Took a bit of getting used to when I first heard it. Mind you, To Be Over is one of the loveliest things they ever did.

The Nice with a right old mix: light pop choons and a classical adaptation on side one, then the thematic title track taking up side two in old money.

Time for a bit of this…

One of the lesser played albums from their canon.

Unexpected find in the local BHF shop today. 1982 reissue LP.

I always feel after this the Yes of old came to an end. Slowly began to turn into that slightly odd thing that it is today. Obviously Chris and Alan are no longer with us and Jon and Rick eventually departed, others came and went…

Stills always my favourite of that crowd.

Didn’t think much of this at the time probably because Steve Howe wasn’t on board. It’s not so bad though. Bit cringe during some spoken word bits, never a fan of that in a Rock setting. But overall better with the passing of time.

Always had a soft spot for ‘ELP In Concert’ (1979) even though it was a right dog’s dinner! The expanded version Works Live has been around for over 30 years now, this is the latest edition from the Out of This World boxset. You’d think by now they’d get a decent running order! But no, 1/

Very, very late to the party but Slow Horses is terrific isn’t it. And Gary Oldman is superb.

Didn’t realise that Vocalist Colin Carter passed away in January of this year, aged 76.

Gratuitous ‘70s nudity there from Flash. Different times etc I suppose.. In The Can. 1972. A good album though. Shame they didn’t last longer.

I spend hours'n'hours prepping/creating these every week, so you can listen to some top notch new music (ok, plus some wittering from me). Been doing it now for over 10 yrs. So, you know, might be nice if you gave it a listen? Not saying my struggles are worthy of your attention but, yes, they are!

Not officially post Genesis at this point, one of Phil’s more upbeat offerings!!

Seems a very long time ago now.

Released today in 1978

open.spotify.com/album/7hheJV... Didn’t realise til this week that one of my favourite bands from the 80s, The Adventures, had released a new album back in March. A Jolly good thing too. Their Sea of Love album from ‘88 one of my all time favourites. All killer, no filler. Good to see them back.

Please share this message. Thank you! 🤗

You know you love it really…

New book started.

“My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by…”

A few crackles here and there but not sounding too bad at all after nearly half a century!

One of my favourite films.

Oh my bloody good god!

Finally reached the end of this epic. A thoroughly interesting read.

If any of you folks are within easy reach of Belfast, "Count Magnus" and "Number 13" by M R James are on at the Lyric next week, 11 - 16 November. lyrictheatre.co.uk/whats-on/cou...

Quote with your favourite film and album from the year you were born.

I’ve loved the first two Humble Pie albums for 30 years now. First listen to the new 2025 editions and they sound great. I’m not sure they were ever this good again, especially after Frampton left. They just exude 1969!
