Every now and then I’ll mention that I wrote a couple of books (sorry)
If you have a couple of quid you don’t know what to do with, perhaps consider supporting a local author (me) Thanks

Gerry Rafferty - Snakes And Ladders 1980

The 2023 Abbey Road half-speed master. Beautiful!
Can’t believe this was only £12.99 from Assai Records. Absolute steal.

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - History of Modern 2010
#MicksVinyl #VinylSky
Their first album since 1996, and the first to feature the classic four-piece OMD line-up since 1986's The Pacific Age.
A fantastic return to form.

Big Country - The Buffalo Skinners 1993

Ten years after ‘The Crossing’, Big Country remind everyone they are not just a bagpipe-sounding flash in the pan.
This is a fantastic album that cranks the guitars up loud and proud.

Another tongue-in-cheek single from the mid-eighties. Great stuff, but I never did win Stan’s Mini 😠

ABC - The Lexicon of Love 1982
#MicksVinyl #VinylSky
Bought this on cassette when it came out, then on CD
Ultimately succumbed to MP3, then streaming.
Now I finally own it on vinyl. Sounds as glorious as it looks.
Without question the best they ever made, with nothing that followed coming close.

If ‘Out of the Blue’ was ELOs Opus Magnum, then ANWR was a more than fitting Overture.
Bristling with the classic ELO sound, this record is up there as one of the best.
