@Bill Nelson I couldn't agree more. Streaming services treat artists atrociously. As Bill stated, payments to artists are abysmal.

I totally agree, about the quiet charm. It was a wonderful surprise when I got my copy 'Quit Dreaming', way back in '81.

I have all of the magazines but would probably be interested in some of the other items. Especially the badges. If it's possible to get a list or a photo of them, that would be brilliant. My e-mail is the-edge@rusted-wire.info.

What wonderful news. 😊

Can't wait to hear these. 😁❤

A Channel Light Vessel boxset would be nice and a duet with Bill Frisell might be of interest as well. I was curious about the MJ reference, as being Canadian I immediately thought of Michael Jordan and the Michael Jackson. Never dawned on me it was Mick Jagger. 😁

I hate when I can't pre-order stuff... 🤔🙄😁

@David K. Thanks for letting me know. Really appreciated.

Ordered a copy. It looks like it will be amazing.

Wonderful news, Bill. I hope all keeps going on the uptick.

Best wishes for a quick and healthy recovery.

@David K. That would be wonderful. Thanks.

@David K. I should have been more clear. I meant they weren't available right now. (I'm too eager, I guess) I will take a look at the two when they're both available as paperbacks. Just unfortunate the Be Bop Deluxe chapter won't be included. :-(

I always enjoyed Trouser Press. Especially Mick Farren's pieces. Always had a good sense of humour. I wish both of the volumes were available as paperbacks.

Thanks so much Bill. Always enjoy the Christmas videos & music. Have a wonderful festive season.

You've spoiled the original. After watching this, the original video of "The Aloof" just isn't that good anymore. 😁😎

This is really excellent. I keep coming back to it.

Had 25 copies of the Canadian white vinyl version of 'Drastic Plastic'. The manager of a local record shop and I split the overstock. They didn't sell very well, originally. Never understood the poor sales. It's such a great album. Gave away the last copy a couple of years back. 😊

Do you know if there's any differences between the original & re-issue of the 'Sunburst Finish' box sets?
