My weakness here

I have all the original genesis albums, the definitive edition cds and boxed SACDs and boxed vinyls

Just bought a load of Kate Bush remastered vinyl and cd s to go.with all the vinyl and cds I already have so now got 4 copies of most her stuff. I have 5 copies of Floyd's DSOTM and multiple others. Plus multiple copies of stuff from other bands here and there, including.Hawkwind Bowie, Sabbath and Zep. Oh and all 4 abacab vinyl covers

I keep telling myself not to do it, I don't play them enough to justify it, I know they're rip.off prices and I keep hitting myself with twigs as punishment for this sin.

Just caught up on this

Didn't realise JH died. Very sad..

it certainly seems like it was The Freehold that did it. I was wondering whether it was one of those situations where a mistake was made on some website somewhere and everyone has picked up on that same mistake creating an urban myth. Can't think of other examples but it has happened a lot.

I thought of that but he was very clear when retelling the writing and recording

I also thought that even taking into account health issues the very first song and recording session would be pretty well imprinted into anyone's mind.

Ok, I don't think they ever said "we have officially finished" but I thought that it was pretty clear that the TIOA tour was the farewell they never really had as things just seemed fade away. I don't want them to do anymore shows. Firstly I'd have to go and I don't need the stress of worrying about getting tickets

Secondly I don't mind admitting I had a little tear in my eye at Old Trafford. Having said goodbye it just wouldn't feel right.

I'm reading Phil's autobiography right now and am reading about the first song he ever wrote, LCD, when in a band called Hickory later Flaming Youth.

1. I looked it up, it's out there and it's actually good.

2. Every piece of information about this song has it as recorded by The Freehold, the band he says he left to form Hickory. Nothing at all about Hickory. Sure Phil knows when and how he wrote his first song it's not something you'd get mixed up about, so does anyone know what's going on, why this misinformation is seems so prevalent and unquestioned?
