Hi, I'm a vinyl obsessive of forty years standing. On my channel I'm going to be posting reviews, discussion, rants 'n 'raves about the last few decades of recorded music - and showing exhibits from ever expanding record collection. My tastes range from classic rock (Beatles/Stones/Floyd) through to prog (Genesis, Yes, Crimson), soul (Otis Redding, Aretha, James Carr, Curtis Mayfield, Sly Stone), blues, jazz, world, and a whole lot more. Subscribe now and come with me on a rock'n'roll adventure.

Very excited to finally do a long-planned Costello video with @RossGoodallMusic.
Put the kettle on and join us!

Imagine this: back in the day, producers and engineers would take what a drummer had played and NOT run it through the nearest piece of laptop-based software so that each and every snare beat had the EXACT same tone and velocity. They'd also let natural room ambience make it onto the finished recording rather than compressing everything to shit.

Just letting people know that tomorrow AFTERNOON (Sunday 30th) there will be a small number of signed copies of 'Lights! Camera! Beatle!' by myself and John Heaton on sale at the Beatles convention at the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool, at the stall run by the Beatles book seller Dino Vescera. So if you're there, please watch out for it and if you fancy one, grab it. There won't be many so first come first served (quite literally)!

The return of rainy days at least sends me back to the turntable. Absolutely loving this 3rd outing from Brummie art-yacht-popsters City Boy from 1977.

If anyone has bought a copy of my and John Heaton's latest book 'Lights! Camera! Beatle!', and lives within spitting distance of Manchester, just letting you know that this coming Friday (the 24th July) I'll be live on stage (any time after 8pm) as part of an author open mic evening organised by Panda Books & Records, at the Talleyrand pub, 1030 Stockport Road, M19 3WX.
So if you have nothing pressing, pop along to say hello, hear an extract read out by yours truly, and get your copy signed. Look forward to seeing you!

In this week's video I talk about Robert John 'Mutt' Lange, the famous and rather enigmatic south African record producer who rose to MTV glory and prominence in the 80s, but who had a string of lesser known and less successful records behind him before the good times came. I show 6 records, some of them big and famous, and others rather less so. Do feel share to share any others you have or know.
