Mark Evetts - UK Buyer Here's the Sex Pistols... Bollocks to that. Get over the irony of 50-year old blokes singing about Anarchy In The UK (and 50-year old blokes with thinning hair and mortgages singing it back) and it was top quality theatre complete with chief villian John Lydon snarlingly resplendent in his country gent outfit.
The Sex Pistols were hardly a threat to western civilisation in 1977 despite over-hyped media reports of the time but they altered the outlook on life for a whole chunk of the youth from that era. And you can't say that about bloody Duran Duran.
The songs and
THAT album stand the test of time, no argument. Gawd bless 'em.

Laura Stoneman - UK and Import Releases Bumper Edition!! Good Morning / Afternoon Boys & Girls. Once again, I do owe you apology for my lack of blogs in the last couple of weeks, things have been a little manic here in the run-up to Xmas but I do bring you a bumper blog of awesome new titles to look out for; including: FOO FIGHTERS Long Road To Ruin
'Long Road To Ruin' is the second single from the # 1 album 'Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace', the hugely acclaimed album by the Foo Fighters. Coming hot on the heels of radio smash 'The Pretender', the single is released on 7" & 2 x CD formats.
Editors release a new single from their Number One album, 'An End Has A Start' on November 26th. 'The Racing Rats' has been a highlight of the band's live sets throughout the year and was a real moment of their performance during this year's run of 'Later With Jools Holland'. The formats will also include brand new song, 'Banging Heads', which will be familiar to anyone who has seen the band on their current sold out UK tour. 'Banging Heads' was one of the last tracks recorded during the sessions for 'An End Has A Start' but was too late to be considered for inclusion on the album itself.

Richard Austin - UK Office Let's all go backwards !!
Soft Boys , Robyn showed you how to go sideways, now it's time to go backwards.So, if you know where the prawns are & your crabs are still sacred, you'll probably want to check out this amazing retrospective box set.
I have been lucky enough to see Robyn, The Soft Boys & The Egyptians several times so any new input is devoured greedily.
Probably the jewel in this crown is the double disc set 'While Thatcher Mauled Britain' which celebrates those golden years when anything not nailed down was sold off. A side effect of which was that people who found themselves with a lot of time on their hands began to learn instruments & form bands. This homage to street corner life & thundering out anarchistic tunes from your garage/cellar/bedroom contains many rare & unreleased gems - The complete version of 'Surgery', for example, along with the neglected b-side 'Listening To The Higsons' (which is something else you had to do in those days). A lot of these songs still make it into Robyn's live solo set, but it's nice to have them on a nice shiny CD at last. The set pretty much focusses on 'Robyn Unplugged' in that two of the other discs are the awesome 'Eye' &
'I Often Dream Of Trains' along with the second version of 'Black Snake Diamond Role' [Beware! - electric guitars & a
Psychedelic Fur ]. Those of you (the other five), like me that bought the first Aftermath CD issue of the Armageddon LP [Armageddon / Aftermath - Geddit?] will already have the original versions of these tracks but all subsequent issues seem to have used different takes. Probably a similar story to the legendary (& much missed) 'skin it back' version of 'Old Pervert' on the original issue of Underwater Moonlight which has probably taken a trip to Biro land.
Still, the zillions of extra tracks (OK, not zillions, but more than just the odd one or two, a whole Heinz 57) make it an essential addition to your lib...

Peter Fenton - North American Office I, Concubine
Hi Everyone. Twelve years after his last internationally released solo album, MORTEN HARKET has a new solo project on the way, with the first single, "Movies" set to hit the airwaves and internet this week! Although there were some decent tracks on A-Ha's last studio album, Analogue , I felt myself connecting less and less to the band, and wishing for a return to the more moody, introspective sounds on both A-Ha's Memorial Beach album from 1993, and Morten's solo album from 1995, Wild Seed . For those of you who still think of A-Ha as the " Take On Me " band, you've probably missed out on a varied and deep catalogue of music that has inspired artists as notable as Bono and Chris Mar...[reply to this topic

Stephen Borkowski - UK Buyer Holland awaits.... The size of this show is beyond compare to any other record fair in the world - imagine an aircraft hanger filled with records, CD's and memorabilia and you'll be getting close.
Friday is for dealers only, a lot of records and money changes hands on a Friday. Whilst deals are being conducted you are fearful for your life as other dealers are quite literally driving around the hall in their (dirty) white transit vans looking for their stall, unaware (or uncaring) of the people in their way. I've seen many a stall collapse as it get hit by a van and many people crushed in an effort to avoid these (usually foreign) maniacs. When you add into the mix the fact that IT'S BLOODY FREEZING because all the doors are left open for the dealers to unload you'll begin to understand that this job isn't fun, sun and eating all the time!
Saturday - After the challenging and adrenalin filled Friday rush, Saturday is usually a little more sedate, until 10am when the doors are open to the public then the rush starts again! The sweet smell of 'herbal' cigarrettes hangs in the air - the heaters on full blast, and crap DJ Eddie De Clerc or whatever his name is blasts music from his stall all day. Still if we're lucky by mid-afternoon we've usually found all the items we're looking for and we make tracks for the 6 hour drive home with our bounty.
So that's the plan - look out for my update on Monday or Tuesday as I'll be highlighting a few choice items.

Peter Fenton - North American Office Dream Into Action
Hello Everyone. Last night I dreamed that I was on stage at a Police reunion concert (and in bed with Sting's tour manager!) while Stewart Copeland was bidding on Police singles on eBay with his back to the audience, and Sting was singing to the sold-out crowd. I was later waiting for the band to bring me pizza while I was attending an intimate Roseanne Cash concert, all before swimming underwater in a pool, and being shot at by guns firing blanks. That should give you some insight into the disturbed mind of an eil.com buyer, and I swear that I actually had that very dream last night! With that in mind, my dream has provided me with the inspiration to offer you some dream-and-blog-worthy collectables. Check out this really rare Japanese Police Box Set featuring coloured vinyl 7" singles and a picture disc exclusive to the box, complete with t... [reply to this topic
Saul Watson - Product Promotion IT'S OFFICIAL guitars are better investments than homes, says rock ‘n roll memorabilia expert Ted Owen. They’re also better investments than stocks and shares. A 1958 Gibson Explorer bought for $247.50 was sold in 2006 for $611,000 That’s almost a 20% year on year annual return versus an average of 12% for the typical house or the 9% typically produced investing in shares. Adam Newman, manager of Vintage & Rare Guitars says, “Late fifties Les Paul Standards bought for a few hundred dollars could be worth over $300,000 while Pre-War Martin D45’s would fetch over half a million dollars now and bought for $200.”
Says Darren Julien, president of specialist rock ‘n roll memorabilia auction house, Julien’s Auctions, ‘With confidence falling in the housing market, we’ve seen a huge upturn in interest in rock ‘n roll memorabilia.’
So now you have had FREE financial advice stop fretting (ya see what I did there?) have a look at these beautiful investment opportunities.

Richard Austin - UK Office We're coming to get you ... Interesting article in the Washington Post yesterday ...
Charles and Linda Everson were driving back to their hotel when their minivan was struck by a falling object _ a 600-pound cow. The Eversons were unhurt but the cow, which had fallen off a cliff, had to be euthanized.
The year-old cow fell about 200 feet from the cliff and landed on the hood of the couple's minivan, causing heavy damage.
A Chelan County fire chief, Arnold Baker, said the couple missed being killed by a matter of inches in the accident Sunday on a highway near Manson.
The Eversons, visiting the area from their home in Westland, Mich., to celebrate their first wedding anniversary, were checked at Lake Chelan Community Hospital as a precaution.
Everson, 49, said he didn't see the cow falling and didn't know what happened until afterward.
He said he kept repeating: "I don't believe this. I don't believe this."
