They both witnessed some remarkable events that's for sure
At a tangent I noticed in your biog you're reading Pepys daily, I'd currently doing the same with Evelyn (might swap over at the end of the year)
Morning Andy, have a good week
Sharp As A Needle was always a favourite (and felt almost tailor made for Peel)
Mary Chain are very likely for my top 5. Surprised I haven't seen the HMHB album mentioned more.
More like The Mean Geese by the look of it
Front cover of the one and only Shop Assistants album - four strips of low qual photos of each of the band members arranged in a grid
6Music playing the peerless Shangri-La's Train From Kansas City which leads me to this rec for #5DebutAlbums8589 which has a brilliant cover version of it.
The self-titled debut by Shop Assistants
Diamond Geezers Are Forever
"in our arts we find our bliss/I have mine, and he has his"
His own songs are incredible but his cover versions are some of the greatest (At Last I Am Free)
Fantastic choice (and the RW version is better than the EC version, even though that's also brilliant)
Anna Mognani surely
Oh it's got much more mixed up since 😀
£60 each if you have them separately
A key record for the early teen me, a shift from ELO to something that felt much more dangerous
It's almost surprisingly good considering how much churn they had in their line up immediately before (Denny and Hutchings both leaving) and following up the classic L&L
And a long one but powerful one for my Token 2
Sloth by Fairport Convention
A strong theme this week Cat and Kitty.
My Token 1 is for the Isley Brothers and Harvest for the World
Ticket booked, looks brilliant
That was one of the first records I ever bought with my own money. Probably from Woolworths
Happy 100th birthday to Norfolk Wildlife Trust. I'll be popping down to the Book Hive to pick up a copy of the book this weekend and visiting this wonderful place
Ian McCulloch of Echo and the Bunnymen in a gloomy green light
Mac wasn't exactly illuminated even if you were nearer
Not around much in March so just in case I miss one I'm going to bank these now ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A discarded Christmas tree on a London street
Saw this yesterday. 27 February.
Great set though I'm now humming Pere Ubu, Betty Boo to the tune of Beloved's Hello
Record shop expands after defying predictions it 'wouldn't last six months'
Thank you
Hey man, at Woodstock everyone is your friend
And For What It's Worth, here's Buffalo Springfield for my Token 2
Hi Still Honest and Kitty. You're not the only one who can do a late change of mind. Was going to go The Who for my Token 1 but instead, here's Bowie with I Can't Explain
