Here's another one:

Happy Birthday Robert Plant!!

I'm listening to a Public Image Limited compilation - really quite extraordinary music, years ahead of its time.

Is it on cd? If so, which one is it?

Artsnight on BBC2 had a fun interview recently with John being interviewed by Lynn Barber. Still haven't got around to watching his interview with Piers Morgan from a year ago which I recorded.

It's a double CD called Gold.

Thanks! Unusually, not much info on RYM, though it is listed on there. Found more details (track listing) on Discogs.

Do you mean Metal Box? I did have that but the discs were buggered and I couldn't get a good replacement.

I must get them. I used to be in the "business" and was always arguing to get his work featured on stamps.

The Isle of Man were always a bit more adventurous and they had the money to pay unlike my ramshackle company.

I did mean Plastic Box. It's a 4 disc compilation from the late 90s or early 00s that also features some interesting alternate versions (bbc sessions and stuff like that) of some of the songs.

I do have Metal Box as well. I ordered the tin box edition from a Finnish online store some years ago. It cost me a lot but it was worth it

Do you have a stamps collection or will you just put the Dean stamps into a frame?

I've just ordered the Presentation Pack, First Day Cover and the Cards.

No I don't have a collection as such. Just get odd things like I bought the British Album Covers pack a few years ago.

Keith Moon would have been 70 years old today.
