DavidI’m not a proud man. How could I resist this 2016, 40th Anniversary Legacy vinyl picture disc for just $22! I’ve never really bought into the whole picture disc thing but in this case it convinced me enough to buy this record.

DavidThis record is like your very own private audience with Bill Callaghan. The songs are intimate and slightly discomforting, but it’s always very, very engaging.

DavidIs this the perfect pop record? A faultless masterpiece from Swindon’s finest. Aside from the Beatles, I cannot think of another consistently brilliant band.

DavidI recently spotted a reference to Group 1850 in a recent “Shindig!” magazine. [By the way Shindig! is now on Readly , an incredibly cheap and efficient way of getting access to ALL of your favourite magazines digitally.

DavidA big hefty chunk of vinyl playing at 45rpm, a “hidden” track on side one you play backwards, a pop-up cardboard engineer in the recording studio inside the lavish gatefold cover, and lots of a complete off-kilter, genre-bending tunes/experiments throughout!

DavidAn extraordinary and incendiary relic of the punk/post punk era. Musically and politically, this is such a grab bag of the best bits of the last five years of 70’s England.

DavidOn Tuesday 3rd March 2020, my latest musical obsession, Stereolab are playing at the San Franscisco Bath House in Wellington. As I may have alluded to previously, I’ve been gathering Stereolab’s entire back catalogue on magnificent triple, clear-vinyl reissues.

DavidI had a few turntable issues this evening which nearly derailed my listening pleasure. I eventually tracked it down to being an interconnect cable issue.
