The Teardrop Explodes - Treason (It’s just A Story) - 1980. This is the original Zoo Records release of Treason as a pre runner to the release of Kilimanjaro. The song didn’t chart so was remixed and reissue as a follow-up to reward in 1981. McCulloch…. #theteardropexplodes #juliancope #zoorecords

Michael Head & The Red Elastic Band - Thekla Bristol. 06/12/24. Another amazing show from the Britains greatest songwriter. #michaelHeadtreb

My Spotify Wrapped for 2024. I kinda knew after January that I was listening to my album of the year and my Wrapped result proves it…

Step forward Bill Ryder-Jones! #billryderjones #spotifywrapped

The Fall - Grotesque Live - loving this series of live issues. Long may it continue! :) #thefall #vinyl

My un-ironed 1990 Extricate Tour T-Shirt. 34 years old! Most venues were universities. I attended the Kilburn Nation show 21st March. #fallfriday

The Specials - Rat Race / Rude Buoys Outa Jail - 1980. A lot of people forget that this was a double A side single. I was so lucky to have this kind of music in the charts and on Top of the Pops as a teenager. It certainly gave me awareness…. #thespecials #vinylcollector #vinyl

The Stranglers - Walk On By - 1978. Is this the greatest cover version ever???… #vinylrecords #vinyl #recordcollector #punk

The Teardrop Explodes - When I Dream - 7” 1981. This is the 4th of 7 single releases from the album Kilimanjaro! And there were only 11 tracks on the album! At least this means we got 7 new B Sides! Result :) …

It’s that time when we all put together our top five albums of the year. Although my number one was decided as far back as January 2024, this one is certainly in the big five. Ian Skelly drummer with The Coral - Lotus and the Butterfly - AV8 Records. 1960’s Psych! Superb album… #vinyl #thecoral

Finally! I have a copy of Bend Sinister on vinyl. This album was the first ‘post Fall awakening’ release for me so always holds a place in my heart! #fallfriday

Slant 6 - Soda Pop * RIP Off - 1994. I was totally unaware of Slant 6 until Graham Coxon recently posted the song Thirty Thirty Vision. What a revelation. Strong songs with ace vocals! Love it! File under Punk Pop!…
