OldMod67 19th Oct 2024		Book Various Authors - West Howe Proper	@carryonsidney: I've PM'd you so I don't turn the comments into my message service!
OldMod67 17th Oct 2024		Book Various Authors - West Howe Proper	Wow, that's flown by. The Wonderholme is still there... I'm hoping to locate the second volume at a decent price one day, but once out of print many local books get quite expensive.
OldMod67 15th Oct 2024		Book Various Authors - West Howe Proper	@carryonsidney: Yeah, I missed them originally. They came out five or six years before I joined the book trade and were privately published. I've been keeping an eye out for a few years as I do like my local books, but the print runs can't have been massive. They crop up occasionally online, but usually expensive, the last one I saw online was about £90! I finally stumbled on book one in a chazza, priced at 75p, I nearly fell over.
OldMod67 13th Oct 2024		Book Various Authors - West Howe Proper	The second book in the series, West Howe Too : A changing corner of Dorset, followed in December 1983
OldMod67 13th Oct 2024		Book Julia Skinner - Bournemouth	Francis Frith used to use to license out their local ranges. A version of this book was taken by Waterstones. Meanwhile, some Ottakar's branches carried ranges from the same source; the Poole branch having Francis Frith books and notebooks to match.

OldMod67 7th Sep 2024		Vinyl Album Anthony Meynell And Squire - September Gurls	@JohhnyCool: Yeah, like the Merton Parkas 12" that surfaced with singles tracks. I seem to remember they were described as mini albums, maybe due to the number of tracks... I'm glad this is coming out, but hoped there would be a mono of the expanded edition. I did look for the mono when the original came out, but saw nothing that it was cancelled. It wasn't until 2019 when Anthony showed me the cover if the upcoming expanded edition that I mentioned not finding a mono; he said then that it didn't make it to release. He did say how good it sounded though, so can't wait to here it properly. I did suggest a mono EP too, bearing in mind the mixes he's sitting on, which would be a nice edition to the Squire catalogue.
OldMod67 7th Sep 2024		Vinyl Album Anthony Meynell And Squire - September Gurls	Anthony Meynell has announced that the Mono version is due out later this month (27th) 40 years after it was announced, but better late than never!
OldMod67 23rd Aug 2024		Book Various Authors - Music Master 1985	Unfortunately during a mass clear out (about 20+ years ago) I ditched all the monthly updates that followed this...
OldMod67 19th Aug 2024		CD Album Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out	The tracklistings above are broken into the Mono and Stereo as on the discs, which don't show the bonus tracks as separate albums. Time Out, Stereo (Columbia CS-8192) Time Further Out (Columbia CS-8490) Time Out, Mono (Columbia CL-1397) Countdown - Time In Outer Space (Columbia CS-8575)
OldMod67 12th Aug 2024		CD Album Bangles - Different Light	Hi, thanks to all for your info. The CD itself is identical to image 2265804. As to the 'innards', the reverse of the rear cover inlay has (01-026659-10) and yes, the grey tray has 'Patent pending 6.4' It does seem a bit of a mish-mash, but then I remember getting the All Over The Place LP in '84 (I wasn't buying CDs until about 1990) and it was a stamped demo, for UK use but manufactured in Holland. Thanks again to you all for your help.
OldMod67 11th Aug 2024		CD Album Bangles - Different Light	I've not entered my copy yet as I'm a bit puzzled as to origin. It is almost the same as above, but subtle differences: Although it states 'Made in Holland ' on the back cover, the disc states 'Made in Japan's on the outer ring note. No barcode and catalogue number is the same, but rear cover (top left) under the cat.no, the boxed CB 821 on my copy reads CB 801. If CB stands for CBS product, why the number change? Advice welcome.
OldMod67 1st Aug 2024		VHS Gimme Shelter [Music] - Melody Maker	Great indie compilation tape from the eighties, with a lot of non mainstream TV videos. The main music selling-points for me back then were Television Personalities, James Taylor Quartet, Mighty Lemon Drops, Shop Assistants, The Chills, 14 Iced Bears and Soup Dragons.
OldMod67 1st Aug 2024		VHS Gimme Shelter [Music] - Melody Maker	Has automatically linked itself to the film; I've requested amended title to differentiate. now done. Thanks
OldMod67 1st Aug 2024		12" Single The Chills - The Lost E.P.	Note: I've listed this here, but is already on the site as an album. Have requested mine to be deleted.
OldMod67 30th Jul 2024		CD Album The Chills - Kaleidoscope World	Title track: [YouTube Video]
OldMod67 18th Jul 2024		TV Hill Street Blues (1981 - 1987)	James B Sikking as the awesome Howard Hunter has passed away, aged 90. One of my favourites throughout the series.
OldMod67 5th Jul 2024		TV Stax: Soulsville U.S.A. (2024)	Rated 7/10 I was incredibly eager to see this series, which had been mentioned for a couple of years and it's well worth a watch. Previous features on Stax have never disappointed, despite having to cover a vast history in one-off efforts, literally a label of two halves, - the spinning discs and the post-Otis finger clickin' era. On-camera interviews with surviving artists and writers was very welcome, which included Stax insider and archivist Deanie Parker who's always a great listen. Great to see the makers managed to capture filmed interviews with those that have since passed, Jim Stewart of course but also the wonderful Bettye Crutcher who is often overlooked in the Stax story. Although not everything can be captured (even Rob Bowman's welcome nineties book had to limit itself), there were a few things that jarred by their omission. The Jim and Estelle label start-up, with financing and initial Satellite imprint, yes it's been covered elsewhere but if this was the high profile final word, I expected a mention. And to book-end it, the sad ending didn't mention the promising reconvening of the MGs and subsequent murder of Al Jackson Jr before that could occur. That subject is still controversial, with plenty of speculation, but remains untold. An acknowledgement of the events should have been included at the very least. The four parts could easily have been longer. It reminded me of watching and taping The Beatles Anthology from the initial TV broadcast and then getting the expanded version when released on sell-through, so much more. Perhaps there will be. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
