It’s about 30 years since I was last in Liverpool so I had to do the Magical Mystery Tour bus trip followed by a visit to The Cavern. Undoubtedly because of The Fab Four, some greats have graced the stage here:

July 2023 Book 29: The Stand - Stephen King Wow! What a book. I've been working my way through King's bibliography and this is my fourth so far. While I've enjoyed his previous three outings, none can hold a candle to this. It felt infinitely better penned, more akin to a work of literary...

Prince - Come (Warner Records, 603497839445, 2023 reissue) The last great Prince album IMO, I’ve resisted spending a fortune on this several times so delighted this reissue arrived. Sounds real good too, very happy Sunday spin.

June 2023 Book 25: The Agony and the Ecstasy - Irving Stone Spanning the end of May and the start of June, my family and I had a week-long trip to Italy taking in Pisa, Florence and Rome. As with most of my travels, I like to take up a book that has some connection with the place I'm visiting...

Ike & Tina Turner - River Deep~Mountain High (A&M Records, B0024308-01, 2016 reissue)

Toshiaki Yokota • Primitive Community - Primitive Community (Universal Music, UPJY9263, Japan, 2023 reissue)

Really enjoyed it. The Trible vocals aren't generally my thing but they aren't too overbearing and the instrumentals are phenomenal. Hope it comes through for you, I missed the last one and can't get it at a decent price now.

The White Stripes - Icky Thump (Third Man Records, TMR-500, 2022 reissue)

Kahil El’Zabar’s Ethnic Heritage Ensemble feat. Dwight Trible & David Ornette Cherry - Spirit Gatherer • Tribute to Don Cherrry (Spiritmuse Records, SPM-KEZ010, UK, 2023)

RIP Martin Amis, a tremendous writer.

Asher Gamedze - Turbulence and Pulse (International Anthem Recording Company, IARC0057, 2023)
