Thursday is, of course, the weekend.

The Beatles get their A Level results. Aug 1964.

#CDfriday Good old Geir Jenssen at the helm of the most important machines in this 1987 Bel Canto release "White Out Conditions"

Blank Sheets is a clear favourite track!

3CD set of blistering drum & bass, continuing the flightpath of the earlier albums in the series. Stellar.

I’ve got Budgie on my list too!

A paperback copy of “Record Play Pause” by Stephen Morris. The cover features a black & white photograph of the author seated behind a drum kit. The author’s name and book title are written in white and dark yellow fonts.

Super, thanks!
