Welcome To My Blog

Thanks for checking the blog out... Hope it offers something a bit different every now & again. Though I come from a pseudo - Mod background (Soul & Ska in particular), I have a diverse taste in music & hope my varied posts will reflect this.

Cheers Skamanc .... I'm not after your undying gratitude, but please leave your thoughts, comments & opinions on the posts & content. I regularly up- & download material, plus buy and trade items. As such, if I have inadvertently "trodden on anyone's toes" in posting anything then please let me know & accept my apologies. Also please support the artists involved & remember that the blog is merely a pointer toward these various downloads, which are stored elsewhere. Legally, any downloads should not be retained for more than a week. So now I've told you the legal bit !

BUZZCOCKS : The Roxy, 2/4/77

Not a very polished performance, but an important piece of history. The genius that is Howard Devoto had just left to form Magazine (Loads of posts on soon) & this marked the beginning of their transition into an excellent band (playing & writing wise) as well as very successful in chart terms.

Anyway its gone 1AM & I've just finished a cracking post to kick off February in style : 76 recording of The Pistols, Clash & Buzzcocks as well as loads more quality sounds to follow, including several Magazine gigs. So, I'm off to feather as Mrs SM is working a night & I've kids to bath, feed, dress & get to school. Wish I'd kept me jeans on....

    I picked that CD up in Chicago about 20 years ago and promptly lost it. Thanks for the repost!
