I didn’t know that the sleeve picture of the monk in flames is nothing to do with Cambodia or the songs on the record but is Vietnamese monk Thích Quảng Đức protesting in Saigon against the persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government. 2/3

When I bought Holiday In Cambodia by Dead Kennedys in 1980, I probably didn’t know where Cambodia was and I certainly couldn’t have imagined that decades later I would spend a lot of time there, living there for a while. 1/3

I've been appreciating the talents of Anthony Newley recently and I discovered that my local library has this. It's an old US edition of a song book for The Roar Of The Greasepaint - The Smell Of The Crowd, original price $4. It's a lovely item.

An ice sculpture of a dalek found in Durham today. Just in case anybody is interested.

I suppose that means an EP of 60s TV themes is out of the question. I think you could do a good The Main Chance.

I used to look forward to it coming through the door every week. I forgot about the free gifts. I've got a feeling I got something Kung Fu related.

Since reading Bob's Musty Books pages I have also regretted not keeping more of my childhood books. I just held onto these. I am a fan of most things Roger Moore but I am not sure of the rationale behind the others.
