  1. The very excellent Gerald Johnson. I nearly filled in for him at a soundcheck in the Hammy Odeon circa 1983 when he was stuck in traffic. Sadly he is a lefty so I didn’t offer my services...
  2. New publication £6 post inclusive Status Quo Special -114 pages RRP £8.49 This Quo-only special edition features brilliant writing on their greatest albums, expert guides to their most collectable records – from the most sought-after picture sleeves to worldwide rarities, a comprehensive UK discography, fantastic features on everything from their psych beginnings to their formative influences to their unlikely feature film, as well as profiles of each of the Frantic Four. Elsewhere, we discover the astonishing range of Quo memorabilia that’s emerged over the years – kept hold of that crisp packet from 1975? You’re in luck! – and go through the keyhole to check out the collections of some dedicated Quo fans. And then there are classic features from the Record Collector archive, we hear the story of how that classic logo came about, and are told the tale of what happened when an RC writer was put on the somewhat sozzled train for the band’s 25th birthday trip to Butlin’s!
  3. Jimmy Dewar of Robin Trower fame had one as a spare... never saw pic of him playing it.
  4. NOW SOLD. Jorma Kaukonen - Been So Long 354-page hardback biography from the Airplane/Hot Tuna guitarist. Plenty of Jack Casady content - he also contributes the afterword! Book includes bound-in, exclusive never played CD. Very good condition, including dust jacket. Final price drop £10 Postage inclusive
  5. My listening tonight https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p08rs7y8
  6. Got it from the venue. I saw BX with Collins, at the Marquee, Years ago. But Percy is the only reason I would want to see then again.
  7. Yeah, but when I bought my ticket Percy was in the band. Can I get a refund?😷
  8. I bought my ticket on the basis (pun intended) of Percy. Without any originals - Goodsall staying in the US - I feel a bit put out.
  9. You could call yourself Dr Don’tfeeltoogood😉
  10. Dammit! I had a ticket.... Not that it means much😬
  11. I thought my last bottle of Tesco Taste The Difference white tasted...different 😧
  12. Mojo and Classic Rock seem so predictable, rehashing the same old staples. I do feel Record Collector try harder, largely cos they have a stuffy/nerdy image to counteract. Disclosure: I do half a dozen reviews a year for them.
  13. John helped me out with a speaker problem. Put himself out when he had no need to. Thanks, mate!
  14. Audley was with the excellent Cry of Love IIRC
  15. Thanks Pete, will investigate. A year since I saw you at Salisbury... time flies! Hope all is well.
  16. Doesn’t sound miles away from the Pretenders origInal. Credit to the late Pete Farndon...
  17. Le Chat Bleu? Ze plot thickens... 🐈
  18. I love Warren Zevon, but am massively bored with Werewolves. As far as radio goes, it’s the only track people like Johnnie Walker (his producers, more like) think he ever did. I remember buying a Sony Walkman in New York in 1981, picking up a tape of Excitable Boy in a secondhand record shop and walking the streets in a daze. Amazed I wasn’t mugged, run over or both. He really got into my head. A fan from then on, but took a while to recover from a mauling given me in person when I interviewed him for Classic Rock magazine. I quickly found out you have to be seriously warped and wounded to write stinky poo like that... A-hoooooo!
  19. The latest 10 issues of BGM, all in complete and unmolested form. £10 including UK postage. Cover stars include Flea, Roger Glover, Fieldy, Steve Harris, Victor Wooten, Sheehan, Dirnt, etc...
