Maybe you’re right, “Should own” sounds a bit didactic, doesn’t it? But even in a magazine series with a tradition of comically long titles like this one, it would have been hard to fit a subtitle like “…if you unexpectedly come into a large sum of money or can otherwise find a way to legitimise the expense” on to the cover. We’re talking about an ideal situation here. And it’s worth saying that while the universe of rare records is certainly a place where money will help, this isn’t a list of the world’s most valuable records (although some are…

Bob Dylan’s friend, early champion and biographer Robert Shelton once said that by starting with “Rainy Day Women #12 &35” and ending with “Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands”, Blonde On Blonde had opened with a joke and closed with a prayer. For a lot of people, the same could eventually be said about Dylan’s ’70s, a decade that began for Dylan with the release of Self Portrait, a double album of largely country and western covers – widely regarded as a joke that no one found funny – and the curtain coming down on it with his conversion to…

Speaking about the value of time and the importance of not forcing art,the concept was to shine a light on the expectation of artists to constantly release content, and the balancing act they face to maintain creative integrity and output.With the ever changing landscape and “fast food” way in which music is now consumed, it’s become a hot topic of conversation amongst creatives. The ambition of the track is to re-empower the artist’s role and not fall victim to the algorithms cheap dopamine hits.“Take Mine” has already seen support from BBC Introducing in Scotland and RINSE/SWU FM and will be…

Colchester’s KaiserKillers are back with a new track, “Isolation”. We’ve previously featured the outfit on this website, but what this new release showcases is a bit more on the stripped-back side of things…. ajangly, catchy slice of acoustic-meets-punk indie driven by unmistakable British charm.One thing that instantly struck me was how jangly and fresh this track sounded, a bit more along the lines of acoustic rock, with the sounds of The Beach Boys even coming through. There’s a very memorable riff within the track, but for me, the main vocals were the real draw, with an undeniably British accent clearly…
