Musician, Audio Engineer, and geeky muso.
Just to confirm, I think I prefer Deep Purple Mk. 3 over all others. That is all.

Another of yesterday’s pick ups. A nice US copy of this album. Probably in my Top 3 Fleetwood Mac albums… It is amazing to think that Station Man survived the live set over the years. But Earl Gray is the highlight for me. Here’s a lovely acoustic demo featuring Peter Green: youtu.be/o9hs_rFXbPg?...

A fun trip to London today visiting the Spitalfields vinyl market and Flashback (which is probably one of my favourite record shops). After what feels like ages searching for decent copies, I brought home these two Talk Talk original UK pressings. Very happy.

Excellent article on the Yardbirds in this month’s Record Collector with some positive words about the box set I mastered. Even if you are only a minor fan, do check out Ultimate Live At The BBC if you get the chance! It is fascinating to hear the band’s take on Dazed and Confused!

Took a weekend trip to Liverpool for my birthday. Getting old. Nothing to get hung about.

Happy 2025. I have mostly been listening to some old vinyl bootlegs. This is a gem from 1986 I recently found (along with another 8 volumes!). I would also argue that some of the tracks sound better than the versions officially released by Apple on the official BBC sets. #beatles #vinyl

Today I have been digesting this beast. The US configurations have always piqued my interest and it is nice to own fresh analogue pressings! Two albums in and sounding pretty darn good!

This years Apple Music Replay in Albums, because that’s what I tend to listen to. I think the Lemon Twigs would take the crown for my top album of 2024 though, followed by The Smile’s Cutouts.

Thanks Amazon! I think you knew deep down that when I ordered that David Bowie LP, what I actually really wanted to be sent was a *checks package* Cardi B LP…

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the BFI for the launch of the Bonzo Dog’s upcoming box set that I provided some material for. A wonderful evening and the restored Colour Me Pop episode was fantastic. Also a pleasure to meet the legend that is @marklewisohn.bsky.social! Thank you Mark!
