  1. I don’t deny what you’re saying, Blue, but I object to being described as old😂
  2. Just pop sold in the title by editing and it will automatically close thread!🙏
  3. A spare is permissable! As I mentioned, he actually played all three. Now I can tell the difference between Gibson and Fender but wasn’t sure why the Spector. I have played that venue with an Elf and 1x10: this gentleman had an Ashdown head and 8x10. My ears are still ringing…
  4. Saw a fairly standard blues trio last night playing in an arts centre. The bassist started with a Gibson EB0, went on to a Stingray and swopped back, playing a Spector for one song. That was only in the first half, we left as the volume- especially from him - was crazy loud. How many basses do you take on stage?
  5. Alexa, who is the fairest of them all?😁
  6. Well before, before even Gang of Four. She’d just arrived in London… wouldn’t say boo to a goose. We were looking for a Chrissie Hynde!😳
  7. My dinner party story is auditioning Eddi Reader when she was an unknown and rejecting her because (a) she was so shy and (b) had an obnoxious boyfriend/manager. Just think how much better she’d have done with me… 😂
  8. A small point, but his name was Osborn. Just in case someone is using a search engine to find one… Lovely bass!
  9. On behalf of @King Tut - an excellent show by the Verity Bromham Band in Wimborne. Classic rock with a side order of humour, good fun and recommended!
  10. GLWTS. I wouldn’t part with mine for any money❤️

Now includes postage STRANGER IN TOWN - A DEL SHANNON COMPENDIUM This 302-track 12 CD set is a compendium of the entirety of Del Shannon’s career, from his hits in the early 60s, via his mid-60s recordings with Andrew Loog Oldham, to his 70s and 80s recordings with Tom Petty and Mike Campbell, as well as Jeff Lynne and Dave Edmunds. It also includes all of his mid-80s “Nashville Sessions” recordings, most of which are issued for the first time, plus b-sides, demos and a further eight previously unreleased tracks. The 28 page booklet features photos and ephemera, plus extensive annotation by Alan Robinson. This set contains all of Del’s UK hits, eight of which reached the Top Ten, including the #1 hit “Runaway”, “Hey! Little Girl” and “The Swiss Maid” (both #2 hits), and “Keep Searchin' (We'll Follow the Sun)”, which reached #3. Also included are Del’s recordings of two Lennon/McCartney songs (“From Me To You” and “A World Without Love”). Del was the first US act to record a Beatles cover version, and later covered the Rolling Stones’ “Under My Thumb”. Also included is his song “Sister Isabelle”, later covered by Frank Black & Teenage Fanclub for a John Peel session. Del Shannon was, without doubt, one of the most gifted and distinctive of musical talents to emerge in the immediate pre-‘British Invasion’ era of American Pop. His was a talent that travelled well – indeed, his UK and European fanbase proved far more loyal and his success in those territories of greater longevity than in his native USA. Moreover, he was also much admired by successive generations of musicians, including the likes of George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young.
  15. DUFFY POWER Live At The BBC Plus Other Innovations (3CD set) Features John McLaughlin, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker etc The great unsung British Blues hero recorded live at the BBC together with previously unreleased studio tracks The most comprehensive collection of Duffy Power’s BBC recordings available with sound restoration by Eroc Showcases Duffy in a variety styles and line-ups with backing by the Graham Bond Quartet, the Fentones and CWT Disc Three comprises unreleased studio recordings from the 90s/00s which cement his reputation as a Bluesman Liner notes by Duffy collaborator/producer Pete Brown also include detailed annotation by compiler and archivist Colin Harper Duffy Power (1941-2014) was among Britain’s first wave of late 50s rock’n’rollers, a protégé of impresario Larry Parnes alongside Billy Fury, Marty Wilde and Georgie Fame. In 1963 a musical epiphany saw him become one of Britain’s greatest bluesmen – a singer, songwriter and harmonica virtuoso whose career thereafter would be a rollercoaster of amazing recordings, off/on record deals, and periods of withdrawal before bowing out of music-making in 1973. In the mid-60s, Duffy recorded with future members of Cream, Pentangle and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. He never had any problem impressing fellow musicians, but a wider appreciation of his work would only come in the era of CD reissues and anthologies. This 3CD Live At The BBC set adds to the legend of Duffy Power. Beginning with a 1963 session backed by the Graham Bond Quartet (Bond, John McLaughlin, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker), it more than doubles the content on Power’s only previous BBC set, Sky Blues (2001), adding performances from the 60s and 70s – including a 1971 Mike Raven session backed by Rod Argent – and ending with his last-known BBC session, a full-band set in 1997 for Paul Jones. In between, we have blues, jazz, soul and stadium rock, in the form of a 1973 session for John Peel with hard rock trio CWT. The third disc adds 11 non-BBC tracks (nine previously unreleased, two rare) from two periods of potential comeback sessions in 1995 and 2000-01, including four original songs not previously published. Songwriting legend Pete Brown, who produced the 1995 session, provides the booklet essay, with additional notes from Colin Harper. RRP £24 Selling at £10 plus post (appx £2)
  16. Couple of nice basses in shot! Do tell the name of your band…
