Richard Austin - UK Office Living On An Island ... You know, the shiny round things.
Well, if you do see anyone and they remember the good old days of Gramophones, solid vinyl that you could build houses out of and times long before the invention of 5" digital bird scarers then they might want to know something.
If you really want to know & the name Chris Blackwell means something to you then this could be something that you'll want to own.
Founded in 1959 in Jamaica, Island Records became a household name after moving to the UK in 1962. From then until 1989 when Chris sold the label to Polygram, they became the biggest Independent Record label in history.
What a history that was - Ska, Reggae, early rock, folk ...
The label became synonymous with the ethos of the early pioneering A&R people, for whom the music mattered more than the commission, often creating a new market rather than simply finding the nearest band that sounds similar to the current flavour of the month. They took risks &, in doing so, brought some amazing music to our ears that these days wouldn't get signed as they wouldn't be 'economically viable'.
Finally somebody has sat down & compiled an extraordinary labour of love that details everything about the label - The designs, the logos, the sleeves, the bands. A complete 'anoraks' guide to the label & its releases from the early Blue Beat recordings through to the first releases of U2.
Three Hundred & Fifty Two lavishly illustrated pages in full colour with over 600 detailed label pictures & 270 sleeve illustrations!
The book was carefully researched & written by a Russian collector, Yuri Grishin, and has been issued as a limited edition of just one thousand copies worldwide. Each copy has been signed by the author.
The text is in both Russian & English and is poised to become THE definitive reference work for scholars & collectors of the label in years to come.
We have been lucky enough to obtain just EIGHT copies of this magnificent work, which can be pre-ordered
HERE - First come, first served !

Richard Austin - UK Office Happy Chinese New Year !
Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later.
The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29½ days. In order to catch up with the solar calendar, the Chinese insert an extra month once every few years (seven years out of a nineteen year cycle), which is the equivalent of adding an extra day for leap year. This is why the Chinese New Year falls on a different date every year.
The first day of the Lunar New Year is "the welcoming of the Gods of the heavens and earth".
On the second day, the Chinese pray to their ancestors as well as to all the Gods.
The third and fourth days are for the sons-in-laws to pay respect to their parents-in-law.
The fifth day is called Po Woo. On that day people stay home to welcome the God of Wealth.
On the sixth to tenth days, the Chinese visit their relatives and friends freely. They also visit temples to pray for good fortune and health.
The seventh day of the New Year is the day for farmers to display their produce. These farmers make a drink from seven types of vegetables to celebrate the occasion.
On the eighth day the Fujian people have another family reunion dinner & at midnight they pray to Tian Gong, the God of Heaven.
The ninth day is to make offerings to the Jade Emperor.
The tenth to the twelfth are days that friends and relatives should be invited for dinner.
The fourteenth day should be for preparations to celebrate the Lantern Festival which is to be held on the fifteenth night.
Have Fun & enjoy the celebrations!

A pyschedelic stain glass style which depicts Noel, Mitch and himself which Jimi has additionally initialled J.H and dated 1968. This amazing piece of artwork has a long existing fold dating back many years, but would be hardly visible when framed. The item was previously puchased from Noel Redding in 1994 & has a hand written signed note on the reverse confirming it was from his personal collection.
A Piece of rock history.

Matt Lambert - UK Chart Product & Imports Simon Wright - UK Chart Product & Imports delicious dutch exclusive HOLLIES set in stock NOW …2-disc set comprising of a 22 track CD album plus plus DVD containing 26 TV & studio performances plus BONUS interviews & live footage!
One of the best and most commercially successful pop/rock acts of the British Invasion, when the Hollies began recording in 1963, they relied heavily upon the R&B/early rock & roll covers that provided the staple diet for countless British bands of the time. They quickly developed a more distinctive style of three-part harmonies [heavily influenced by the Everly Brothers], ringing guitars, and hook-happy material, penned by both outside writers [especially Graham Gouldman] and themselves, eventually composing most of their repertoire on their own. The best early Hollies records evoke an infectious, melodic cheer similar to that of the early Beatles.
