| Popped into our local Blackwells bookshop at lunchtime and found them selling a heap of different short books under the series header 33 1/3. for 2 quid (reduced from 7 pounds sterling (or 10 US)). Each of these books tells the story behind the making of a famous album, currently reading The Piper At The Gate Of Dawn, and a real bargain at 2 quid - although I won't have touched it at its original price. Have also The Kinks Village Preservation Society, Velvet Underground & Nico, Electric Ladyland, Ok Computer. Andf if they were available I would have had Forever Changes and Grace - Aqualung is there too. BTW anybody else in the UK near a Blackwells, maybe they would like to see if they could nail down Grace and Forever Changes for me........ some form of reciprocation could be arranged. |

During my stay in London during this WE, I plan to head out to Helter Skelter bookshop. I heard this has everything available in stock. Maybe I will find them there. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

| Blackwells Bookshop locally have gone berserk and reduced these excellent little books to one pound sterling each - and now bought another half dozen, admittedly I wouldn't have bought at full price. Half way through Electric Ladyland (research for tonight's radio show) and impressed by the author's (John Perry) research, knowledge, enthusiasm and skills at telling a story |

Last We in London , I picked up at Foykles the Electric Ladyland and Aqualung books for 5 pounds each. I have no idea when I will have time for them. I should plan a week sickleave and get stuck in bed, to catch up on my reading. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
