Sad indeed. I really liked that early Yes stuff. I even went out and bought that FLASH LP on the strength of Banks. Unfortunately the LP didn't live up to my expectations. Nevertheless, his passing is still sad news.

More sad news - R.I.P. Clive Burr, the man behind the superb drumming on Iron Maiden's first three albums (Iron Maiden, Killers and Number Of The Beast) :

Not such a surprise though as he had been ill for many years.  The first 2 Maiden albums are by far their best (IMHO!) and Clive was an integral part of that early sound..

Shucks - Clive Burr was a great drummer - am spinning Number of the Beast as I write.

His kit was in the London Hard Rock for a while - after a few ales I was tempted..............................

This had passed me by until now but Hugh McCracken, alumni of both McCartney (Ram) and Lennon (Double Fantasy) amongst many others passed away a few days ago.

Andy Johns.
For this of us who think that the name rings a bell but can't quite place it, he produced Led Zeppelin IV, two albums by Humble Pie, three by Free and Television’s Marquee Moon.

Plus JT's "Stand Up" & Blodwyn Pig's "Ahead Rings Out". After all these years I hadn't made the connection with Glyn Johns. Duh.

Sorry to hear about Sue.  I really need to hear more of her music.  I've seen her name in dispatches so many times.

And she plays that lovely violin in the second half of 'Over the Hill' too... a sad loss.
