Trax on Wax looks amazing and brings back so many memories of great record shops. I have mentioned this before but I live in an area of the UK called County Durham. As a teenager I think I had access to at least 11 record shops. They are all gone now. First the tiny independent shops went but what really did the damage was the demise of the chains. I relied on their departments and even they used to put a varied stock out. Considering we have a university town a few miles away not having a store in the entire county is staggering. I still cannot get my head around seeing CD's in a supermarket next to the canned goods; and even then their is not much to choose from. Some of my happiest memories is wondering as a teen with my mates from record shop to shop looking to see what they had and coming home on a bus excited to listen to the new vinyl I had purchased. On a side note how on earth did the label's not keep control of their assets (the music itself). The new distribution methods seems to dominate the labels. I am possible too old to understand the new digital world but it seemed catch the industry totally off guard.

Because previous postings failed to appear online properly here are some of the tracks I have been listening to recently. I found this through one of the free sample EP's you used to get in the UK music papers in the 1980's Kraftwork but not as you know them. Wonderful live heavy rock.

Thank you for posting they are so cool.

How this band never went global is beyond me.

Thank you for the advice. Simply changing from IE to Chrome sorted the issue out. Much appreciated.

Right using the advice a Mr Willoughby gave me lets see if this works. Looks like we have lift off.

Thank you for posting these wonderful images; oddly melancholic in some of them . Never seen a Range rover with such an unusual paintjob on it. Any idea where the stage shots are from.

Thanks for the information on the stage pic.

What year is that from.

Is that the image of Robert in the stripped suit.

Well if I was not in a bad mood after Lemmy and Bowie passing Alan Rickman has also died of Cancer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbpMpRq6DV4

I am old enough to recall Abba winning Eurovision. I have always wondered if their paths crossing with Zeppelin had had some impact on them. One of my favourite Abba tracks and I just wonder if it is just me or late period LZ is there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1hK8CWlYcA

I still cannot get my head around the fact he has passed. RIP Bowie.

Its a gorgeous bike. Stopped making that brand in 1966. Could be a 1940's model or older from the style of it.
