Thank you for publishing the interview with me in RC 471. However, the company releasing Clayson & The Argonauts’ This Cannot Go On is Rush Music. See www.rushmusic.co.uk. Alan Clayson, by email

One of the joys of opening RC each month is to discover features on obscure/lost albums or artists who never get recognition otherwise. I’ve contributed to Vinyl Fetish on a few occasions in the past and always enjoy other writers’ pieces.
It’s a mystery how David Quantick can fill a column on live albums (RC 479) but not mention The Who. Live At Leeds has been the critics’ top pick since it first bashed eardrums back in 1970, and there are numerous other concert releases that prove no one else comes close. Me, I prefer Live At Hull, possibly because I live there.
In your eBay-O-Meter column
(RC378), under the
entry at number seven for
Human Beast’s Volume

answer the question:

on that particular piece of vinyl (above), I
can tell you that it is a vile recording, allegedly
intended, not as a ‘real&rs…
I finally bought the long overdue
Kinks six CD box set covering
their whole career, only
to discover that if Ray Davies
has been involved in the
project, he may not have
been able to oversee it very
closely. The first three discs,
fortunately, are devoted to the
Pye period (1963-1971) but
some weird choices have
been made. I wonder why…
