VINTAGE ROCK magazine have done Brian and his archive proud with a five page feature in their current October 2024 cover dated issue (71). I can normally buy this in a couple of outlets here in Sheffield but they have both sold out this time (who knew The Stray Cats – the cover stars – were so popular?!), so in the end we ordered it off the magazine’s own online shop. The focus here is very much on the photographs and Brian’s own story, and it’s nice to see him getting this recognition. We anticipate physical copies of his amazing blues photo book Boom Boom Boom Boom will be available during November.

We see quite a few nice comments on social media but this one tickled us today. Somebody bought The Art Of The Bizarre Vinyl Sleeve for relatives in Australia, and got this nice message back! The only problem now is what can Mum find to top this next year?

And April 1st saw The Sun devote most a page to a selection of sleeves from the book, which given the date must really have confused readers who probably thought they were all spoofs! However we did have a smile at their headline, which went “Hex and Rugs and Rock and Roll” alongside appropriate covers. Happily we got a PDF sent, so didn’t actually have to part with money for a copy.
