In case anyone's interested there's a great record shop - The Book & Record Bar - in South London (right by West Norwood Station) which I visited today.

You can also get a cup of coffee and various snacks. They also have gigs and have an events licence. Jazz and rock selection is average, but folk, blues, psych and reggae are all...

Is the title of Bruce's latest offering just a premonition for his sales? I heard the first 4-5 tracks unexpectedly while I was in a record shop today and it was instantly recognizable as late 70's early 80's Bruce....

And I hear the same in...
