  1. Bought a tshirt from me in a seamless (ha ha) transaction. Sean is a recommended Basschatter.
  2. Good quality Gildan soft cotton T-shirt, black, XL, unworn. The ideal Xmas present to yourself. £12 posted UK.
  3. Funnily enough I edited that bit as it was 1979, and I thought maybe not so relevant…
  4. 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!
  5. 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.
  6. Too much talent in one band, I guess…
  7. Staggered that hasn’t been cancelled, tbh!
  8. I saw the original line-up - awesome. Still catch the GG version, Rick Fenn is highly underrated on guitar.
  9. Are you available to hire? Ross Kemp unavailable on Fridays…😉
  10. Five CD/1 Blu-Ray set commemorating the best live rock album of all time. Gonna argue? Plus book, poster, replica tour magazine. This copy still sealed and unplayed. Yours for £45 (RRP £70-75). Review from Bluestown Music This 50th anniversary reissue is not just another expensive deluxe box; it is a MUST have album for every rock fan as Deep Purple plays immaculate live versions of fantastic studio material. Highway Star, Child In Time, Lazy and Space Truckin’ are 100% musical live hard rock/metal weapons that hit you like a hammer and kick you in the teeth for sure. Steven Wilson did an impressive job with the remix and all the seven songs (Highway Star, Child In Time, Smoke On The Water, The Mule, Strange Kind Of Woman, Lazy and Space Truckin’) sound powerful, crispy, and immaculate!! This is more than just a collector’s item; it is a must have album for every rock fan and needless to say that you have to play it LOUD. The Super Deluxe edition is a five CD set (plus Blu-ray). CD 1 has a Steven Wilson Dolby ATMOS remix of the original 77-minute album, CDs 2 to 4 have the three seven song sets in performance order and on CD 5 there are all six encore performances for the first time; Black Night at all three shows, two versions of Speed King and one of Lucille, plus three single-only edits for completists!
  11. Used to worship him. Nearly brought a flying suit. Settled for a Telecaster shaped bass. Now he’s GordonKnob: any relation? Only joking, enjoy!👍
  12. We have just had two rehearsals where things have not gone according to plan. Poor preparation. Do you have a pre-agreed agenda when you go in? How much time do you dedicate to new material? How many times do you run through problem numbers? How do you ensure the message gets across? Do you send out summaries of work done so it sticks? How do you make it work for you? Hints and tips please!
  13. He’s Pete the poster!
  14. As it happens, exactly this happened to me the last time I saw you in ELO Experience!
  15. They can fork off! 🎃
  16. SHOCK! HORROR! Alice Cooper bassist and songwriter writes rather good book! Yours posted UK for £12.
  17. Hopefully all those who hate the ticketing scams and booking fees will transfer to watching local bands. That said, we are doing a charity gig for free and Eventbrite keep £1.70 of the £7 ticket price… 🤔 I know they have to make a living, but…
  18. Surely it should have been ‘Gillan’ and ‘Blackmore’ fighting? Of course, the irony is in the Friends bit!
  19. I miss Top of the Pops. Really.
  20. 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.
  21. That is a very insightful view Pete! Thank you for posting it… food for thought indeed. M
  22. Pete It would have been great to have had you there! And Andy Bodnar, who apparently has health issues. Steve Goulding held it all together as great drummers do! The official backstage pic below. I am still buzzing…
