The Vinyl Countdown # 248

Peter Fonda, Peter Fonda (2018) I have a very kind friend based in Australia who has hooked me up with some interesting vinyl from talented, if lesser known players.

A tribute double A-side-type thing. Which, I have to say, I was unaware of until very recently. Well, I’d heard the Gates of Steel cover and I rate it. I think maybe […]

girlboss: Body Con

girlboss Body Con [ep] Ball of Wax Records A couple of years back I saw girlboss – then just a duo – and I’ve been waiting for some recordings ever since. Now, it’s a full band – still based around the singing and songs of guitarist/vocalist Lucy Botting, but augmented not only by Douglas Kelly’s […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1035

Prince, Purple Rain [Single] (1984) I’m getting excited about the new offerings from Prince – will I bet let down in the end? Oh probably, but as a card-carrying paid-in-full Prince fan you’re kinda used to that. No biggie. Still worth the excitement at the time – and then years on you still discover some […]
