The Vinyl Countdown # 585

John Rowles, John Rowles’ Hits (1968) I always used to make that joke – a bit of a music-retail gag, I guess – about how the Greatest Hits of a particular artist “should have been an EP”. Well – look here. A surprise to see exactly that from someone with an ego – like John […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 786

John Rowles, If I Only Had Time (1972) I’ve had to see John Rowles a lot. A lot. That’s music-reviewing for ya, and I was thrown into that, really – I mean, I knew who John Rowles was, had my parents’ baggage attached, and was actually pretty impressed the first time I saw him…he was […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1210

John Rowles, Rowled Gold (1976) The story goes, a woman from the record company was off to meet John Rowles – this is like early 2000s, some meeting to discuss a new compilation or something. And they’re going for lunch but rather than meet at the lunch place he asks her to meet at his […]

If I Only Had Time: The John Rowles Autobiography

If I Only Had Time: The John Rowles Autobiography John Rowles with Angus Gillies New Holland Publishes (NZ) Ltd John Rowles, as anyone who has seen his almost-cabaret crooner shtick in concert will know, is not short on ego. His stage show is peppered with tales of hobnobbing with Elvis Presley, Tom Jones, Sammy Davis […]
