Album Of The Day! Doll By Doll-Gypsy Blood (1979)

Doll by Doll were a fabulous group from Scotland, who emerged from the UK post-punk scene. Their 1979 debut album "Remember" drew critical raves in their native UK. Even better was the group's second album "Gypsy Blood" (Automatic 1979.) This was a world class set, that featured the group's incredible lead singer Jackie Leven (truly one of rock music's greatest ever singers.) The material was also stellar, being a mixture of eerie ballads, and slightly psychedelic pop songs. Most definitely in the Teardrop Explodes/Scott Walker area. Key tracks include: Highland Rain, The Human Face, Hell Games, Forbidden Worlds and Stripshow. The vinyl LP copy was quite scarce, but it has recently seen a CD release, so you have no excuses. Fans of John Cale, The Triffids, Nick Cave and the Tindersticks will eat Gypsy Blood for dinner. Rating 10/10

Boston's Ellsbury Should Be AL MVP!

While I'm certainly not slighting the great year Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander had, I still think Boston's Jacoby Ellsbury should have been the MVP. Ellsbury had a Ricky Henderson type year, domination the game in every facet!

Coming December 10 New 45 by John Fallon of The Steppes

I am pleased to announce the release of the debut solo by John Fallon (former singer-guitarist with The Steppes.) Available as a 7" 45 with PS, it couples "Picture Yourself Today" & "Theme For Steve McQueen" on my own St. Albans label. Check back for ordering info!

Urge Overkill-Rock & Roll Submarine (2011)

The mighty Urge return from the dead with a fabulous new record, that is better than one could have hoped for. It's their first since 1995's great but overlooked "Exit The Dragon," "Rock & Roll Submarine" kicks face right out of the gate with "Mason/Dixon", and the juice just keeps flowing after that. "Effigy" is another firecracker, as is "End Of Story" (all three King Roeser numbers.) National Kato also supplies the cool "Thought Balloon" and "She's My Ride." There really isn't a bum track to be found. Let's hope it sells, so they have the bread to give us another album. Buy this thing already, UO are too good to lose again!
