Abbey road is number 1 in the UK.

Its a great album and I remember its release well in 69.

There was stiff competition tho from the Who,Stones,Santana,Frank Zappa,Led Zeppelin and of course the ground breaking King Crimson and the Court of the Crimson King......god we were spoilt for music.To be honest,the Beatles had come to the end

Ginger Baker passed away.

Yep.I was expecting it since he was hospitalized.

End of an era with Jack already gone.Cream were awesome but he continued to contribute.Absolute nutter.Eric remains.

Fender europe were fined for price fixing recently. Fender ZA gets its range via Fender Europe so hoping Fender pricing been revised in ZA. When i was there an american strat retailed for like 34k , although after discount lower 20's.

Wow, What a nice guitar. That's is exactly what I'd want. Such a beautiful colour. A mate of mine has a Mexican in exactly that colour with the maple neck. Now he bought an American  (Sunburst  :mellow: ). So i'm waiting for him to part with the Mexican but he decided to keep it for his 8 year old  :wacko:

Pricing structure on guitars are very fishy. Sticker price was just insane, way over overseas prices. After some haggling I ended up paying just about the recommended $ price. But I bought straight from the importer.

So last week I was looking at some guitar upgrade accessories on Amazon. Took a chance and order a few things, prices were ridiculously cheap, about a third of local retail. I had no hope of it arriving anytime this year. But this morning Aramex dropped it off. 7 days straight from the US. Quicker than most SA retailers.

Hawkwind were good but they had a special guest who pretty much played the entire set. None other than drumroll Mr Eric Clapton.

 

Turns out ole Eric lives pretty close to me. Should pop over for tea
