And also a new 2 cd, 3 lp, DVD, blu-ray and digital download of Alan Parsons in a live show with orchestra called “THE ALAN PARSONS SYMPHONIC PROJECT LIVE IN COLOMBIA” recorded in august 31 2013 with all songs from the Project era.
Isn’t the Parsons release not out until late June?

Yesterday saw the CD and Blu-Ray on a record store shop here in my city so must suppose that is right now on and the reléase date was told by Alan in his own internet page.
Amazon UK have it in stock.
What about the return of Jarvis?
Who is Jarvis?
..Cocker presumably.
I was thinking that as well but he has nothing coming out and hasn’t released an album since 2009.
Yup Jarvis Cocker, a 7” with four tracks as a soundtrack for a tv series based on a Neil Gaiman work if can remember correctly…
Also a new album from Beth Orton which can be had with a signed lyric sheet

Also out this week is the deluxe reissue of “It still moves” by My Morning Jacket.
You missed the release I’m most looking forward to on Friday – the new Big Big Train album, Folklore.
Available on CD / download from their website or on vinyl at Burning Shed

Chris I’ve just been emailed by Burning Shed informing me my order of Big Big Train ‘Folklore’ on CD and LP has been dispatched, so I’m hoping to have them by Wednesday this week.
For me this is going to be the ‘Album Of The Year’. Big Big Train are the greatest Prog band that exists at this time. Those of you who have a taste for Prog but have not heard BBT get this new album and work your way back through their catalog. You will not be disappointed.
Hi Paul, thanks for another update, the Leonard Cohen links currently point to Steve Hackett…hidden meaning?
No hidden meaning, just a cock-up :) Now fixed. Thanks for letting me know.
