Autumn 2023

Here's a little mix of some of the sounds that have turned my head in the last 18 months or so.

Shindig! No.143

It's Shindig! magazine No.143, with Allan Jones, Ronnie Bird, KPM, Joe Meek, and a host of other great stuff, including me taking a cautious look at Beelzebub's lair in Vinyl Art. Out yesterday. Go 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.141

Out this week is Shindig! magazine No.141, with an Island Records Deep Cuts, Meiko Kaji, The Wicker Man, and all manner of other superb stuff. My Vinyl Art column enjoys a detour to France and takes in beauty contests, film stars, metalwork and mediumship. Subscribe!

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.

Shindig! No.134

 

It's the Shindig! magazine end-of-year issue featuring Aphrodite's Child, The Spencer Davis Group, frosty winter sounds, and the seasonal love-in that is the 2022 Writers' Poll. My non-xmas-themed Vinyl Art column, on the other hand, is just plain Bull.
