CLASSIC POP MAGAZINE

Hello and welcome back... Every now and again, i feel the need to shout about something from the rooftops, this time its about an amazing read... 'Classic Pop Magazine'

Back in the 80s, in Australia, we had two magazines that i would buy religiously for news about my fav bands, posters, and lyrics.
Those two magazine's were 'Smash Hits' and 'Countdown'

Sadly, fast forward into the future, those magazine's are no longer... But one similar magazine is..

'CLASSIC POP MAGAZINE'


Classic Pop magazine is Printed in the U.K from Anthem Publishing.

The magazine covers 80s & 90s Music, News, Exclusive Photos & Interviews, Album Reviews (both Old & New) and heaps more.

The layout is easy to read and is available in Print (I love holding it in my hands) and Electronic form (IPad, Computer, etc, etc)

But I'm not in the U.K, ??  I hear you ask..

No Worries, they can post to your door (i love the smell of fresh print in the morning) OR you can download to your electronic device (there's an app for that)... See links

For posting to your location, I highly recommend ordering directly from Anthem Publishing for trouble free delivery, it will save both time and money dealing directly from the publishers (From a Personal Experience)

Considering there is nothing like this in Australia anymore, its a bonus to have such a wonderful magazine available.

10/10

D3VO - PIONEERS WHO GOT SCALPED (The Anthology)

Hello and welcome back... Smashing album with a fuzzy cover.

Released in the year 2000 (no bugs here), 'Pioneers Who Got Scalped' is a twin remastered CD, Best Of, from U.S band 'Devo'

The CD cover of this album is a 3D front that changes picture when you turn it, with little axe's flinging towards band members heads (or just above).. interesting.

This is a brilliant album to add to one's collection, sounds amazing and covers just about all tracks released by Devo.

G3NESIS - G3NESIS

Hello and welcome back... I Love this album

Released in 1983, the 12th album by U.K powerhouse band 'Genesis' , the album by the same name shot to #1 (U.K music charts) and spawned the huge hit 'Mama'

For those that don't know, the song 'Mama' (track 1) is what started the whole '80s Gated Reverb Drum Sound' which was found by accident while messing around with a Linn Drum Machine (LM-1). (thank you Mr Rutherford)

Mike Rutherford fed the Drum Machine through a a amplifier and Reverb, turned it up so loud, to the point, amplifiers were jumping off the floor.... The rest, as they say, is history.

This album is probably my second favorite Genesis album behind 'Invisible Touch'.

Five singles were released on this mammoth album inc 'That's All' (#2 Canada), 'Home by the Sea', 'Illegal Alien' (#41 Canada), 'Taking it all too Hard' (#11 U.S) and 'Mama' (#2 Sweden)




TRACK LISTING 
1. Mama (6:47)
2. That's All (4:24)
3. Home By The Sea (5:07)
4. Second Home By The Sea (6:08)
5. Illegal Alien (5:13)
6. Takin' It All Too Hard (3:56)
7. Just A Job To Do (4:46)
8. Silver Rainbow (4:28)
9. It's Gonna Get Better (5:00)

Note = Being a 1984 CD, the sound volume is a bit soft in parts but sounds amazing.
