For the first time, the albums I fancy number in double figures.
However, there are NONE worth standing for hours with a bunch of bald, poorly dressed, middle aged men with poor personal hygiene in the pouring rain, for the pleasure of spending my hard-earned money to stores that are (mostly) just cashing in.
The gimmick laden depression sets further in with âOfficial Cider Partnerâ (See sponsors at bottom of page)
It is a sad day for capitalism and record collecting to have missed out on âOfficial thrush creamâ âOfficial serotonin reuptake inhibitorâ âOfficial heart stentâ Official deodorantâ & âOfficial blow up dollâ
Ălan @htm_1968 is probably your man for that, although he was fulminating about the last lot of Spacemen 3 stuff that was released for RSD, the guy who runs the label that released them apparently screwed the band over good and proper. Allegedly.
So if itâs being released by the same label, be prepared for him to advise you to boycott it, no matter how good the programme material might beâŚ
None of it is band approved at the moment as far as I know. There are/were proceedings issued so the direct releases via Spaceage seemed to stop only to be replaced by âlicencedâ reissues. If is is âLive in Europe 1989â then it is OK as a representation of SP3 but the sound quality is pretty poor in places. Pete Bain used to update things via his blog, but this has tailed off.
About three Iâd fo for. But not enough to get up and queue.
If anyone is braving it and can help let me know. If not Iâll gamble on the online sale a week later. Or head in Sunday as Iâm at work and can hit rough trade at lunch.
