QuoteRockman RECORD COLLECTOR 539 ---- Xmas edition 2022 From the banding it looks more like a 4 track pressing which would be a tad strange.

Younger readers may be interested in the fact that last evening (March 2nd) Ed Sheeran beat his own record for attendance. He played to about 101,000 at the MCG in Melbourne (close to Rockman's back garden?). He'll beat it again tonight with an expected crowd of 107,000. For the record, I don't 'get' Ed Sheeran, but recognise that he's darned popular.

QuoteTaylor1 The circulating tracks from Wembley are great, so a complete Wembley show. Also i think the first Brussels show was better than the second show which they officially released. 1972 and the Pacific Tour is so lacking in any great sounding official releases. I was at the Sunday night show at Wembley. 9th September 1973, cost 2.20pounds. That was the

The truck ended up being looked after in Canada as far as I can recall. The exterior was renovated, but (as far as I know) the recording gear was stripped out.

Neither the posting by midimannz, nor the link, make it clear quite how extraordinary the rain in Auckland was.

I guess I have to point out that this "rumour" of Paul McCartney recording with The Stones is not as absolutely far fetched as everyone seems to think. Here's a well documented example of Paul happening to be in a studio, hearing something by someone else, and volunteering to add something to the track. I would not put it past him to do just that for a Rolling Stones trac
