albert 2nd Jan 2019		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Timeless II . . . A Continuation	fun quotes from their ad placed in Record Collector 44, page 12: "this colourful and elegant picture disc...will blow your mind..." "...never before has there been a more spaced-out and far-out Beatles album..." "...we are certain that this Beatles picture disc album will become the most important record that you will ever own"
albert 1st Jan 2019		Vinyl Album Jimi Hendrix - Midnight Lightning	More scraping of the barrel here. These are tracks which Alan Douglas mostly patched up with 'newly recorded instrumental parts by session musicians', allegedly, even Mitch Mitchell's song has his drum parts replaced by a session drummer.
albert 1st Jan 2019		Vinyl Album Jimi Hendrix - Crash Landing	Scraping the barrel here. These are unfinished tracks which Alan Douglas mostly patched up with 'newly recorded instrumental parts by session musicians' - the original rhythm tracks being wiped in the process, allegedly.
albert 31st Dec 2018		TV Top Of The Pops (1964 - 2006)	The Beatles one and only proper appearance on TOTPs was transmitted 16th June 1966 according to Record Collector 250, page 135. They also report that a copy of the whole show exists outside of the BBC archive but found its way into collectors circles, rapidly changing hands so its whereabouts is not known. The Beatles did Rain & Paperback Writer.
albert 19th Dec 2018		Music Memorabilia Uranium Club - Atlas With Chicken Globe	The band are also known as The Minneapolis Uranium Club Band. This T-shirt was bought at their London, Boston Arms gig 27 Nov 2018, where they were also selling a tour poster depicting a large cut-out pencil.
albert 3rd Dec 2018		Music Memorabilia Spiritualized - Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space	Bought at their Royal Albert Hall gig 10 October 1997.
albert 3rd Dec 2018		Music Memorabilia Baby Silvertooth - Baby Silvertooth	Originally a dark green T-shirt with silver lettering on the back and a silver tooth on the front decal. My idiot flatmate managed to destroy the colours and silver highlights when he boil-washed his scrappy IKEA rug, forgetting to empty the washing machine of my clothes before his wash.
albert 25th Nov 2018		Live Music Uranium Club @ The Bees Mouth	OK, new info. It seems that they are playing at The Western, Brighton, on this date. Unfortunately I cannot get on their official website as it has crashed, or something, and I cannot find the facebook page that I got the details from last week. If you want to go you will definitely need to confirm where exactly it is that the band are playing.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia The Grates - Pine Tree & Squirrel	Bought at the band's London Buffalo Bar gig 14 February 2006. I think the band brought the t-shirts with them, they had a few cutesy designs, all in small/skinny-fit sizes, I knew that the t-shirt would not fit me but the merchandise sellers insisted that it would. The t-shirt was made in China of very cheap quality and as usual the Chinese idea of 'large' is very different to the Western World's idea of large. The t-shirt did not fit.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia The Rezillos - Flying Saucer Attack (2010s)	Bought at one of their London Underworld gigs a few years back. You can get this T-shirt as well as lots of other fab and groovy items from the links on The Rezillos official website here.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia The Rezillos - Top Of The Pops (2010s)	Bought at one of their London Underworld gigs a few years back. You can get this T-shirt as well as lots of other fab and groovy items from the links on The Rezillos official website here.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia Tindersticks - Dancer, First LP	Bought mail order for £9, white only, size XL only. I had seen the band a few times in their early days including a very cramped gig at The Camden Falcon.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia Sleater-Kinney - Dig Me Out Tour	Bought, I think, at their London Garage gig 1 Nov 1997, I have seen Sleater-Kinney a few times.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia Man Or Astro-man? - Nasa Homage	I think that I bought this t-shirt at their London Garage gig 01 July 1999, I have seen them at least twice.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia The Only Ones - Barbed Wire Rose	Silver text and red rose. Printing on the front and back. The design is taken from an original vintage badge circa 1970s. You can get this t-shirt, the original vintage badge and a whole lot more goodies direct from Alan Mair at the official Only Ones website.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia The Only Ones - Lovers Of Today Poster Design	This is the poster design for the Lovers Of Today single. You may recognise the ladies legs which mysteriously became part of the original 7" picture sleeve, but that was because the original design for the 12" single had the ladies holding the photo of the band, until that 12" sleeve got scrapped. you can get this t-shirt, the original poster and a whole lot more goodies direct from Alan Mair at the official Only Ones website.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia The Soundtrack Of Our Lives - Gimme Five!	Printed on the front and back, the bigger image is on the back. Bought at The Soundtrack Of Our Lives London Borderline gig 02 October 2001.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia The Pattern - Bird Of Prey	I think I bought this at the band's London Garage gig 4 September 2001, I did see the band twice. The Pattern were an American band, I think they had their own label (Lookout records), ? but I could be wrong ?, they did sign to a UK label for record distribution around this time. It is a UK tour T-shirt, made in Ireland.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia Gang Of Four - Archive Design, Beheadings	Bought at Gang of Four's comeback gig 28 January 2005 Shepherds Bush Empire. The merchandise stall had a wide range of t-shirts in different colours and designs, the designs were lifted from the band's archive.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia Pink Floyd - See Emily Play (2010)	I bought this online, there is a licencing note beside the design, so it is official.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia Groop Dogdrill - Dog In Frame	I bought this at their Monarch/Barfly gig 14 August 2001, a comeback showcase gig, though probably one of their last. They brought a trunk of old merchandise with them so I do not know when this T-shirt was actually produced.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia Killing Joke - New York 1980/81 NYD (Reprint)	I bought this online, shop redirected from Killing Joke's website, so it is official. This is a reprint of Killing Joke's T-shirt that was sold at their early New York gigs over New Years Day 1980-1981. Though it is a great design the original T-shirts had the image much larger - pretty much covering the whole of the front of the shirt.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia The Dead Kennedys - Holiday In Cambodia (Holiday Inn)	I bought this online, there is a licencing note below the design, so it is official. Even though this is an official item the quality control in manufacturing has been sloppy - some dimwit has slightly rotated the image to try to put the "Cambodia" text on less of an angle, and also positioned the star towards the centre at the top, generally throwing the whole design off to one side.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia The Dandy Warhols - T-Shirt / Baseball Shirt	I think I bought this at their Dingwalls gig 27 April 2000. It is an American baseball shirt, they did not have many and it was quite pricy too. Apologies for the skewed pictures.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia The Dandy Warhols - T-Shirt	Probably bought this at their Astoria gig 15 June 2000.
albert 18th Nov 2018		Music Memorabilia Broadcast - T-Shirt	Probably bought this at their Dingwalls gig 29 March 2000. The colour is blue/grey, other colours were available as far as I remember.
albert 16th Nov 2018		Live Music Uranium Club @ The Bees Mouth	Details from Uranium Club's Facebook page, (maybe I shouldn't be telling you this).
albert 16th Nov 2018		Live Music Uranium Club @ Boston Arms	Good luck finding a ticket, I got mine weeks ago. [YouTube Video] this one takes a while to build up [YouTube Video]
albert 13th Nov 2018		Vinyl Album Informatics - Dance To A Dangerous Beat	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] wacko visuals from film 'The Visitor'
albert 15th Oct 2018		Vinyl Album Kraftwerk - Autobahn	Vertigo did some great work replacing the designs of Kraftwerk's covers, compare them to the German originals. Early pressings of the LP have a slightly embossed cover, by the way. When I had access to a fabric printer, Autobahn was one image I made into a cushion cover, other classic sleeves included Trout Mask Replica, Never Mind the Bollocks, Piper at the Gates Of Dawn, and the first Raincoats LP.
