May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Another piece of memorabilia recently gained from eBay trawls was this. I’ve seen several photos from … I’m guessing the same photoshoot – before, but never this particular photo. And it’s a genuine vintage promotional photographic print. In stellar condition it was too! I’m very happy with this. Yes I am! The photographer is Paul…
“So when I thought Charlie’s guitar in ‘Angel’ sounded like church bells…” – writes Adam Sweeting, having just been given an explanation by Jim of the ideas behind the song. You can read a full extract of that below. I’d be intrigued to know what the book of short stories was. I thought for a…

Proud of my collection of photos. Changed the ones I had on display today. Had pages of the 40 Tour Program on display but decided to go for some favourites of Jim from my Virginia Turbett collection. I want to be surrounded by things that make me happy. And ssooo many photos that Virginia took…
There is a path that leads me here to this post. A path that was an unexpected but wonderful stroll. The stroll continues, still. I’m not sure how much of this I can explain. Best to keep it a bit cryptic and vague. We love ambiguity – ain’t that right, Jim? Suffice it to say…

No details on date or location, either. But if I was to hazard a guess, I’d say 1980, Europe – most likely Germany, but it’s all guesswork. Anyway, we get the quirk of two half photos in one frame. Any other theories on it welcome.

It started last night with another piece of “art”… And then there was joy in the post this morning. This man and the music he helps to make is the biggest bit of sunshine Glasgow has. I held off buying the 40 Silver vinyl edition and then when it was being sold at a reduced…
Final couple of acquisitions for now. I had been waiting to have the funds to get this final two as I couldn’t just grab them all at once. I thought at one point I lost out on getting the band photo but it was just the listing had ended and it took a while for…
