The Price of Vinyl is Killing the Joy of Collecting In this video I explore the inconsistent and often eye-watering pricing of vinyl albums. From iconic reissues to back-catalog gems, I discuss how the current trends affect collectors and why the industry needs to listen to fans.

For me, T-Rex was the bridge between pop singles and the “grown-up” world of Zeppelin and Sabbath. Listening to these tracks now reminds me of the sheer joy of hearing them for the first time on the radio or watching Bolan’s electric presence on Top of the Pops. Phil

Jethro Tull : Thick As A Brick : 1972 Having played the 1972 original mix yesterday today I went for the 1997 remaster and and then the Steven Wilson Remix. Now I’m enjoying the 5.1 surround version! Totally immersive, like sitting in the middle of the room as they play around you.

Like Phil, no time for the hate stuff. TBH there is little enough time for what I love, and that’s my focus 💯 Plenty of things I don’t like, but I have no time to spend dwelling on that.

Saturday’s has always been about visiting record shops. However before dedicated shops like Virgin appeared every high street store seemed to sell records. I remember buying singles and albums from Woolworths, WH Smith’s, Boots The Chemist, John Menzies and The Midland Educational. #recordshops

Mogg’s Motel is everything you’d hope for from Phil Mogg and more. It’s raw, authentic, and filled with brilliant storytelling and top-tier musicianship. Whether you’re a longtime UFO fan or new to Phil’s music, this is an album that deserves a place in your collection.

This is the light in the darkness to illuminate the world beyond the news. Guitar Riffs, and chords crafted to carry lyrics that will touch the most jaded hearts. Backed with the voices from the gods themselves. This is theatrical rock where you the listener are in the front row. 10/10 Phil
