My quest :oops: for the delux CD came to an end with a purchase in HMV Liverpool. No glue issues I'm pleased to report. The extra £10 got me 3 more tracks and a booklet in a font I can read, so I'm very pleased with myself. Lack super stereo so the this format fits fine with my cd player in the kitc...

Crikey - 105 - to quote Aretha : "R-E-S-P-E-C-T"

Hey no worries at this end, the chance to name check one of my favourite tracks from one of my favourite albums was too good to miss :oops: All good here if you ignore my complete lack of physical Wise Up Ghost action - read my account in the Countdown tread and weep. All the best Colin Top Balcony

This tread has been a joy - thanks everyone What's not a joy is my Wise Up Ghost purchasing experience. Despite UK release today I'm still on Countdown. Last week HMV Liverpool said they would be stocking today the vinyl and de-luxe CD both @£19.99. Willing to forgo the cheaper internet options, I a...

What was your view of Almost Blue in the Balcony like?

“oh I just don’t know where to begin…” What a great night. I’d been studiously ignoring all the other gig threads so that I could keep my shock and awe intact. Way different from last year’s Empire gig. Local highlights included a geography / history lesson of the Wirral ( “rock’n’roll started in Me...

Hi John The Phil website has some parking ideas - but they preface with "Parking around Liverpool can sometimes be challenging" - this is an understatement - map here : http://www.liverpoolphil.com/256/how-to-find-us/where-to-park.html Few eating ideas, sadly the Everyman Bistro is being r...

If anyone wants to join me before curtain up I'll be in the Fly in the Loaf from 6.15-6.30. The horribly named Fly is a great bar approx 200 yards away from the Phil (http://www.flyintheloaf.co.uk/) I'll be wearing my Brutal Youth t-shirt and a look of barely-able-to-contain-my-excitement. Anyone co...
