… albums by Duffy, Frankie, ABC and the Darkness that “died like a louse in a Russian's beard”


… another cover that’s better than the Beatles’ original


… Hal Blaine, the Knack, Joe Meek and the Stones Roses


… why Ozzy Osbourne is ‘the Norman Wisdom of Crime’


… and Tuppy Glossop, Bingo Little, ‘Catsmeat’ Potter-Pirbright and Freddie & the Nutters.
