The full clip IS somewhat better. Still not exactly essential listening but definitely better. Of course the source recording is understandably of low audio quality whcih does not help. And why stick that instrumental coda at the end? Messy!

That is one heck of a workload for three guys with an average age of over seventy nine years. I know they have d

Hackney Diamonds is back at No.1 on the mid-week UK Album Chart. However it does not yet qualify as an official No.1 charting position. That is reserved for the full week chart released at 17.45 hours UK time every Friday. Nonetheless it is a very strong indication that it will indeed be at the chart summit this Friday. No doubt helped get there by the surge in sales created by the release o
