Re: Billy J Kramer BBC tracks collection wanted.

I know the BBC issued several different cds done by The Beatles ( Of Course ) the Kinks,The Hollies,The Who,The Rolling Stones., The Yardbirds. but not too many by lesser known groups that were part of the British Invasion. Manfred Mann, Small Faces, etc etc. First, I'd suggest the Prof Stoned's bl...

Re: A good day at the office

I have several thousands of books on rock music - all kind of artists, mostly quality books; also lots of mags, CDs, box sets, HDDs filled with everything in FLAC, and no idea at the moment who'll inherit the riches :lol: the least I can do is to compile the list and to attach the note, "If you...

Re: Was Back in the USSR controversial at the time it was released?

Nah, the song's references were nothing but contemporary. After the Cuban crisis, Khruschev was ousted by Brezhnev, and Brezhnev was a WWII veteran, not interested in confrontation after witnessing the war in person. (Khruschev also was a man of note from the war period, but he did not serve in the ...

Re: Was Back in the USSR controversial at the time it was released?

There's an anthology of rock writing called "The Age of Rock" from 1970, I believe, and it has two pieces next to each other. One is by a guy who was some leading publicist of the American Right (not the Rev. David A. Nobel who authored "da book"), and the gist of his article (re...

Re: I hate effing Cloudflare

Jim Morrison on "Absolutely Live" makes a joke about cops - "You know, their motto was "Protect & serve"". In fact, he uses a wordplay - his true words were, "You know, their motto was "Protect enserved"". :lol:

What I have found interesting is that the material put up by BeatlesVI and the person(s) who put up the Mega.nz material (was that Lennons Ghost?) have some seemingly identical tracks here and there throughout the collections. Not identical complete lp's, but just various tracks scattered here and ...
