Madness
Forget the credit crunch, mortgage despair, housing crisis and unwinnable wars as it seems our lame government has!. The latest high profile announcement from Whitehall isn't tackling our heavy reliance on borrowing or stemming the blood loss in the housing market, it's answer is providing free swimming - God help us!!.

worth a gamble...
No shortage of top class sporting events this weekend with the beginning of Euro 2008, minus England of course but well worth it if it meant getting rid of McClown, who is in the same league as Willie Walsh & Adam Crozier in the completely incompetent managerial stakes.
 

A very open tournament in prospect and i'm celebrating it by planning to eat the food of one of the competing nations playing on each day, so tomorrow it will be a serious Turkish kebab. Sunday could be interesting - Schnitzel (Austria) followed by copious amounts of beer (Germany) & vodka (Poland) is on the cards...

 

Also tomorrow, there's another of the great British sporting institutions - The Derby at Epsom. Haven't studied the form closely yet but Curtain Call stands out purely cos it's a a great Damned track, while locally named Maidstone Mixture must have 3 legs judging by it's chances...

Question to EIL:
What is the message on the reverse of this LP? It should be displayed on the bottom left corner of the back sleeve. I've heard that the first and second issues display different messages and differ in value, but I don't know which is which or how much they're roughly worth... My issue displays "Most People Call Us Queen, but What We'd Really Like To Be Called Is King. Thank You To Everone Who Helped...." The image I'm seeing here is slightly blurry, but it looks like mine. I've seen issues which just say "Thank You To Everyone...." but are stated as second issues - any advice please?

A very nice item to own, go for it if you find it around. No "special" versions of the 2 tracks as they're the same as they appear at the "3121" album, but a must-have in my opinion for the collectors of purple music.

BREAKING NEWS!!! BREAKING NEWS!!!
Fantastic news just in from our good friends over at Planet Rock.

Four British rock stars and one rock and radio fanatic have teamed up to save the digital Radio Station from closure – and help build the brand, it was announced today (Thursday June 5th).

Rock and radio fan Malcolm Bluemel’s acquisition from GCAP Media is supported by some of rock’s biggest names -- Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi, Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson MBE, Gary Moore, and Fish – and saves Planet Rock from certain closure.

Thousands of fans were outraged and banged the drum to keep their favourite station on air – petitioning amongst others The Prime Minister and OFCOM to ‘Save Our Station’.

Fish joined his starry colleagues in welcoming the announcement: “I always knew that there was a visionary out there who would see the huge potential that Planet Rock has to offer. I am sure that the station will go from strength to strength.”

The consortium, headed by millionaire Bluemel, has plans to exploit the station’s unrivalled demographic to maximise revenues.

“The people at Planet Rock and their listeners are passionate about their music and their station, which is why I wanted to step in and help make it happen.

“Rock fans have been traditionally very poorly served in this country and Planet Rock is the place for them to feed their fanaticism.”

Bluemel, 55, who is helping to organise a reunion for former Radio Luxembourg DJs in the Grand Duchy this August, is fanatical about radio.

“I share the station’s passion for rock and radio.  I marched in the 60s when Harold Wilson announced that he was shutting down the pirates.

“It has an authenticity and integrity booming out of it. Now we aim to take it to the next level, preserve all that’s great about the output and utilise other platforms to serve an even bigger audience in a wider variety of ways.

“The fact that so many artists have come together to help make this happen is testimony to the importance of the station.”

The development will act as a very positive marker for the digital radio industry.

Planet Rock’s listening figures are at an all time high, with a weekly reach of nearly 600,000 – better than a number of national BBC radio networks.

Trevor White, Programme Director for Planet Rock, said: “To say we’re happy with t...

Question to EIL: Honky Tonk WOMAN rare misprint Rolling Ston
Hello, I have a copy of Honky Tonk Women on blue Decca label (unboxed) and dated 1969.
However, the title printed on the record is 'HONKY TONK WOMAN', not WOMEN. Please could you tell me
if this was an early release which was later changed to Women or is it the Holy Grail of spelling mistakes?
I have spent hours trawling dozens of sites and forums, asked numerous 'experts' and cannot find a single reference to a copy of the record with WOMAN in the title, although many sellers etc wrongly put WOMAN in their titles. The 'B' side is You Can't Always Get What You Want.
The matrix numbers etched into the run off area are:

HONKY TONK WOMAN - MISPELLED VERSION
Side 'A' XDR - 45283 - T1 - 3C
Side 'B' XDR - 45284 - T1 - 1C

HONKY TONK WOMEN - MY OLD COPY
Side 'A' XDR - 45283 - T1 - 1C
Side 'B' XDR - 45284 - T1 - 2C

I'm not sure what the matrix numbers signify, although I imagine they refer to when and on what press they were made?
There is a photo of the label at the URL below. You can contact me directly: oldgitsuk at dsl dot pipex dot com

Who are ya...
More by luck than judgment i caught the 'Amazing Journey - The Story Of The Who' on BBC 2 on Friday night and it was well worth staying up into the early hours for.
Interesting and informative, certainly for anyone who's not a harcore Who nut, it made me realise 2 things. The Who had better songs than both the Beatles or the Stones and Keith Moon was the best drummer in the world. Ever.

 

Didn't think there was much happening in the sporting world last week but lo and behold, Usain Bolt goes and breaks the 100m sprint world record at just 21 years of age. Seeing the clip on the news, i'm not surprised because his legs are ginormus.

 

It's rumoured he could be even faster than our resident IT bod John (Kentucky) Thomson when he hears the tuck lady turn up in her van each morning...

Mirror Mirror On The Wall.....
I am pleased to announce a very exciting collection that we recently obtained. We have been chosen by the legendary concert promoter Mel Bush to sell part of his cherished archive of promotional material from the 70's and 80's.
 

For those of you that are not aware of his work, Mel was one of the biggest concert promoters of the 1970's having promoted concerts by the biggest names of the decade such as Queen, Cliff Richard, Elton John, David Bowie, The Jam and naturally Led Zeppelin - The list goes on and so did his work, right through the 1980's. He promoted such high profile gigs as Wham! The Final and numerous multi artist events such as The Princes Trust concerts.

 

At this time what we are able to offer are Mel's prized collection of commemorative mirrors. These are visually stunning display pieces that were commissioned by Mel and presented to a band or artist to congratulate them on a successful concert or tour. Mel always kept a duplicate for himself as a souvenir but feels the time has come to share this spectacular items with the fans of the bands he promoted all those years ago.

Over the next week or so we will be advertising mirrors by the following artists

 

Led Zeppelin

The Jam

Wham!

Santana

Roxy Music

Bryan Ferry

Wings

Osmonds

Slade

Queen

David Bowie

Vanessa Mae

Kim Wilde

A-Ha

Bad Company

Elton John

Jean Michel Jarre

and more.....

 

Keep checking the website as it may take a few days for the one you're waiting for to appear, but be warned, they will be sold on a first come, first serve basis and once they're gone the're gone, remember the only people who ever had these items were Mel Bush and the band they were presented to!

Question to EIL:
I have this exact issue, but on mine the front cover is a miss print. There is a white bar on the bottom about a half of an inch thick all the way across, and at the top you can only see the very bottom of the "T H E" and the same with the word "L I F E" in the title "THE LIFE AND DEATH OF". i just wanted to know if this is of any significance toward the price. It looks like they printed it this way.

Review: Superb!
I found the Guillemots back in 2005, and have been a massive fan of their work since then. Their first album, "Through The Windowpane" was a journey through the heart. It had a couple of upbeat tracks, but was mainly mellow. "Red", the second album is way more upbeat, which makes this track somewhat of a sheep in wolf's clothing. It isn't out-of-place on Red, and it takes you from the loud sharpness of "Big Dog" to the roaring anthem "Get Over It". It just shows you how adaptive the Guillemots can be.

What I find amazing, is that the Guillemots managed to get Sir Ian McKellen to star in the video. The story goes that Sir Ian's nephew saw the band and asked them if they'd like his uncle to be in one of their videos. How can you possibly turn that kind of invitation down?! A few weeks later, Sir Ian has seen the band play live, has agreed to star in the video, and the band turn up to the filming to see Sir Ian on the floor in the rain! "What have we done to this Knight of the British Empire?"

The song is wonderful, uplifting and the video is just amazing to watch. 10/10!
