His 'Four Seasons' CD was murdered by many early players and Flat Earth systems back in the mid 80's, yet fifteen years later when UK systems were returning to some semblance of correctness, the very same CD sample sounded excellent...


I know Lynda Bellingham isn't to do with music, but it's tragic that we've lost her as well. A good actress with a naughty twinkle in her eye in my opinion..

R.I.P. Bernard William Jewry a.k.a. Shane Fenton a.k.a. Alvin Stardust http://www.alvinstardust.com/
I can recommend his Wikipedia page too if you're a musical minutiae fan like me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvin_Stardust

On a positive note, Wilco Johnson has declared himself "free of cancer" today, http://www.independent.co.uk/news/peopl ... 11724.html which is bloody good news in my book.
