Michael Chapman / Fully Qualified Survivor (vinyl reissue)

Folk rock guitarist Michael Chapman‘s 1970 album has an incredible pedigree since it features a pre-Bowie Mick Ronson on lead guitar, Rick Kemp of Steeleye Span on bass and is produced by Gus Dudgeon. For extra kudos it was also issued on the Harvest label. This is a Light In The Attic vinyl reissue.


Deep Purple / All I Got Is You (CD)

Deep Purple are certainly cranking out the CD singles, and hurrah for that! A swift follow-up to the Time For Bedlam single release, All I Got Is You is a five-track single, with three of them exclusive. The album Infinite, from which this is taken, will be released on 7 April 2017.


Paul Weller / Jawbone (OST)

Paul Weller‘s first film score is for British boxing film Jawbone.  Read more


Marti Pellow / Mysterious (new album)

The Wet Wet Wet frontman has a new solo album out this week, called Mysterious. It sounds good on paper, since it features the Tower Of Power horn section and Stevie Wonder’s rhythm section. The weedy looking box set edition that charges you £20 extra for an interview disc and some postcards is best avoided.


Joe Cocker / The Life Of A Man: The Ultimate Hits 1968-2013 / 2CD set

Joe Cocker / The Life Of A Man: Ultimate Hits 1968-2003 (2CD)

Not quite sure why this has appeared in the release schedule again… but this Joe Cocker collection is a solid two CD set that summarises the career of the fine vocalist. Read more

  1. It reflects a sad trend in Australian advertising – rather than make the effort to create a new jingle/song, agencies just take an established pop/rock/etc song and write horrid new lyrics. Then get ‘real’ (i.e. talentless) people to sing it. Coles and Chemist Warehouse are the worst offenders.

    Or they take an awesome pop/rock/etc song and re-arrange it into some dreary piano version with a weedy female vocal. Steve Winwood’s “Higher Love” and Boo Radleys’ “Wake Up Boo” are recent victims of this bastardry.

  2. Peter B, it was sad wasn’t it? At first I had trouble accepting it was the actual Quo doing their songs that way.

    And copies of a Staus Quo comp album, that I think actually included the advert tracks, were at the registers. In another time, they might have got away without us being able to let the rest of the world know. :)

  3. A few years ago, Australians got to see Status Quo diminish their legacy through adverts for supermarket chain Coles – “down, down, prices are down” – yes, really. If you’re a Quo fan who hasn’t seen these, you might want to look away now!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlISKG_0yIs and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB383WkXcqE and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7OHYaU4cV4 – there’s more if you type “status quo coles” in youtube.
