UPDATE: Well, as it turns out – 5pm is the EARLIEST I can arrive…so, it’ll be a MAD dash to Tantrum when I arrive! An emergency taxi ride from Glasgow Cental to Tantrum. Or a train to Exhibition Centre and a short walk from there to Tantrum. Oh, hell!! Why do they have to be…
New vinyl acquisition!! Finally got a copy of the Celebrate album on vinyl. Have been keeping my eye out for a bargain one. This one was being sold on eBay for £20. It had one minor flaw (seen in the photos), that being small splits at the bottom of the both inner sleeves. The seller…
