The inner sleeve is water damaged, presumably because I bought it from someone who lived on a narrowboat, but otherwise great condition. Beautiful record, sounds awesome. Reckon it’s worth £100-£120. Wouldn’t sell it!

I picked up this copy of Led Zeppelin III a few years ago for £8. First press with the pinwheel sleeve, patent number for the wheel stamped on the inner, plum/red label, and etched into the dead wax it says ‘Do What Thy Wilt’ on one side and ‘So More It Be’ on the other.

The latest episode of The Inner Sleeve Podcast came out today, it’s all about Music in Film and TV and I have to say I tbh knits a great episode! Seems like lots of other people do too based on the listener numbers… check it out.

Half the battle finding new music is finding musicians who use social media to talk like a human being instead of uploading 412 Canva graphics with “New Single Out Now” every week.

The people selling you a ‘winning formula’ lie. Don’t do it!

Your music is awesome, talk about it like you mean it.

When I was younger I ran my SM58 through a Boss BF-2 Flanger pedal and a 10W guitar amp to try and sound like Robert Plant in No Quarter. Once you get the settings right it kind of works.

What's the best / most random gear mash up you've tried? Any success stories?

Let AI write songs. Let’s see it panic mid-set when the amp dies and it has to busk the second verse. Let’s see it mess up and make magic. Let's see it accidentally stumble across something awesome while trying to write something else. What's the prompt for that? That’s music. It's human.

I need to listen to these again and possibly rethink my life chances!

Nice, I have one of those and the other nearly made it…

Clearly everyone’s list will be very different, and 100 is nowhere near enough. So I thought about this as if aliens came down to earth for the first time and had never heard music - what is an absolute MUST listen?

It’s Friday! I’ve spent most of my free time this week writing a list of 100 essential albums that everyone should hear before they die.

It turns out I only own 76 of them currently so I’ve also been shopping…

I’ve definitely owned them all at some point but things get lost.

In the wake of the very sad news that Ozzy Osbourne left us to join the great gig in the sky this week, we recorded a quick episode of The Inner Sleeve Podcast that talks about grief.
