For me, American Beauty, Workingman's Dead, and Europe '72.

You're welcome to swing by me (near Whitley Bay) and see what this can do.

Yeah, it was.

So why bring up snowflakes?

Thanks for clearing that up - we seem to agree that times have moved on, and it's nowt to do with 'snowflakes'.

You're either being wry, or you think that would be acceptable behaviour. Curious to know which...?

You could at least post the proper version...

Bloody hell. They’ve come on a bit since I last used one!

Is that someone browsing Amazon around the corner?

…but we do get I Can’t Dance, so it’s not all bad news 😕

I like to think I'm aware of pretty much every oddity that Fender has put out. But no, those crazy Japanese are still hiding the odd surprise up their sleeve.... Here's the Hojin Egawa signature Jazz, produced by Fender Japan in the mid-to-late 90s. Yep, it's a new one on me too. And no, I don't own it.

First gig since December 2019 for The Caffreys, the originals band wot I'm in. A lovely ticket do at one of our favourite venues, an intimate little place in Tynemouth. It's always a bit of a squish. We did a handful of brand new tunes, including this one. My new-ish black '71 P is continuing to warm the cockles of my heart.

Ha ha.. if only they were all mine….

Not strictly PJ of course, but this is the route I went down. That humbucker is perfectly balanced with the P - it absolutely pokes… and it’s all-passive.

Poor Kurt. If only he'd been more entertaining and technically competent... he might have left some sort of legacy behind.

The setlist is as lazy as hell - disappointed about that. But, I’ll still enjoy it in when it comes to Newcastle.

...and Nic Collins is an absolute BEAST.

^^^^ Which is the most ridiculous thing. Not sure who's crackpot idea that was.

Tonight, tonight, tonight….

Which it wasn’t far off, IMO. Not through any fault of his, mind. That period is covered in-depth, and Ray W. doesn’t pull any punches. It’s quite revealing. The author also acknowledges the inaccuracy of the title. Besides, ‘1975-2021: The Phil Collins and Ray Wilson years’ would have done PC a bit of an injustice, I think.

Have you read the book?

😄

As an aside, I can recommend these books to any proper Genesis anoraks out there. Pretty in-depth and honest stuff from the band members.

Canny band that he's in, too.
