    Probably some truth in that, there certainly seems to be a glut of some vehicles on the market; traders seem swimming in SR Green Mk1 FOs, for example. RFOs are even worse, to be honest I can't see the logic behind making that coach at all in the absence of the kitchen cars they commonly ran with (i.e not RUs)

    Can we have another run of the Mk1 FK in blue/grey to go with the NGS Carflats? And the Mk2a BFK, which was actually more common that the BSO.

    Ade Edmondson and The Bad Shepherds - The Model (Kraftwerk) Featuring Troy Donockley (now a member of Nightwish) on Uilleann pipes

    Rainbow - Mistreated (Deep Purple) I know it's a case of Ritchie Blacknore playing a song from his old band, but I think it counts because of the way Ronnie Dio takes the song and makes it his.

    Panic Room - Bitches Crystal (ELP) Completely rebuilds the song from the ground up with a totally different arrangement. Turisas - Rasputin (Boney M) The arrangement is actually very close to the original, just with louder guitars and drums, and a different vocal style. Many disco standards just *work* as metal songs. Gimme Gimme Gimme - Yngwie Malmsteen (ABBA) It's also better than any of Yngwie's own songs, and proves Bjorn and Benny are far, far better songwriters than he is.

    Unearthed Elf - Into The Catacomb Abyss There are songs called "Vial Of Holy Water Found In An Ancient, Cobweb-Laden Mausoleum", "Lighting The Mummy On Fire" and "Lair of the Beholder". This inspiration for this album is rather obvious....

    Do wonder about the logic behind the "half-and-half" approach here;refurbishing half the fleet and scrapping & replacing the other half. Is it purely because replacing the entire fleet needs more capital than is available, or does it represent a change of course after the bean-counters crunched the numbers and concluded refurbishment wasn't as cost-effective as first thought?

    22 years is also close to the average live of the class 25s, the 40s, the 50s, and the majority of locomotive-hauled Mk1 and Mk2 coaches.

    I would have expected the set to run ECS to the depot for formal decomissioning rather than head straight to the scrapyard from its last revenue-earning run. Is there any precedent for something like this?

    22 years is about the same as the Deltics. And for much the same reason, complex machines built for a specific purpose and unsuitable for anything else, and technology had moved on.

    Saw Gazpacho live last year with Iamthemorning supporting them. Amazing gig that was more of a co-headliner.

    I remember people used to compare Mostly Autumn with Rennaisance to the point of accusiing them of being a pastiche. Not at all accurate, but you can hear a bit of Rennaisance in Mother Nature and especially The Gap is Too Wide.

    An Endless Sporadic - Magic Machine. Instrumental Prog/Jazz-Fusion with occasional diversions into metal, oompah music and spaghetti western soundtracks. It's a seriously bonkers record.
  23. Tim H
    With Doris Brendel as the support, I think?

    I said a few words about Space Elevator in my review http://www.kalyr.com/weblog/music/live-reviews/2016-cambridge-rock-festival-part-three/
