Will be having a day of Beachwood Sparks today in honour of our anniversary. We had this as our first dance on our wedding day, 18 years ago. This will forever be our song.

On the flipside of this discussion about certain music being important at points in time, some music which i was mad about at the time fails to have the same effect nowadays. Nirvana, for me, are a good example. I LOVED them back at the start of the 90s and they opened so many doors for me, but i re...

this is THE live Verve recording. anyone who thinks they don't like them needs to hear this. shame as a fan you haven't heard much live stuff of theirs as that's where they really shine. you need to hear the Reading Festival '97 (although incomplete) and Glastonbury '93 both FM broadcasts.

I'm going to go with 1992, not because of being a revolutionary year for music in general, but because it was a tranisitionary year for me. I was having a think about this thread and have to agree with Stevie. It was certainly a big year musically for me as the Creation scene really took off. So ma...

While trawling an old hard drive yesterday for photos, i stumbled on this live show from 1994. Radio broadcast by the sounds of it, but the sound captured is incredible. I'm sure there are plenty of you that know the show i'm referring to. The guitars sound right up front in the recording letting yo...

I'm so very happy today! Totally deserved and long overdue. I hope now they can smash the rest of the records available (most wins, etc.) before the end of the season. Klopp has cemented his legend status at Anfield now.

I’m also curious how you got the artwork to separate out to assign to the tracks – sorry of that’s not put very well – I mean the sleeve art that you designed in CW 01 etc shows the front and back as one image, yet the artwork embedded in the tracks is just the front one (really cool). How did you ...

And i've added a new "covers" ZIP file with just the sleeves i made if you just need them.

Just checked my files again and found Vols 8-11 (i renumbered them - 12 became 11) including the covers i made for them. I'll replace Vol 8-11 in the dropbox link above so you can grab them.

Yeah, all (nearly) back to as normal as can be under the circumstances. Wife was back at work two weeks ago but her boss could tell she still wasn't 100%, so she told her to just work half days.

Volumes 1-9 + 12 and a half done 10. uploading now, so i'd give it an hour and they should all be ready.

Any probs, let me know.

Looks like the HD concert is not able to be ripped audio-wise. Having trouble looking into it from home when all my usual apps are located in the office. I'll keep plugging away.

I have had better luck with the King Tuts gig, so wil try and get that separated out at first opportunity.

The wonderful Helicon did one a few weeks ago and Sice from the Boo Radleys did one last week which was superb.

Nice to see artists making good use of technology to keep us fans entertained during lockdown.

We all probably want to hear something new from Pete but we also know what he does best, being predominantly coming from an electronics perspective. I think the new track is better than Just Imagine IMO as it has a slightly different dynamic to the repetative, mantra nature of Just Imagine. Some of ...

For me, Amazing Grace and Let It Come Down were simply leftovers from the Ladies & Gents sessions, so I'd be surprised if there would be much more of interest in the vaults from around then.

Nothing in the pipeline Stevie; no interest shown by anyone. Mark quite happy to go down the digital route as long as he can keep putting his music out.
