More Beatles.....
I know that I said in my previous entry that I'd be highlighting items I bought in Utrecht over the next few entries, however I must tell you about a collection of Beatles LP's I picked up a couple of days ago - Every single item in the collection was in absolutely pristine condition. It looked like the previous owner had purchased each of the 150 items from new, played it a couple of times, then placed it away in a protective plastic sleeve and stored it away until now.

The collection comprises of every UK 60's album, some mono, many stereo, plus all 70's and 80's releases such as Love Songs and Rock N Roll Music. In addition there is every solo album by John, Paul, George and Ringo plus some associated recordings such as Travelling Wilburys LPs. Also included in the collection is every 12" single release from Paul McCartney plus selected releases from George and John. There are also a couple of non-UK releases included in the collection, these too are in perfect condition.

I have many favourite pieces in the collection - after all it's not every day you find a mint condition Temporary Secretary 12" from 1980, but the two items that stick out for me are the soundtrack LP for the movie The Family Way featuring music by Paul McCartney of course in perfect mint condition and the Danish only compilation album form 1965 entitled The Beatles Hottest Hits with the legendary 'Eskimo' picture sleeve. Research tells me that they made fewer than 3000 copies of this album 40+ years ago so I imagine there aren't too many mint copies (like this one) floating around!

I'll be highlighting more Utrecht goodies next week or check my latest arrivals if you can't wait.....

Ultimate Pink Floyd Rarity?

I've just returned from the Utrecht mega fair with some outstanding items from artists such as David Bowie, The Beatles, The Stones and many more. The first item I'd like to bring to your attention is an album by Pink Floyd, not just any album but my personal favourite Dark Side Of The Moon - What's so special about that you ask? Well, this issue was manufactured in Japan and was due to be exclusively distributed by a mail order record club, however it was withdrawn at the last minute as permission for the cover artwork - a picture of the band performing live during the 'Animals' tour was not sought or given. Very few copies of this now legendary album have ever surfaced, even in Japan.

 

In the 20 years we've been in business, with a buyer constantly hunting all corners of Japan for hidden rarities, this is only the SECOND copy we've ever seen - in any condition! There is a very detailed description of the album and the history behind it here, along with some cool pictures. 

 

In my opinion this is quite probably the rarest Pink Floyd album on the planet, feel free to email me if you know of a rarer Floyd item, steve@991.com. Oh and I'll be highlighting quite a few rare items on my blog over the next few days so keep checking back.....

WORST BAND EVER
Our friends over at Classic Rock magazine have bought this little gem to the world's attention.
 

Possibly THE worst cover of a song we have ever heard. If you can think of anything that beats it please let us know. Until then please marvel at the Jon Lord-esque keyboard skills and the pitch perfect vocal dexterity of the Coverdale in waiting.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAaw9KDlc3Y

Sealed Bowie items...
Back in stock are 2 David Bowie collectables that are still shrinkwrap sealed from new! First up is the Ryko CLEAR VINYL issue of Changesbowie and then there is also the triple cassette version of the Sound + Vision box set.
Snap them up quick kids, they won't be around for long...

 

On to this weeks sporting highlights and i watched the first round of the US Masters golf into the early hours on the BBC last night and good stuff it was too, with the English contingent leading the way.

Not only did Ian Poulter get a rare hole-in-one but Justin Rose is joint top of the leaderboard with Lee Westwood joint 3rd. That can't last can it...

Don't play golf myself and i don't understand why people go to watch it live when you see so much more on the excellent tv coverage, but enthralling stuff nevertheless.

Predictions...
Just call me Nostradamus - Picked the winner of the National at 9-1, the snow certainly came down and settled in my part of Kent yesterday and the P&TTB gig was in a very dubious pub in a very scuzzy part of South London.
At least the motor was still there when we came out.

 

I also forecast more idiots on the TV talking rubbish about global warming, the 'credit crunch' and other assorted news stories where they've jumped on the latest bandwagon, like the 'drought' we were all going to suffer from a couple of years back.

 

Funny how these incredibly clever broadcasters never seem to talk about such events BEFORE they happen...

The weekend cometh (and the snow...?)
A weekend of top quality sport to watch including the Grand National, the Amir Khan fight & the FA Cup semi-finals with the gig of the weekend being the legendary Peter & The Test Tube Babies at a dubious boozer The Dirty South in a suitably scuzzy part of Sarf London.
 

Be there or er... save your car getting pinched from the surrounding side-streets.

 

Keep wrapped up warm kids - It's going to be chilly outside!

Mass Debate
Classic Rock Magazine has compiled a list of the 50 best live acts of all time.


The list, which was topped (if not unsurprisingly) by Led Zeppelin was voted for by a mixture of 128 journalists, rock stars and other music luminaries.


The current issue is out now and is well worth a read - plus you can find out how Fugazi made number 30 on the list. See the full list here but in the meantime what do you think?

Planet Rock News:
The Who Prep Covers Record: The Who’s current producer, T Bone Burnett, has revealed that the band are working on an album of vintage R&B covers.


It was revealed earlier in the year that the band would be starting work on their new album later in 2008, with Pete Townsend mysteriously adding the proviso that he wouldn’t be writing all the songs.


Well, now that mystery is solved after Burnett told Rolling Stone magazine that the duo will be recording an album of material based upon songs that they performed early on in their career.


Burnett said “We’re digging through lots of material and seeing what will work. There’s an incredible treasury of songs in the mode of what they used to play. Not ‘Heat Wave’ [an early favourite of the band], but ones that people probably haven’t heard of.” Townsend, Daltrey and Burnett are due to convene in London in the winter to start recording the record.


First Young Support Act Confirmed: Neil Young has confirmed the first support act for his Hop Farm gig in July. Primal Scream will take to the stage on 6 July, prior to the man himself playing his only scheduled festival appearance of the year.


More support acts are due to appear at the unbranded event and we’ll confirm these when they’re announced. The Hop Farm Country Park is a popular tourist attraction in Kent, but for one day in July will attempt in some way to reclaim the hippy ethos with an unbranded & unsponsored day of music.


According to the press for the event, there’s no registration or VIP area so everyone has the same experience and no one is treated any better than anyone else. You can get tickets by heading to the link here. This one


Zep O2 DVD Remote Possibility: If the will-they-won’t-they-tour saga isn’t enough for you, then how’s a will-they-won’t-they-release O2-DVD saga as well?


It was widely expected that following the triumphant show at the London venue last December, the band would release the DVD and donate money from sales to the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund – the charity for which they reformed.


However, it seems that there is some doubt as to whether the will actually see the light of day.
