CAN'T RECALL WHAT MAKE THIS ACOUSTIC GUITAR WAS THAT I OWNED IN THE LATE '60s. IT MADE IT'S WAY ONTO THE 'NORTHERN DREAM' ALBUM. I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AN ARIA. BUT THERE I AM, ALL THOSE YEARS AGO, PLAYING ON A LITTLE HILL THAT WAS PART OF THE LANDSCAPE OF A COAL MINE NEAR LUPSET ESTATE IN WAKEFIELD, NOW LONG GONE.. . THIS IS A PHOTOHRAPH OF MY GIRLFRIEND OF THE 1960'S, LYNNE HOLLIDAY, TAKEN IN THE FRONT GARDEN OF MY PARENT'S HOME AT 37 WOODHOUSE ROAD ON EASTMOOR ESTATE, WHERE WE LIVED AT THAT TIME, (HAVING MOVED FROM CONISTONE CRESCENT.) LYNNE IS HOLDING MY GIBSON 345 GUITAR IN ITS ORIGINAL SUNBURST FINISH AND WITH ITS PICKUP COVERS STILL IN PLACE. ALSO SPORTING ITS ORIGINAL MACHINE HEADS AND BEARING THE 'W. N.' GILT INITIALS ON THE SCRATCH PLATE THAT I'D APPLIED. (THERE ARE STILL MARKS ON THE SCRATCHPLATE TO THIS DAY THAT SHOW WHERE THE INITIALS ORIGINALLT WERE, THANKS TO THE GLUE THAT ATE INTO THE PLASTIC.). LATER, TOWARDS THE END OF THE 1970s, I HAD THE GUITAR REFINISHED IN A CHERRY RED SUNBURST AND REMOVED THE PICKUP COVERS TO EXPOSE THE COILS, A FASHIONABLE THING TO DO AT THAT TIME. BUT I'M PLEASED TO HAVE THIS OLD COLOUR PHOTOGRAPH OF IT IN ITS ORIGINAL STATE. HERE I AM AROUND 1972, PHOTGRAPHED IN THE LIVING ROOM OF 27, ANDERSON STREET, PLUMPTON, WAKEFIELD, THE FIRST HOUSE I EVER OWNED WHEN I WAS MARRIED TO MY FIRST WIFE SHIRLEY. I'M PLAYING A BEAUTIFUL WHITE GIBSON SG CUSTOM, WHICH WASN'T MINE BUT WHICH I'D BORROWED, THOUGH I CAN'T RECALL FROM WHERE. THIS MUST HAVE BEEN RIGHT AT THE VERY START OF PUTTING BE BOP DELUXE TOGETHER. THAT GUITAR WOULD NOW BE WORTH A FORTUNE! HERE I AM, PHOTOGRAPHED AT 'TWILIGHT PROPERTY' IN CLIIFE, NEAR SELBY, THE COTTAGE I BOUGHT WHEN I FIRST MARRIED MY SECOND WIFE JAN. THIS WAS MY ENTIRE GUITAR COLLECTION AT THAT TIME, A FRACTION OF WHAT IT IS NOW, THOUGH MANY OF THE GUITARS IN THIS PHOTO' HAVE LONG GONE.

Happy Mother’s Day..Margaret Jones with her son’s albums

i would love to hear Bill's mix of the Warriors album, been hoping for years that it would see the light of day.........

I have to agree a sonic landscape, always a pleasure to listen too.

Or this one?

I remember when I first saw this photo' it got me a-wondering. David's head looks suspiciously Heroes and Iggy's looks suspiciously Raw Power. The richness of tones and the moody rotogravure make me think Anton Corbijn. Is it a clever, possibly pre-Photoshop collage or the real McCoy, those heads? paul.smith, I turn to you.

A little scary like Penderecki. Is this where George Martin got the ascension idea for “A Day In The Life?”

Thanks for posting that Phil. I'm honoured to be a (small) part of the package. It's a great playlist..😎

The first time I can remember seeing that was on the back cover of Yukihiro Takahashi’s “Neuromatic” (1982).

And used all of Paul Beaver’s patches on Wonderwall Music with without telling him.😉😳 and whole songs on Electronic Sound were Bernie Krause demonstrating the Moog for George and Jackie Lomax in Los Angeles. Also uncredited. 😕 Neat picture. 💗😎 Giving Ringo a whack at it. Here Comes the Sun has some of my all time favorite Moog playing on it.😎💗
