us to re-assess the album. 1985 was a period of great intensity with constant touring and time pressure in the studio, but we created a powerful collection of songs and lyrical themes. In hindsight, we made a much better album than we knew at the time. Two hit singles ‘So in Love’ and ‘Secret’ remain live set constants to this day. ANDY MCCLUSKEY
  5. A deluxe, limited edition 3-disc CD/blu-ray set of the superb new album from John Lees' Barclay James Harvest. Quite the return to form after nine years. Includes a blu-ray disc with the 5.1 surround sound mix of the album by Stephen W. Tayler. Also includes a bonus CD of a previously unreleased concert recorded in the USA in 2009, featuring the late Wooly Wolstenholme. Amazon price £27.69, this new sealed three disc set can be yours for £19 posted UK. NOW £17 NOW £15
  6. Funnily enough I edited that bit as it was 1979, and I thought maybe not so relevant…
  7. AFAIK Stewart doesn’t approve of the group continuing. But then he is 80… Gouldman slightly younger. GG is definitely boss of the current iteration. He has a post-gig curry delivered to his own dressing room. Nice work if you can get it!
  8. Mike Campbell- Heartbreaker Acclaimed autobiography of Tom Petty’s right hand man. Why wait six months for the paperback? Perfect hardback copy. Cover price £25, yours for £18 posted UK. Now £16…Now £15 This is genuinely my favourite music biography of the past year. Though I will never feel the same about Tom Petty again… Bit of publishers blurb: When a chance encounter with a guidance counsellor inspired him to enrol in the University of Florida, Campbell - broke, with nowhere else to go and the Vietnam draft looming - moved into a rundown farmhouse in Gainesville, where he met a twenty-year-old Tom Petty. They were soon inseparable. Together they chased their shared dream all the way to Los Angeles, where Campbell would meet his destiny, and the love of his life, Marcie. It was an at-times gruelling dream come true that took Campbell from the very bottom to the absolute top, where Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers would remain for decades, creating an astonishing body of work. Brilliant, soft-spoken and intensely private, Campbell opens up within these pages for the first time, revealing himself to be an astute observer of triumphs, tragedies and absurdities alike, with a songwriter's eye for the telling detail and a voice as direct and unpretentious as his music. Heartbreaker is Mike Campbell's heartfelt portrait of one throwaway kid's lifesaving love of music and the creative heights he achieved.

  9. There’s been a mega fallout between Gouldman and Stewart, sadly. Also, Jonathan King skims/skimmed off royalties as payment for letting them leave his UK label. I asked GG if that still applied and got very short shrift! All in all, quite a story.
  10. Too much talent in one band, I guess…
  11. Staggered that hasn’t been cancelled, tbh!
  12. I saw the original line-up - awesome. Still catch the GG version, Rick Fenn is highly underrated on guitar.
  13. Are you available to hire? Ross Kemp unavailable on Fridays…😉
