kab2112 SUBS 22nd Mar 2023 | | Music MemorabiliaThe Bootleg Beatles - Single Sheet Flier | ReviewWe went to last night’s show at Venue Cymru in Llandudno. From where we sat (row T) they looked like, moved like and sounded very much like the real thing. They made several costume changes as they moved through the various stages of Beatles 1960's dress (including wigs, moustaches and John's round glasses) . Excellent show. They had a keyboard player for some songs, a string section and a brass section for some of the later 1960’s songs. (Penny Lane - Strawberry Fields etc. ) They had the audience on their feet singing along and dancing. A great show from a very good tribute band.
Typically, each gig consists of performances of songs from four eras. For the 2023 Tour, these are:-
Part One: Cavern Club (1962-1963):
Part Two: Beatlemania and the touring years (1964–1966):
(Interval)
Part Three: Magical Mystery Tour (1967):
Part Four: The Get Back sessions and rooftop concert (1969):

kab2112 SUBS 18th Mar 2023 | | CD AlbumYusuf / Cat Stevens - King Of A Land | I bought both Cat Stevens albums on release in 1967 and still have them. Both were very good pop albums with some very good songs that still sound good today. When his style changed in 1970, I thought his output was fabulous and the first album of his new genre “ Mona Bone Jakon” is still one of my favourites. He continued to make excellent albums up until side one of the “Foreigner” album. By then his disillusionment with the pop business had become obvious and the quality of his output took a nose dive from then on, in my opinion.
I’ve listened to a couple of his “Yusuf” albums and honestly think that he should have stayed retired. Not a patch on his early 1970’s output. I’m not expecting this to be any better.

kab2112 SUBS 5th Mar 2023 | | BookJeremy Clarkson - Diddly Squat | Bought this for my wife at a knockdown price from "The Works" on Saturday. She's generally not a Jeremy Clarkson fan but loved his Amazon series about Didddly Squat. Can't wait for the next series. She also likes him on "Millionaire"
I like him on Top Gear and other motoring programmes although he's not everyone's cup of tea.

kab2112 SUBS 15th Feb 2023 | | CD AlbumMolly Hatchet - Battleground | ReviewBeing a fan of the Southern Rock genre, I managed to see Molly Hatchet on three separate UK tours. Two shows were plagued by poor sound quality but the other was superb.
Although the line up for this doulbe disc package has no original members, it doesn't fail to meet their usual high standards.
Good setlist and the new singer slots right in. Won't disappoint the fans.

kab2112 SUBS 20th Jan 2023 | | Music MemorabiliaVarious Artists - Concert Tour Programme Wembley Stadium | RIP Dave Crosby. He was excellent at harmonising with other singers, especially Graham Nash. They were great buddies for years, but sadly had a big falling out.
He was excellent here with CSNY.

kab2112 SUBS 16th Jan 2023 | | CD AlbumFree - Santa Monica Civic Center | ReviewBought this yesterday from HMV Chester. I already had this concert on a bootleg tape - then burned onto a CD. Typical bootleg quality which was good for the time [1971] ..
Great setlist.
Gave this a spin this morning and found the quality not that much improved from the tape I bought at a record fair in the late 1970's.
However Free were in fine form and you could picture Paul Rodgers strutting his stuff on stage in front of the other band members.
Strictly for Free fans I would suggest.

kab2112 SUBS 4th Dec 2022 | | CD AlbumThe Beatles - The Radio Vaults | Some may want to classify this as a "Bootleg". This was bought from a High Street record shop and I spoke to the proprieter about it and was told that it may be "Unofficial" but he got it through his usual channels.

kab2112 SUBS 1st Dec 2022 | | BookVarious Contributors - Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide 2024 | Had a good clearout recently and decided to part company with six previous issues of this excellent reference book. I took them all to a charity shop where a friend of mine helps out. She later told me that within a few minutes of them being put on the shelf, they were all bought by the same guy @ 50p each [paperbacks 50p - hardbacks £1 unless marked otherwise]. He got the 6 for £3 - a bargain.
