Hi Phil .. this week it’s been back into The Who Who’s next /life house box … superb box .. and very soon to be a year old .. Some Neil young … and a surprise visit into my New Order boxes…

This week among others Husker Du 'Zen Arcade', World Trade-s/t, Jerry Only's solo album who's title escapes me, others but those are from this morning

I have been listening to new Michael Schenker box set and can report that the care done with the packaging and especially the remastering are top notch! Though not on your list, i just received via Amazon Rod Stewart's "Every Picture Tells a Story" on SHM-MQA HQ cd and Yes's "Tales From Topographic Oceans" also on SHM-MQA HQ cd. Both of these releases sound exceptionally good/excellent. Thank you again for your "What i have been listening to..." post as it entertained/educated me for 18+ minutes while I lay in recovery waiting for my hospital room after total left hip replacement surgery. Cheers!!

I thought I'd look for a copy of the Evonne Elliman album Phil, but Discogs UK only had 1 for sale and the cover dropped to VG. So I'll add it to my wants list and keep looking 😄

Trevor Rabin 'Rio' this week

Too true: the Sensational Alex Harvey band were sensational. That that album should have been a double. As you say, what a band. Today only bassist Chris Glenn and guitarist Zal Cleminson survive. Also recommended: the band's 'Fourplay', which was minus Alex. Great tunes, great playing, great production. And a great back cover photo. A must have for any and all SAHB fans.

Can't wait for the Moggs Motel interviews. The lead track Apple Pie is a killer 🙂

This week I am listening to: Renaissance - Ashes Are Burning & Turn Of The Cards Lou Gramm - Long Hard Look David Hepworth: Deep 70s CD box-set AC/DC - Let There Be Rock & Highway To Hell CDs Ratt - 1st 3 albums Diamond Head - Lightning To The Nations 2020 Gun - Hombres Extended Edition CD & vinyl Jethro Tull - Minstrel In The Gallery 40th Anniversary box-set & "A" (Steven Wilson remix) on vinyl

REM "Out Of Time", "Automatic For The People" & "Monster" on CD UFO "Phenomenon" on CD Black Country Communion "Afterglow" & "2" on CD Judas Priest "British Steel" on vinyl AC/DC "Highway to Hell" & "If You Want Blood" on vinyl Pink Floyd "Momentary Lapse Of Reason" on DVD-A, Yes "Fragile (Wilson mix) " on vinyl

Been playing Stones-Let It Bleed,Tull boxset To Old Too Rock n Roll;Too Young To Die,Rainbow-On Stage,Tull-Nightcap,Golden Earring Cut deluxe edition

“Sommargryningsljus” by Kaipa and “Stranger Skies” by Ellesmere which are for me right now my favourite albums of 2024 that I have heard so far. The title track of “Stranger Skies” takes me to extraordinary depths of enjoyment and features some terrific flute playing by John Hackett.

Hi Phil funny i just played those MSG cds this morning 💯💯🤘🤘It's a great little box set

My plays so far this week: Kansas - Drastic Measures Sammy Hagar - Standing Hampton Humble Pie - Smokin' Trapeze - Medusa Journey - Journey Kiss - Dynasty Molly Hatchet - Molly Hatchet Eddie Money - Life For The Taking Fates Warning - Perfet Symmetry Quiet Riot - Metal Health Rainbow - Straight Between The Eyes

This week I have been playing Queen Rock Montreal (CD), The Game (LP) and Hot Space (Stream). These recordings just make me feel so good. It takes me back to my teens in the 80s. The new live recording is quite good with a high-quality sound mix. Literally the best live album from Queen. This is the band I have listened to the most throughout my life.

Absolutely loved the video Phil, you made me just want to take out Master Of Reality and wake up the street hahaha. I just love your enthusiasm for individual albums, and music in general, love it. I think the reason i enjoy your channel so much is because we're both from the same time, the 70's, the same age, and with much the same taste. It's so true what you said about albums you bought at the time, it's the connection and the memories that make them so special. Nearly every album i own has a story connected to it, signifying a moment in my life. I can take out an album and i probably can tell you where i was living at the time and what might have been going on in my life at that time whither good or bad. This week i have been listening to Status Quo live from Dublin 02 Arena, Iron Maiden's Dance of Death, Jon Anderson's second solo album which i picked up in a charity shop. My recent music purchases tend to be a lot of album reissues, box sets, albums i had on vinyl or cassette years ago which have worn out disappeared or whatever, plus albums i missed at the time or never had at all. I find it difficult to really find new bands or music that is like nothing I've ever heard before, music that when you hear it for the first time gives you goosebumps followed by... FUCKING HELL, WOW ! like the first time i heard Judas Priests Sad Wings Of Destiny, the afore mentioned Master Of Reality, Close To The Edge, when was the last time you got that feeling, if like me it was probably a long time ago. Two bands which have caught my attention in the last couple of years are 'The Paradise Twin' and ' Riverside ' they're not overly different but there is just something about their music that grabs me, the rest doesn't. I also have to be picky about what i buy now, especially vinyl, guess why ? Cause I've no fucking room hahaha. Anyway, keep your videos coming Phil, i enjoy them immensely, take care.

Playing this week Vinyl Black Oak Arkansas - Live Mutha Free - Live BB King - Midnight Believer Split Enz - Mental Notes CD Lone Star - Firing on all Six Alessi's Ark - Time Travel Alberta Cross - Songs of Patience Dave Mason - Alone Together

I’ve had on the turntable this week so far, Black Sabbath Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Captain Beyond and Hawkwind Space Ritual. Looking forward to more of your great content!

I've been listening to the Rolling Stones singles collection (3cds) Chuck Berry collection and Elvis Sun Sessions and first album.

Love these videos Phil. Always get new inspirations watching you and reading comments. In heavy rotation for me (all CD’s) this week include. Queensryche-Rage For Order Grave-Dominion VIII Destruction-Release From Agony

I had a shock when you showed the Bob Seger - Seven 😄

Phil, a great and diverse list. With all the sport on at the moment I have not had too much opportunity to listen but have been exploring the Robin Trower 10cd box set, esp the two albums he did with Jack Bruce, Pendragon and Sabbaths Mob Rules. Kind regards

Spinning this week, Band Of Skulls - Baby Doll Face Darling Honey (CD), Supertramp - Crime Of The Century (CD), Illusion - Illusion (V), Ed Harcourt - Beyond The End (V) and Johann Johannsson - Orphee (CD) Ta!

My listening this week has been The Doctors Of Madness. especially their first album 'Late Night Movies, All Night Brainstorms'. Phil if you have never heard this band you need to have them in your life, I saw them live at Wigan Casino in 1977 & it still ranks as one of the best gigs I have seen (& I have seen some in my time)

That WWA pressing of Master of Reality probably uses the original Vertigo plates anyway, so there you go.

Fab vid! Love your chat about the ‘Sabbath and Gillan vinyl. Such fun! 🤘😎🤘

Sorting out the shed on Saturday and underneath about 10 boxes of the wifes stuff there was a long lost tub of CD boxsets, missing for so long I thought I must have sold them ( or she did). Just like Christmas in July🎅 Delighted to find I still had the Songs of Yesterday by Free boxset Been playing it all week, will get around to the others eventually

I know what it's going to be played a lot soon, Deep Purple new one equals one.

Hi Phil, great show has always not had a chance to play much this week but did have a Streetwalkers binge on Monday Red card, Vicious but fair and Streetwalkers live great band has was Family to, having recently moved and most of my vinyl still boxed up I emptied one box and came across the Handsome beast Sweeties single with the naughty picture sleeve (well by todays standards maybe) amazing tune, keep up the good work Phil top man 👍

Go blighty!!!

Phil, Interesting playlist ! I found myself enjoying something very different and new for me, Big Audio Dynamite (B.A.D.), formed by ex-Clash guitarist Mick Jones and film director Don Letts in 1984. Someone on your FaceBook group mentioned them, and I gave them a listen on RU-vid. Their sound combo of reggae, hip-hop, punk rock, funk and dance music have a hold on my ears, purchased 3 of their cd's !!! Also, finally purchased those poly sleeves you talked about before. You were spot on about space saving and ease of use. All the best from the U.S.A.

Finished collecting Saigon Kick on CD. Just got their self titled CD thru eBay. They came out in 1991 & had such a unique sound & feeling as opposed to the other hard rock/metal bands that were already out there. Of course - their most famous song is Love is on the Way from their 2nd CD - The Lizard. But that song doesn't even scratch the surface of their musical genius. Their 3rd CD - they split with their lead singer & the lead guitarist took over singing duties. They do a great cover of Space Oddity by Bowie on their 3rd CD titled Water. Their 4th CD - they continued their unique sound. The only CD of theirs I don't have is their last album titled Bastards. That one is extremely hard to come by. But if you want a great band whose musical style is very eclectic - Saigon Kick is a great band to listen too!

This week I are bin mostly list'nin to: The Who - Who's Next / Life House Box Set (yes, it's a heavy box!) Yes - Fragile Deluxe Box Set The Byron Band - On The Rocks Box Set Warhorse - The Recordings Box Set Sparks - No.1 In Heaven 45th Anniversary Edition Robin Trower - Bridge Of Sighs 50th Anniversary Edition Emerson Lake and Powell - The Complete Collection

I have listened to Glory Road this week. Unchain your Brain, On the Rocks, No Easy Way and Sleeping on the Job, fantastic stuff. I remember when I first bought it back in 1981 just after buying Future Shock and as a 16 year old lad Ian's vocals just blew me away.

I had forgotten about Eddie and the Hot Rods 1976 version of "Get out of Denver". But I did remember Dave Edmunds made a version of it the year after. It's the opening track on his 1977 album Get It. This week is a Horslips week for me, thanks to you Phil. The box is a bit too expensive for me at the moment but I've ordered some stand-alone CD's that has been om my wish list for some years.

I LOVE your content! you have so much knowledge of ROCK. You should really do a Friday night listening party with band members or those in the know of those bands. I think it would go viral!!! If it could be done live it would be awesome!!!! Much LOVE :)

Been listening to Jon Savage's (excellent) compilations: The Secret Public 1955-1979, Welcome to Techno City 1983-1985, The Art of Things to Come 1980-1982. These comps are so good if you (like me) are trying to widen your perspectives on music I either didn't know about at the time or steered clear of (maybe cause it wasn't "rock" enough). Also, Jon Savage's books come highly recommended from me.

The Atlantic 75th Anniversary 45 rpm version of The Yes Album sounds sensational.

I'm constantly listening to your recommendation of Orphans of the Ash, so many thanks for that Phil. Also playing Prince and the Revolution live from Syracuse which is fantastic - he was so good full of music and always added to tracks live to keep them interesting. Depeche Mode - Momento Mori is also a current one , it could be their best. Looking forward to your Masters of Reality review👍

Check out Witherfall start off with the vintage ep features excellent tom petty cover.

Another excellent vid, Phil. This week I’ve been listening to XTC’s pastoral masterpiece Skylarking (produced by Todd Rundgren). I recommend it if you’re not familiar with that band’s work, and wish to dip your toe into the water.

I'll look forward to the Phil Mogg interview. This week I've been checking out a few recent LP purchases so I can leave feedback for the sellers: Jethro Tull - Chateau D'Isaster 2LP, Warchild 2 Chester Thompson - Wake Up Call Richard Thompson - Ship to Shore Henry Paul Band - Grey Ghost I've just received Carla Fuchs - Songbird which is a new album where Carla has put music to unreleased Sandy Denny lyrics a-la Mermaid Ave. Looking forward to delving into this.

I just finisher listening to Pinups - David Bowie. I'm not a huge fan of cover albums but Pinups is one of the best. Also listening to Time - ELO and for newer albums Vagabonds Virgins & Misfits - Mike Cambell & The Dirty Knobs, Headspace - Big Something, Here To Eternity - Collective Soul.

Mechanix is a great album. Will have to look at my Master of Reality to see what label its on. Nice one Phil... been having a Barclays week this week.

Alright Mate , I cannot for the Life of me understand having to have original pressings and paying small fortunes for the privilege. Some of us have to live on a budget !!!. Black Country Communion V and Porcupine Tree Live In Amsterdam are on Heavy rotation. Stay Well and Be Lucky.

Looking forward to the Mogg and Carter interviews. Mechanix is my favorite Chapman Era album. Something Else should have been a b-side, and Heel of a Stranger should have been on the album in its place. The Writer, Doing It All For You, and We Belong to the Night are top shelf classics. I also have The Yes Album super deluxe, the Steven Wilson remix is excellent. The extended version of The Venture is wonderful. Will there be a review of the Pallas box set by Esoteric. Thanks.

Master of Reality... that's my fav Sabbath album right there. I love Sabotage, I adore Vol 4, but Master of Reality... that's the one. As for myself, I've been alternating between Pink Floyd and death metal lately. Yeah, weird combo I know. I was never able to get into death metal before, but now I love it! They always have the best drummers.
