Couldn't resist the 30th anniversary greatest hit vinyl pressing of The Charlatan’s ‘A head full of Ideas’. They were the first band to take the crown of the Manchester Indie scene, alongside the brilliant Happy Mondays.

Of course they are fronted by the none other, highly respected Tim Burgess who is currently enjoying a somewhat resurgence as a podcast presenter, attracting box office interviewees from the music industry.

A signed print comes with the 3 LP, coloured vinyl set but will unfortunately be incomplete due to the untimely deaths of two of the band members - one from a brain tumour; the other a car accident. Just tragic.

However, The Charlatan’s are a very important part of British music and are revered amongst the harshest of critics and highly respected by their peers.

The album is available in various formats, including a boxset.

Got the email about this and all the formats it's going to be on. As much as I love the band, I felt their work after Us and Only Us was a bit spotty. I dunno...it's like they'd lost this sound they had that I liked. All their albums up until that point I really enjoyed and thought Tellin' Stories was utter brilliance (maybe because the Chem Bros were noodling about with some of the tracks). Maybe I need to revisit the albums that came out after UaOU to see if they'll change my mind.

I love the new maroon 5 album minus the useless features they put on. The duet with H.E.R. Is fantastic.

Maroon 5 haven’t been about guitars for a long time. It’s basically adams solo show and has been since prolly overexposed. Yeah guitars are there but no one is listening to maroon 5 for amazing guitar riffs. 🙃

Maroon 5 and 1st video it’s him only? Should be Adam Levine featuring Maroon 5 .. lol

They aren’t even a true band…I would be pissed at him when his band mates aren’t even in the videos …

Three new RSD additions on vinyl. I say vinyl because the Tears For Fears live vinyl set and Ultravox are both available on CD.

The Tears for Fears clear vinyl is the much anticipated live at Massey Hall from 1985. Ultravox Vienna uses an alternative cover artwork and contains an unreleased instrumental version of the album as well as a Steven Wilson mix of the original.. Finally, Suede ‘Love and Poison’ a live album (pressed on clear vinyl) that captures Suede at their humble beginnings in 1993 at The Brixton Academy.

1993. What a great year for music. Or was it very ordinary?

For any gearheads, or really anyone on this board who plays an instrument alone or in a band, the band I'm in played our first proper show in almost a year and a half last Saturday, and it went about as well as we could have hoped! We actually felt we could have play better, but the crowd was wowed and the venue already added another show (in two weeks) to the ones we already have booked for the Fall. While there IS a DD connection (we played Rio, along with ten other new songs, for the first time in public after working on it for months) this post is focused on the new pedalboard/power supply I used for the first time, with perfect results. Believe it or not, I had plugged each smaller pedal (and a power supply for each) in separately for years and years before every single show. I didn't think a pedalboard could work for me due to the different size/shape stages we play on, plus when I would go to someone's house for a "jam" (I hate that word) session or even for a practice, space is always limited so I would only bring, say, three to five pedals. Finally I gave in once I found one that can fit many pedals in a small space, not use velcro, and has a second raised tier so I don't risk bumping the lower pedals with my foot when I'm reaching for the upper ones:

Thanks for sharing. It’s good to see other artists get involved. Also makes a change from my own posts about vinyl.

It would be cool to see others write about their own passion.
