There once was a time when the 45rpm vinyl single was king and as a consequence record labels used to put a lot of effort into the artwork that adorned their generic, factory sleeves.
Record Envelope is a website that is attempting to bring them all together and stick ‘em online in the one place, allowing the likes of you and I to gawp at them.
It is, as their banner suggests, a little library of factory sleeves, which is a nice thing.
So, if you’ve got a sleeve that’s not in their growing and lovingly displayed online collection then I’m sure they’d love to hear from you.… Read the rest

We’ve recently engaged the services of Jake Dubber, a very talented young man indeed, who will be looking after the back-end and general design of the site.
He’ll be making some changes to the look and feel of this place, so things might look a bit strange for a while before he settles on something we all like.
His first task, however, will be to unravel the massive ball of string that is the mess we’ve made of things on the server. Once he’s done that, and providing we haven’t gone to jail for using… Read the rest

It’s almost the end of 2008 and End-of-Year lists will be popping up all over the interweb, so here’s me adding mine to the growing online pile
Mine is a random mixture, shown in no particular order, of some of the cool/weird things that happened to me in 2008. It also has some of the things the band got up to, some of the music I happened to like and also just a little bit about some of the interweb doohickeys that caught my eye.
Here goes…..

This is nice…and a bit scary.
It’s from LP Cover Lover, a site that celebrates ”the weird and wonderful world of record covers from the golden age of LPs”.
There are lots more to gawp at on the site itself, or you can subscribe to their feed and have new sleeves delivered regularly.
Enjoy

Having finally figured out how to use the fabulous if somewhat cumbersome Lightbox application, I’ve given the Friends of the Stars photo page a makeover.

Happy viewing!

Howdy,
Here are some recent photos, including one of the lesser spotted Executive Producer Robson in what can only be described as a coquettish pose. Hang on to your hats, kids
