cheers,luckily i builded the cadre of my collection before i got addicted to denim and workwear,so i am able to pick gems like the Dadawah record from the massive output of re-releases.Trojan did released some CDs which where too good to let them pass(before they were bought by Universal),but i am mostly vinyl.the occasional must-have original situation appears from time to time,though.

Trojan have by far the best back catalogue for historical reasons, but to me a lot of their reissues could be done better.

I'm pissed off that blood and Fire are out of business. Their remastering and liner notes were next-level. They were getting the Basic Channel guys at Dubplates and Mastering in Berlin to remaster the tunes on a modified Nuemann vinyl cutting lathe they have there, and the results killed, everytime.....especially on a big sound system. Bass-quake !

Also, the artists got paid....often for the first time.

you are well informed!shame about B&F,i believe they went too enthusiastic with all the great coverdesigns and vinyl issues,just think of the awesome Yabby You box!

I like how Pressure Sounds developed in the last years.

as you can imagine,the jeans were in the need for a wash badly.provident as i am i went to the drugstore yesterday to buy some detergent.

couldnt decide which one to buy,so i took them all and mixed a nice blend out of them.setted the machine on 90°C/F200 at full spincycle.

I am really happy with the result,i am sure you will all agree.

amazing what you can achieve with hard wear and the right detergent in a couple of weeks.

stunning! your work on this tour has been nothing short of majestical. you live in a majestical city and have done incredibleness, i'm making up words at this point because i am speechless. bravo!

thanks a lot! this coming from you means something special for me-in all honesty.

cheers Finn!

and now say goodbye to Hamburg and welcome London in a week or so:

i really like how the frontpockets are faded through.i must admit that the fly shrunk a huge amount and the bottom stretched quite a bit,but thats the price you pay for clean pants,right?!

LOL wish i could rep you Markus GREAT PHOTOS!

A great month of tour updates from the Hamburg humbug and what a splendid finale! A tough act for Paul T to follow. However I'm sure he's up for the challenge and I also happen to know that he is 1231st cousin (twice removed) from the Queen, so we can expect some right royal updates.

These two need to be singled out IMO. Such great portraits. You really made that G10 work!

cheers Maynard.humbug,hmm...i will take that as a compliment.:P
