MARK HOLLIS Crying In The Rain (unreleased) (1979)

This is an unreleased song that was recorded before TALK TALK was even formed - and it already points strongly to where the journey would eventually lead to.
Very touching and vulnerable. A boy of 24 years...

MORRISSEY I Am Not A Dog On A Chain (2020)

Ok, I must admit I was not only prepared for the worst but ready to drop him. To sell all my Mozzer stuff after all those disappointments during the last decade.
I wanted to call the post "MORRISSEY is dead"... But surprisingly he managed to surprise me and to make me say "Sorry" for my ready prepared treachery.
I will from now on loyally stay by his side, defending his legacy. Although I must say the artwork is a bad joke. Bootleg style...
But anyway... Sir this is a great album.
Thank you!
