The few bob saved on the boxset you know you know….

 

“The BBC Collection’ is an all-encompassing collection of the many recorded performances of Rory Gallagher at the BBC. Featuring eighteen CDs worth of radio concerts and sessions from 1971 to 1986, roughly 75% of this material has not been officially released before. Also included is two Blu Ray discs of BBC TV concerts and studio performances from 1973 to 1984, all of which has not been officially released previously.

Amassed from the BBC archives and Rory Gallagher’s own transcription discs and off-air cassette recordings, the boxset spans 16 years of his career (1971-1986), taking in highlights such as the 1977 dual television and radio broadcast Sight & Sound concert, Rory’s headlining set at the Reading Festival in 1980 to the emotional ‘At Midnight’ concert live from the Ulster Hall in Belfast, 1984. 

A ‘best of’ from this collection will be available on 2CD and 3LP, titled “The Best of Rory Gallagher at the BBC”

These releases celebrate the importance of the artist Rory Gallagher, who was possibly the most recorded musician of the 1970s by the BBC.

“(‘Tore Down’) That was the first song I ever heard played…It’s a BBC recording of Rory Gallagher playing at the Paris Theatre in London in July 1972. And I was in the audience, aged 15, and those opening bars were enough to make me realise that this was something I wanted to do again and again… ‘Tore Down’ was my introduction to live, loud, amplified blues and when Gallagher had finished, my 15-year-old self could not contain his excitement. He ran down to the front to shake Rory’s hand…When the BBC did eventually broadcast the concert, I taped it by leaning the microphone from my clunky cassette recorder against the speaker of our old transistor radio and I listened to that tape over and over again” Nick Hornby, Author”

 

( rep expects this to be delayed further due to issues with the artwork…some man Steve, that man has lived a life , had it all nearly)

 

Right so going to hand ye over to Shane now for his bit…

Sound, Ray! Gutted I missed SON, had a bit going on and then went to see 10cc in the Opera House later with my family.
Hopefully she’ll be back again!

Lots to get through from me again today.
First one of note, the second album from KEELEY – Beautiful Mysterious. We really like KEELEY in the siopa. She has a great dreamy sound.
Here’s a bit about KEELEY and the new album:
“Around the release of Keeley’s debut, Floating Above Everything Else, there was a flurry of press which seemingly continued unabated for months and – to our mystification – seemed to offer no clues as to what, exactly, was going on with this artist or how or why any of it mattered. That album’s label, Dimple Discs, has a roster of predominately Irish (and generally excellent) artists; I suppose in some unconscious way we wrote it off as “I suppose you’ve got to be Irish to get it”. And then we were solicited Keeley’s next album. Well, boy were we wrong! KEELEY is a band led by Keeley Moss, with musicians Lukey Foxtrot and Andrew Paresi, although it’s a tight-knight group who propel the project and it makes no sense not to mention manager Nick Clift and studio genius Alan Maguire, who are also intrinsic members of this outfit. There’s a conceit behind the band’s work. Every song in the band’s full repertoire shares a single subject – Inga Maria Hauser, a teenaged German backpacker found brutally assaulted and dead in a remote part of Ireland’s Ballypatrick Forest in 1988. Moss’s personal interest in the case caused her to create a blog, The Keeley Chronicles, which has reported on the case so doggedly that it’s now viewed as the crucial source of public information on the case. And there’s more to that story, of course. But our point is this: Beautiful Mysterious is that rarest of all jewels, the instant classic. Imagine going back in time to when you heard Fear Of Music, Colossal Youth or Forever Changes for the very first time, knowing what each would mean to you many years later. Don’t miss that chance with Keeley’s incredible Beautiful Mysterious. Well, here’s your chance.”

There will be CD and vinyl available and it’s released October 18th.
We had KEELEY play in the shop a while back.
Here’s a tune from the new record: https://youtu.be/t1KEpUzVILs?si=a3j2lQu16mMZB1VA

THE NATIONAL have a new live album coming out on December 13th called ‘Rome.
There will be a 2 CD, a 2 LP with Poster or a 2 LP white vinyl version.
“

Rome is the definitive live document of The National. Recorded live (without overdubs) on June 3, 2024 at the architecturally stunning venue Parco Della Musica Ennio Morricone, named for the famed Italian film composer, the 21-track LP showcases scintillating versions of beloved songs like “Bloodbuzz Ohio,” “Don’t Swallow the Cap,” “I Need My Girl,” “The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness,” “England” and “Fake Empire”; plus sharpened readings of recent tracks “Eucalyptus,” “New Order T-Shirt,” “Tropic Morning News” and the boundary pushing “Smoke Detector.”

The double album, mixed by longtime collaborator Peter Katis, spans the band’s 20-plus years of songwriting and reveals how each song has taken on a new life in its live performance. “You have to see this band live” is often said about The National, and now, Rome is the next best thing to actually being there.”

A band I like, THE DARKNESS , are back with a new album, ‘Dreams On Toast’.
Saw them live a couple times, great live.
Justin Hawkins Youtube music chat show is well worth a watch.
The LP will be coming out in March 2025.
Here’s a track from it: https://youtu.be/Gm6-ZYvBTVw?si=tzPJTL6HvgOxPSwv
Like it, bit of a Jellyfish sound to it!

And there’s a nice red coloured reissue of the classic album ‘Antics’ by INTERPOL. 20th Anniversary of its release. October 18th also for that.

Here’s a rundown of everything else coming in the next few months:


Here’s Young Adam’s latest video from Instagram: https://musiczone.ie/product/peter-tosh-bush-doctor-red-recycled-vinyl/
