  1. Paul The sound quality on the Roxy Music box set is stunning. I know there was a long discussion about the promise and then absence of 5.1 but it is a good value set and well worth considering.

    Your site is very much appreciated and I am sure I speak for many of your readers when I wish you and yours a very happy Chrisymas and best for 2013

    Salutations from Detroit

      Paul Sinclair says:

      Many thanks Hedley! Agree with you about the sound of Roxy. Hope you enjoy the festive period over there in Detroit… cheers, Paul

  2. Disappointed that Edsel’s comprehensive and well packaged Deacon Blue reissues didn’t get a mention… around 200 tracks, with every b-side and almost every extra track and remix ever released by CBS / Sony and Papillion, all the original linear notes, new photos, every song lyric, new overviews of each era / album written by Ricky Ross and all 6 reissues at one point totalled about £70.
