  1. tricky one. I love the books, and really want to support Rey who i have met a couple of times at Dave Lewis' gatherings but I got 4 previous editions sitting in arms reach from my keyboard, alongside various other books on the subject. Might sell a few older editions on the cheap and get the new one.
  2. Hi John, that would be amazing. i have focused on other records the last few years and my go to contacts for boots have stopped trading. Got an Italian connect but that's about it, would be great to have a new UK one. much appeciated.
  3. been trying to track that down with no luck thus far. hope the record fair at the end of the month hits the spot
  4. used the xmas break for some record collection tlc and took the opportunity to line them all up. here are my Zep vinyl boots.
  5. 20k capacity, 9000 pairs in the lottery for 2 tickets each, 2k kept back for the band / sponsors and their guests. that 20m applicants fighting for 9000 pairs was the shitshow it was, wasn't exactly a surprise. You can certainly argue that a show like that should only have the band guests and not corporates but you'll be surprised to see how few tickets of the 20k capacity are available to normal punters for your average O2 show. Not that it helps those who weren't there, but for any other show in the O2 you are probably looking at 10-15k tickets max available to the general public (excluding band allocation, sponsors, and numerous others kept back for channels like phone company customers, fan sales, venue associates etc).
  6. i don't collect anything specific, but got a sizeable collection of books, magazines and bootleg vinyl. topped up with a rare jorgen angel print, a nice big canvas from the 80 tour poster, a 2nd edition of the famous Randy tutten poster with the green avocado, and various other bits and pieces....i go mostly for stuff that i find visually stunning, so that when the day comes and i have a nice big house with a spare room i can create my own little shrine...
  7. my 22 old month daughter walked past my zeppelin gallery, pointed at Jimmy as usual on her way down the stairs, BUT actually said Jimmy Page loud and clear for the first time....well proud, made my day.
  8. just got back from glastonbury (where i had a brilliant time as usual....next up are the black crowes at shepherds bush, and then the atp festival at Ally Pally with Portishead and PJ Harvey amongst many others....
  9. i am off to glastonbury in a few days....can't wait especially looking forward to the old guard....lee scratch perry, bb king, paul simon, but QOTSA was definitely the surprise addition. very not glastonbury to have such a heavy band on, but i am definitely not complaining....now all we need is for the rainclouds to eff off.
  10. my last gig was THAT roger waters gig.....i had a good feeling beforehand that my night would be the one were gilmour would turn up, but to get mason as well was truly awesome. visually definitely the best gig i have ever been to and the sound showed that the O2 itself doesn't contradict great sound. when the helicopter came in the quadrophonic sound was just mindblowing...
