Easybeats // Absolute Anthology
“Touring the U.S. with a bunch of Oz-balls inspired me to dig it out. Great songs, great players and – all blood relations aside – their song St. Louis is the blueprint for AC/DC.”
Van Morrison // Verdon Fleece

The Streets // A Grand Don’t Come For Free
“I love both Streets albums. I find myself communicating in daily life through a series of ‘Oi-oi, give us a tenner’ and ‘Where’s my chips and drinks?’ It wrangles your verbal hooligan, innit?”
