It Looks As If: the new Motorhead Collector's Guide has been accepted in preference to the old and previously much sought after, 1993 edition.
On Amazon.co.uk., there are 4 copies, ranging from £64.94, to a crazy £447.59.
Dream on!
I think that these prices are going to have to be adjusted, to something more realistic.

Gradually Kindling: some of my back catalogue bibliography as the opportunity to do so, for free, has been offered by Amazon.

Only available as Kindle downloads, the long out-of-print 'Motorheadbangers Diary Of The Fans' will be added at a later date.
They are also available on Amazon.com and Amazon.de

'Tomorrow Never Knows' - from The Pink Fairies 'Live In Finland' -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5bzk3Pa-hg
In these troubled times, an apt title, perhaps. Great hearing a well overdriven and distorted Gibson SG tearing into this song, rather like a latter-day 'Star Spangled Banner.' (Star Bangled Spanner).
It should be played at Max Volume, and I recommend the whole album.

Motorhead the Babylon Book: Wow! Someone is being rather optimistic (or greedy) with the price here. £150-00?

Fanzine #91 Arriving: The Post Offices here in the UK, and in Europe, have done their bit by delivering most of the fanzines yesterday.
The 'Rest of the World' (Planet) will take a few days longer, but the mail still travels pretty fast.
Being the Wurzel Tribute issue, it was kind of rock photographer, George Chin, to offer the front cover shot as his tribute. The photo on page 2 was taken the first time I met Wurzel, Phil Campbell, and Pete Gill; when they were rehearsing and writing for their 'No Remorse' album, and 'May-hem-day' Hammersmith Odeon vinyl and live debuts.

Internet problems / repairs / work (?) in this area of Bournemouth has meant I haven't posted much on here this week. But also, with Mrs B and our son on a weeks holiday, I am having a bit of a break, too.
