OldMod67 4th Apr 2024 | | BookJoan M. Pitts - Through A Georgian Window | I've not yet added a publication date for this, although it's clearly 1985-
Online I've seen it dated as March 1st 1986 which could be correct, although dates on Amazon aren't always reliable.

OldMod67 8th Feb 2024 | | BookJohn Wyndham - The Best Of John Wyndham | Re: a hardcover edition. There was a hardcover released in 1975, titled The Man From Beyond and Other Stories which apparently had the same content as this. The publisher, however, was Michael Joseph so I may be in error. I still don't have a copy so can't confirm personally. In fact I still haven't got around to getting the paperback or indeed the two individual volumes.

OldMod67 28th Jan 2024 | | CD AlbumPurple Hearts [UK] - Extraordinary Sensations! | @PaulVinyl - Thanks for the prompt submission, complete with all the images! I got quite excited at the thought of a PH collection. Unfortunately no Peel session or their BBC In Concert set, which is a disappointment. Compare The Chords equivalent, which included radio sessions. Judging by the images it looks a cool package. I will probably have to get it.

OldMod67 19th Nov 2023 | | BookMark Lewisohn - The Beatles: All These Years Vol. 2: Fab | Ah yes, volume two. I was asked by a customer only a week or so ago, on the volume two situation. When made aware I also checked availability of the extended volume one for him. Plenty of time to read (and re-read!) that before the second volume graces the shelves...
