RANTS & REFLECTIONS
DOWN PAYMENT – The Kinks & ‘LOW BUDGET’
The Kinks & ‘LOW BUDGET’: Raucous choruses and shout-a-long lines proved ideal for the arenas The Kinks were now playing.
ALL DRESSED UP NOWHERE TO GO – England: The Don Revie era……
All Dressed Up – Nowhere To Go: ENGLAND – The Don Revie era: New kit, plenty of new caps, same old failings;
OVER THE STILLS – Stephen Stills & ‘STILLS’ (1975)

HARVEST FESTIVAL – Neil Young & ‘HARVEST’
In equal measure ‘HARVEST’ is brilliant, becalmed and baffling. Bought by millions it has divided Neil Young fans and the critics for almost fifty years.
