Is the vinyl reissue of Mansun’s ‘Six’ due this week as well, Paul, or is it just the CD/DVD set?
Yes, vinyl as well.
Alas, I think Steven Wilson is now 29th March…..
The Blu ray of Little Steven’s Soulfire Live seems to be officially out in Europe this week. I’ve had mine for a couple of weeks. The visuals are crap, ruined by all sorts of “special”effects, but the sound is terrific.
Why do they screw up an entertaining show with that crap on screen.
