Review: This multi-volume series captures various different parts of one of the many seminal gigs that UK indie sad-sacks The Cure played around the world. In particular, this captures the action from a legendary night in Leipzig, Germany. Much like the first two volumes, the third is a brilliantly well received album that is alive with energy and the rawness of the gig but never at the expense of any of the frets of melodies. From 'In Your House' to original classics like '10:15 Saturday Night' and the enduring favourite 'Boys Don't Cry', this is a great record of a great band in great form.

Review: There has still never been anything quite like a live show by Parliament/Funkadelic. When the p-funk heroes took the stage, they did so in wildly colourful and eccentric the costumes, with bold stagecraft and often more than a dozen musicians all doing their do. Their brand of Afro-futurisms was way ahead of the curve and this so called "coming of the Mothership" happened in a 1977 live concert that is captured on vinyl. It was one night of the gem changing P.Funk Earth Tour and was a real spectacle for the sense. Relive it as often as you like now with the full experience sure to get you up off your ass

Review: 76 High Street in Burton On Trent is, today, a pizza joint. Back in 1976, though, and throughout that decade and most of the following one, it was a hub of musical activity that hosted some of the greatest bands of the time. We're talking AC/DC, Dire Straits, Motorhead, Skid Row, Judas Priest, Suzi Quatro, Thin Lizzy and Ultravox. To name but a few.

More astute readers will have clocked that they can add The Sex Pistols to that list. The seminal punk outfit even opted to record their famous live album, Anarchy In the UK: Live at the 76 Club, at the address. Now we have this new edition of the record, which has lost none of its teeth clenched, anti-establishmentarianism, revolutionary feeling of the original. Simply put, this is what guitar music should sound like on stage - ferocious, unforgiving, and with the momentum of youth hell-bent on rejecting tradition.

Review: While Morrissey's outlandish opinions these days might have done plenty to denigrate his own personal legend status amongst fans, what he did with The Smiths will live in musical history forever. A Charming Man In Amsterdam is a concert that was arranged in order to mark the 50th anniversary of a Dutch magazine, Vinyl (imagine that happening today!). It was the iconinc Manchester band's first ever show in the Netherlands and they serve up a set revolving around their eponymous debut album and early singles, with 'Miserable Lie', 'I Don't Owe You Anything' and 'These Things Take Time' sounding particularly grand.
