sladesounds 14th Dec 2015		Vinyl Album Alice Cooper - From The Inside	The front and rear of this sleeve has hinged flaps that open out (as shown in the scans). There is also a hinged flap on the inside being the door marked "quiet room". Inside the door is the legend *"Inmates - In memory of Moonie"* a reference to Keith Moon a member of Alice's drinking club "The Hollywood Vampires" who had died a few weeks prior to the albums release.
sladesounds 9th Dec 2015		CD Album The Beach Boys - Beach Boys' Party! Uncovered And Unplugged	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 5th Dec 2015		Vinyl Album Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality	I have, based on the back cover and labels amended this release to 1976. This 1971 album seems to have first been reissued then and also again in the 1980s. Can any one confirm this as it will affect the other NEMS Black Sabbath reissues.

sladesounds 24th Nov 2015		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - Around And Around	Covers and label scans from the 1967 reissue uploaded.
sladesounds 24th Nov 2015		CD Album Tori Amos - Tales Of A Librarian	CD World meets Book World! I like the way that the librarian title has resulted in the dewey decimal system being used throughout the accompanying booklet.
sladesounds 23rd Nov 2015		Vinyl Album The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night	Have added image <896173> & <896174> which I believe are from the 3rd pressing. The credits around the rim have changed from "The Parlophone..." to "The Gramophone..." The "Sold in the UK..." remains on the label.
sladesounds 13th Nov 2015		Vinyl Album Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip - Angles	[YouTube Video] Letter From God contains a sample from Planet Telex by Radiohead [YouTube Video]
sladesounds 11th Nov 2015		TV Get Some In! (1975 - 1978)	I must admit I too had forgotten about this show but could, as soon as I saw this entry, sing the theme tune....."it's time for national service men, so get some in".... [YouTube Video] I must have watched more rubbish TV in my teens than I usually admit too
sladesounds 9th Nov 2015		Book Dave Thompson - Goldmine Standard Catalog Of American Records	I bought this as more of a reference rather than a price guide. If you want current valuation of records two useful online resources are: Popsike & Collectors Frenzy which both summarize EBay selling prices I like Popsike as you can see the trends on how some items rise and fall in price over a given time.
sladesounds 8th Nov 2015		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - Love You Live	I assume the inner sleeves came whole and also die cut as for some reason I have one of each.
sladesounds 3rd Nov 2015		12" Single The Cramps - Kizmiazs	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 3rd Nov 2015		Vinyl Album Katch 22 - It's Soft Rock And All Sorts, It's Katch 22	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 2nd Nov 2015		CD Album The Beatles - Please Please Me	These were (still are?) available for download on various sites so that CD-Rs could be burned. Be warned the Purple Chick web site states "Purple Chick discs are fan created and NEVER FOR SALE!!! Seriously, if you pay money for them you were ripped off - someone somewhere sold what they obtained for free. Not cool." A very good series of bootlegs as far as bootlegs go. Gilbert - nice entry but can you in future add composer credits so as to save someone else having to do it.
sladesounds 1st Nov 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Acid Jazz: The 25th Anniversary Box Set	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 28th Oct 2015		CD Album Matthew Sweet And Susanna Hoffs - Completely Under The Covers	Sid n Susie (Sweet and Hoffs) nail the covers market - an excellent selection of tunes. As stated by Susanna Hoffs in the accompanying booklet "... making these recordings just felt like two music nerds getting together and having a really good time..." and that's how they sound, a great selection of sometimes the more obscure tune covered to perfection.

sladesounds 26th Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Bad Manners - Bad Manners	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 24th Oct 2015		Vinyl Album Argent - Counterpoints	B4 features Phil Collins on drums.

sladesounds 20th Oct 2015		TV It Ain't Half Hot Mum (1974 - 1981)	Very much of it's time this comedy series actually was quite sucessful and was (for it's time) rather funny. The biggest talking point these days is all the non-PC points such as Asian characters being portrayed by white actors (Michael Bates playing Rangi Ram etc.) and how wrong that is. The colonial theme that was the show is also labeled as racist however many like me have noted that the Asian characters were often portrayed as being more intelligent and knowledgable than the "white" soldiers and the officers were type cast as being upper class fools. It was most of the time the English (and the Welsh Sergeant Major) who were the butt of the jokes. Windsor Davies screaming at his troops, calling them a bunch of "poofs" was for the times it was set in historical correct. Ok it isn't in 2015 politically correct but that was the way it was in the Army during the 1940s (and it continued that way well into the 21st century). The one fact I love is as TheJudge says Michael Bates (Bearer Ranji Ram) was born in India and learned Hindi before English. In a 2013 interview with The Telegraph Jimmy Perry (the writer) protested that Michael was never "blacked up"... it was more of a light tan.

sladesounds 4th Oct 2015		Book Alex James - Bit Of A Blur	Rated 8/10 A good overview of the Britpop era by the bass player of Blur. The book flies along at a good pace and is enjoyable and funny view of the ups and downs of being in a (successful) band during the Cool Britainna period of the 1990s. It documents his excesses (he estimates to have spent £1m on cocaine and booze before sobering up) and the music scene around that time with references to his social circle that included the likes of Damien Hirst and Keith Allen. He comes across as, rather than a rock star rebel, an intelligent man with good taste making the most of what his money can buy before slowing down and becoming a family man (with cheese!) Worth a read whether you are a Blur fan or not. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?

sladesounds 15th Sep 2015		CD Album Bob Dylan - The Complete Album Collection Vol. One	Wow - 2 months after I started finally got this one finished - admittedly I was doing it in slow time at work rather than at home but glad to get to the end.
