A fabulous collection it took me a while to gather together all the LPs. I also bought the CD box set with its great booklet - very good value. The first 4 releases will be 50 years old this December!

Here’s his grave at St Katharine’s Church at Felton near where he lived at Lulsgate, Bristol. He was the first world championship driver to die, just a couple of months after the first race. He crashed while at the wheel of this Freikaiserwagen showing the family name Fry on the grill.

Will be indulging in a Belgian Trappist beer weekend to celebrate my birthday and the F1 at the magnificent Spa circuit! #Spa #Trappist

Tragic but understandable as this is a 14 mile long circuit. Do we know how far he travelled on the Nordschleife before his fateful mistake?

Out of the Blue is a stand out track. I suspect the drum roadie was worried that Paul Thompson would break all the heads/skins!

Unsurprisingly he had engine issues in this 110 lap race. He also wrote this book on Olympic Coins!

There’s never a bad time to have a pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord but a sunny afternoon at the Swan in Needham Market is up there with the good times. #TimothyTaylor #Swan

Recorded 9th May 1975 Discreet Music is now 50 years old and probably represents the beginnings of ambient music as it’s known today. #BrianEno #DiscreetMusic

Tony Benn was born 100 years ago today. A hero of mine, he was steeped in the English radical tradition while maintaining an internationalist outlook. As we struggle to defend democracy against those who seek to avoid accountability, his five questions to ask the powerful are worth remembering

For what it’s worth I just finished reading your “All I Want Is Out Of Here” book at lunchtime today & very good it is too! Recommended
