Today marks 55 years since The Mighty Quo's third LP 'Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon'. Their first step away from psychedelic pop and into blues and boogie wonderland. The closing track, nearly 10 mins on the LP, is here extended to a whopping 27 mins! 'Rockin' All Over The World' it is not.

Just had an enjoyable hour or so in the company of Stuart Maconie at his talk in Liddypool to launch his fab and gear new Beatles book. Had a nice little chat afterwards and commended the lad for playing Hawkwind on his Freak Zone show. More, I say!

Sad news about Brian Wilson, by the way. Best backing singer Status Quo Lite ever had.

Oh, and a musical genius. RIP Brian.
