    *The Wonderful World Of Joe Meek *

    Yeah I thought about that after posting it and I may well have got the financial amount of money the wrong way around?. The financial amount that was awarded to Joe Meek was the 'equivalent' to £3.MILLION POUNDS in 2008 and not in 1967 sorry about that and as for who received the money after Joe...

    What Did You Listen To In The 80's?

    Just re-listening again to and possibly the most enjoyable late 1970s & early 1980s "Heavy Metal band" that rode in on the British NWOBHM phenomenon of 1979-1981 was the French band TRUST. I have nearly all of there cd albums all sung in French (don't let that put you off) that I bought back in...

    *The Wonderful World Of Joe Meek *

    I went and watched the 2008 film about Joe Meek in the Odeon cinema in Holloway Road only up the road from Joe's old recording studio in Holloway Road which was cool. I went and saw that film 3-times that opening week I recall and it's quite a good film especially towards the end when Joe kills...

    *The Wonderful World Of Joe Meek *

    Joe's old north London recording studio in Holloway Road is only down the road from where I live in north London although these days it's above a Indian food shop. A heritage 'blue plaque' is fixed to the brick wall above street level under a first floor window saying something like "Joe Meek...

    1969's Best Rock Albums

    With regards to the Altamont festival I have read 'the book' about it and it's a good read along with seeing some of the film footage that appears on the Stones American tour of late 1969. With regards to the actual film that was shot I would like to see some more of the film especially of...

    Review Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street (1972)

    Some of the tracks are better than some of the 'jam songs' such as Tumbling Dice, Happy, Sweet Black Angel, All Down The Line and several others but overall it works but as a Stones album I prefer Let It Bleed which is probably my favourite Stones album.

    I Love This Song: “Highway Song”

    Yeah 'The Highway Song' by Blackfoot off the Strikes album is a great song and in fact the whole album is a good listen from start to finish although the next album Tomcattin' is my favourite Blackfoot album. The next Blackfoot album after Tomcattin' is Marauder and is another good listen from...

    Black Oak Arkansas (Official Thread)

    I occasionally hear what young people listen to in the UK today which is either Hip Hop or 'rehashed rock' from current rock bands or female singers like Britney Spears or Adele and female singers like those two and I think to myself there is tons of great 1970s rock albums from the 'golden age'...

Anyway at...

    Black Oak Arkansas (Official Thread)

    I presume that the couple of remaining record shops in London in 2023 possibly either think that there is no demand or maybe have just overlooked ordering any of there cds?. Even mention of MOUNTAIN on another topic thread is pitiful because there is currently only 'one' Best of Mountain cd on...

    The Clash (Official Thread)

    Apparently Mick Jones of The Clash is seen fairly often browsing around the FOPP record shop in London's west end and was also seen in the currently closed HMV shop before it was closed in 2019 on London's Oxford Street as well by the shop staff who told me that several years ago and no doubt he...

    Forgotten Bands of the Sixties

    Currently re-listening to all my TEN YEARS AFTER cd/albums that appeared on the Decca/Deram label between 1967 & 1969 and after a label switch the chrysalis record label between 1969 & 1975. This four piece British blues/rock band actually turned out some really good albums from about 1969...

    The BEATLES (Official Thread)

    Yeah a bit weird for a day or two a couple of weeks ago that both the iconic British bands from the 1960s were being talked about in the same breath so all we needed to complete the picture was a unreleased Jimi Hendrix song going to the top of the British charts as well and would have been the...
