May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
It’s a happy birthday to the multi-talented supremo, Catherine Anne Davies (aka The Anchoress), today. Here are her thoughts on the recently released reissued box set of The Beatles’ 1968 eponymous work (aka The White Album), as discussed in the current edition of Long Live Vinyl magazine…
The latest edition of Uncut magazine has a one page review of four Eno albums that have had the half-speed mastering treatment. I have already got myself into Roxy Music in a big way this year…and I have been aware of Eno’s music for a very, very long time. I have listened to a full…
