RC’s 51 favourite MUSIC Books
Sat around the fireside after Christmas dinner, with the office dog, Young Shep, at our feet, RC’s staff was sipping sherry, trying to find space for just one more teensy-weensy mince pie, burping and reminiscing. And to stop ourselves arguing about whether Charlie Gracie was better than The Smiths, or whether The Pipkins were Little And Large or Simon & Garfunkel in disguise, …

Future collectors’ item alert! When someone local says they’ve got a band and hands over the fruits of their labours on a CD-R, the recipient often expects earnestly mining indie, mod or punk stratas.

THE METEORS - Pure Evil Live
Ain’t no grave can hold these psychobilly veterans Whether The Meteors invented psychobilly or not is debatable, but their loyalty to the cause certainly isn’t.
