albert 29th May 2015 | | Live MusicLove With Arthur Lee @ Royal Festival Hall | very disappointing DVD, its one of those where it fades to black and no sound between each song. How is it that idiots get these jobs?

|
albert 22nd May 2015 | | Live MusicStereophonics @ The Camden Falcon | The Stereophonics seemed to be quite disgruntled, maybe cos it was such a small venue (and I'm not sure if the gents had been demolished by then to double the standing room).

|
albert 19th May 2015 | | Live MusicColdplay @ The Camden Falcon | Ultra Montanes were the headliners, Coldplay were first on I think. Didn't they bring their ironing board?
|
albert 19th May 2015 | | Live MusicMan Or Astro-Man? @ The Garage | Man or Astro-man?'s stage crew had to wear de-contamination suits when setting up their gear lest they catch some cosmic radiation. Or something.

|
albert 19th May 2015 | | Live MusicStereolab @ Queen Elizabeth Hall | I think this may have been a radio broadcast.
|

albert 4th Jun 2014 | | MagazineStrangled | Volume 1 No 1 is just 6 sheets of paper and probably took them all of a couple of hours to knock it out, hardly worth bothering with. Spelling and layout mistakes all over the place.
|
albert 12th May 2014 | | MagazineRecord Collector and The Beatles Book | I sold a copy on ebay a few months back, it went for just over £4. Very poor response for the issues that actually sold, all start prices of 0.99, the ones with Beatles Books were the only ones getting bids, nothing reached £5.
|
albert 5th Jun 2014 | | CD AlbumBob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde | The red channel always suffers with jpegs, its something thats technically flawed in the design and its unlikely you'll get better results on rescanning.
|
albert 24th Aug 2013 | | 12" SingleBauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead | It was widely available on catalogue for years, then it disappeared for a short while, when it reappeared it was in a multitude of coloured vinyls.
