150 TO DIE FOR



Progessodelic!





UNCUT, MOJO and Record Collector have bee round for a while in North America, but lately a newish one, Classic Rock is beginning to draw some serious looks.
-
Case in point is the current issue, with the feature 150 Albums Ye
Must Hear Before Thou Croak-and you may be surprised at some of the picks- as well as a just stupendous 2010
calendar designed by none other than Storm Thorgerson.
-
If you are not so familiar with Storm, two words: Pink Floyd.
-
And this calendar feature two never published outtakes of albums cover shoots for the Floyd.
-
A very interesting left-over from the Momentary Lapse of Reason
album.
-
And some tasty eye-candy from the SACD Dark Side of the Moon, featuring the familiar prisimed pyramid, but with a different background.
-
Also of note in this special issue is a freebie CD which has remastered versions of classics like Ace Frehley's Fox on the Run,
Mr. Big ripping through Bab O'Riley, and Buckcherry rolling out Highway Star.
-
All in all, a splendid time guaranteed for all.
-
And perhaps a good X-Mas stocking stuffer for the bloke or blokette who has everything but cool music and artists to read about.
-
Not bad for $14.99, mate.
