I've recently been picking up the Bob Dylan Bootleg Series as I can afford them. Completed the full set of studio albums on vinyl (a fair few I have doubled on CDs over the years) last year. Due to cost (as I'm picking up the full, Deluxe versions where those exist) I'm getting these on CD. The bonus of CD being, of course, much easier to rip to FLACs for my digital audio player. I still use a dedicated player for music - better sound quality than my phone, and better for travelling. Ten hours of constant use in the battery, and no worries about the phone battery being down when I land at the other end and need to pull up an app with my tickets on it... At home, of course, I still prefer to put on a real album and listen as the artist intended, but for travel on the go it's a joy to have access to over seven thousand songs so far, with just about 20% of the memory card taken up. Last night, my new, deluxe rereleases of Stiff Little Fingers 1978 debut LP, Inflammable Material, arrived. The LP is beautiful - two discs on high quality vinyl. One, the original album, the other a previously unreleased recoding of a 1979 live gig in Troon, Scotland. (Ayrshire, a part of the country I know well from many childhood holidays in the eighties.) The CD Deluxe Box set version, which I also purchased, is a joy. Put together with a comparable level of detail to many of the Dylan Bootleg Series Box Sets, it has four CDs and a DVD. The first two CDs are the same as the vinyl discs, a third carries all the numbers the band recorded for two John Peel radio sessions in 1978 (including tracks that were recorded and never broadcast), and the remaining disc collates all the demos that were recorded in 1978, ahead of the recording sessions for the album - again, previously unreleased. All packaged with a lovely booklet of early SLF history, and great archive and candid photos. Oh.... and there's a DVD with a copy of a few rare TV and other screen appearances by the band in the early days. Absolutely essential for any fan, as is the album for anyone with an interest in late 70s punk rock. Which I always find is quite a strong contingent among the 'vintage' community, certainly here in the UK. Lovely to see a rerelease done with such care and attention and offer so much that was previously unavailable; I gather Jake Burns, knowing a rerelease was inevitable, worked with the label to ensure that it was something well worth buying for the fans rather than just a repackaged cash-in. I'm now hoping they do the same thing for the other albums too...

Synthwave/Retrowave, still my thing!

I enjoy a number of artists I have watched/listened to on Western AF. Nick Shoulders is one my favorites.

Same here though this was the first time I’ve listened to Nick Shoulders. You never steer me wrong, TOE. Good to hear from you.

Great to hear from you as well. Hope you and yours enjoy the holiday. Hopefully, I can continue w the good advice where concerned with music. If you enjoy rockabilly music, you might try bopflix (if you haven’t already) on Youtube. The Backyard Casanovas from Germany are just one of a number of entertaining bands.

No need to say more. Surely one of the best albums.

Back In the day there was a local drag racer with a Plymouth Satellite who wore a Bell helmet with a bubble face shield. The face shield had a track ground out from the bottom up to his mouth so his cigar could stick thru. Can’t remember his name.

I love the pic near the end of the video with the dog in the front seat.

One of the best german christmas songs for me.
