GREENSLADE – Temple Songs: The Albums 1973-75 (Esoteric / Cherry Red)
You can still put these records on and disappear back to a simpler time of longer hair, wider trousers, three TV channels and, of course, strangely alluring album covers left in school classrooms. It's marvellously evocative stuff... Ah, Greenslade. The name still stirs memories of first encountering the band in 1973, as a callow 12-year-old,..

THAT JOE PAYNE – By Name By Nature Tour (CD/DVD)
[Joe's] lyrics are intensely personal much of the time, and there are occasions in certain songs when he unloads his painful emotions like a cathartic cleansing, but you are never too far away from him making a point with a wink and a nod rather than a furrowed brow.
