Englishman in Tokyo, originally from Reading, Berks (home of the Reading Rock festival). Best gigs: Whitesnake at Reading Rock 1980 and AC/DC at the Hammersmith Odeon 1980. 1980 is my year zero for LPs and gigs, never bettered!
"Waysted-Tyketto-Solo. Always had a great voice. Lyrics are a bit earnest, a bit "I'd die for you", but no arguing with the quality of the songs or musicianship. What's with the piddly cover-art eMusic?" less
"Jess, Jess, where you been? One of the most underrated British singers ever plays it dirty, play it class once again. Far more rocky than some of his solo stuff. More like the Jess Roden Band albums. Which suits this old rocker just fine. And there's me thinking he'd probably mellowed with age." less
"My first MM album. Never really picked up on them before. This is good! Hawkwind via Kyuss thru' Steppenwolf a la Black Sabbath. A real discovery. Shall definitely be downloading more MM." less
"Robin hasn't got the strongest of voices (he handles all vocals here). But how do you follow one of the all-time greats in Jimmy Dewar? Current (and past) vocalist Davey Pattison is no slouch either. Tasty guitar work goes without saying. The master gurner is one of the all-time greats. Has Robin ever put out a bad album? (Answer is no by the way.) Shite cover, mind!" less
"Not as good as Mouthful Of Love; lacks that pure adrenaline rush, but, having last heard that they'd split up, this was a real surprise. Their second best album so far! It's good, really!" less
