Probably my favourite band on steps photo. And my favourite photo of Big Star.
When My Baby's Beside Me now on the LSwMBRS.
I don't need to worry, no. There's no point, is there?

Its The Cords. From two years ago, playing at the brilliant Mono in Glasgow. You can buy a live recording of that show via Bandcamp. But not until you've bought their first LP, which came out last September.
Rather Not Stay, now on the MBRS

Life's an illusion, love is the dream.
But I know it's Okay, Okay!!
Soared to number 29 this week 47 years ago.
Its highest position in the chart.
Until its position as number one record in this week's MB Record Show, of course.

Rachel Love has a beautiful voice 😖👌👏👏👏
Here’s the “proper” Railcard I got from the band. Not bad for a merch item to give travel free across the U.K. rail network! Other bands should do the same!
For the first time ever, here’s tonight’s matching Railcard wallet!
Nobel Prize for CD cover design goes to .......
Contains a Penrose Web, a Dolly Mixture, a Heavenly and a trumpeter called Alison.
It also contains a brilliant work called Revolutionary Calendar.
This comes out next month. But it's already throwing out brilliance via the MBRS.
It has Teenage Superstar from Eugene and Frances Vaseline.
Yes, it's that good.

Into The Charts, this week in 1979.
Only Richard Jobson could get away with the boots, I suppose.
Now on the Late Show/MBRS.

Not many bands have been so good, for so long.
Saw The Monochrome Set in 1979 and bought some badges….
Another addition to your Monochrome Set shelf.
The title song, with Bid in full flow, now on the MBRS. See if you can learn all the words by Monday.

I still have my copy of the best compilation LP ever made.
Bought it off a friend for £8, summer of 1979.
It would not qualify as 'good condition'
The sellotape has withered.
But it has (Just Like) Romeo And Juliet by Michael & The Messengers.
Now on the MBRS

Listening in live from Ottawa Canada 👌
This is out next Friday.
Neither Billy nor Julie nor Wolf have decided on a radical new direction, you'll be happy to learn. Point the microphones at the band, and press 'play' and 'record' at the same time.
House On Fire - with Julie singing - now on the MBRS.

From the newly released Paisley Underground box set , This Can't Be Today.
You couldn't have a collection documenting eighties guitar bands in America without the Athenians....

Special Friend have an LP out. Next Friday. Clipping, it's called.
It has the wonderful 'Breakfast' on it.
They've gone big budget on the video for it too. Erica walking round with her phone.
Sounding swell on the Late Show/MBRS

You never realised you needed a Don't Stand Me Down tee shirt until a crowd in Belfast decided to make one.
While you look, have a listen to One Of Those Things.
Dexys Midnight Runners at their best

I know that I played Dr Feelgood on the show last week but they're one of the bands that can do things like that.
Their version of Lieber And Stoller's 'Riot In Cell Block #9 , from the Stupidity LP, is now on the MBRS. With a Tommy Gun, courtesy of The Big Figure.

Yes so many bands on there that I like, will have to see if I can find a copy
Uno de los pocos sellos de los que te puedes fiar casi al 100% por la calidad de sus grupos es Slumberland Rds. Este año en el @madridpopfest.bsky.social les representará Humdrum, magnífico grupo de pop de guitarras clásico.

Mañanaaaaa 😊 @madridpopfest.bsky.social
That looks like an excellent comp
Sugarfrost!
I don't have that single, but I do have this fabulous compilation of Japanese and English bands, which features two different Pure tracks from the 7"...
Thanks Gary for including The Penelopes on your show 👍 😀
