One of those / my defining albums, I’ve written a lot about The Farm on a previous post about their new single – read here. This is worth saying. Released on this day 4th March 1991, where has 33 years gone. Spartacus is the debut studio album by British band The Farm from Liverpool, released on 4…
The lowdown: important information or facts about something, this something I have wanted since 1995. Burned by Electrafixion on Vinyl! Electrafixion were an alternative rock band, formed by former Echo & the Bunnymen members Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant in 1994, joined by bass guitarist Leon de Sylva and drummer Tony McGuigan. They released one album, Burned, and four singles and EPs before splitting up in 1996, due to…
Put another way, what Vinyl will be in my basket? I always look ahead to see what Vinyl releases are imminent, I don’t have a direct link to any sources specifically telling me what is on the horizon so like everyone else I search sites to find out. There is nothing here you cannot find…

I often do as it was a time that massively shaped my musical appreciation that still lasts today for a number of genres. I came across an article in the NME from 21st August 2014 which got me reading. It’s entitled 50 Forgotten ’90s Bands Who Prove ’90s Indie Wasn’t Just About Oasis And Blur. It’s a…
The Beauty and the Chaos indeed Leopards don’t change their spots and thats a good thing. There is a reason I bought ‘Unbelievable’ and ‘I Believe’ on CD single and Shubert Dip on Vinyl back in 1991. The CDs are away in a box somewhere in the loft replaced by streaming but the Vinyl is…
You get these records by established artists, theres been a build up of anticipation as the record companies have done their job drip feeding posts to grow the excitement, then the day comes.
