Shindig! No.145

Hold back the autumn gloom with the new Shindig! magazine's terrific cover piece about the LA freak scene. This month I spoke to the super cool Jack Martin about his album cover work and I also got a glimpse of state51's desirable new Donovan reissue box. I've told you before, you gotta subscribe.

Belbuy Poly - The Path

Two weeks ago today I was out of the country for the release of the new Belbury Poly LP, so I didn't get a proper chance to say how much I enjoyed working on it and how much I love the finished item. And you will too. Get it while it's hot!

Shindig! No.138

I'd long been planning to investigate the Annie Walker model agency and their rather unique place among the musical movers and shakers of late-'60s Britain. You can read all about it in a double-length Vinyl Art in Shindig magazine No.138, out on the high street this very day.

But enough about me! How about Sly and the Family Stone, Eddie Piller, the King's Road (site of my first job, but really, enough about me), The Byrds, and much more besides? You'd be reading it already if you subscribed.

Shindig! No.137

On newsstands this very day! Shindig! magazine No.137 with Hipgnosis, Altin Gün, Wattstax, David Crosby deep cuts, and The Jeff Beck Group. And this month my Vinyl Art column heads to Zagreb.

If you were a subscriber, you'd have been having all this fun last week.
