Looks like we’re not ending the year empty handed 🙌 Seriously though we’re honored to receive this from Billboard Music Awards. These awards are given out based on statistics, so we’re very thankful to all our fans who stream our music and sell out our shows for supporting us so much. We’re lucky to be here.

My fave Music Mag. Check it out music lovers.

Mr L📻
Record Collector Magazine

Welcome to the Christmas 2024 issue of Record Collector ( #565), 164-page bumper edition, w/2025 calendar - in shops now or available here: shop.recordcollectormag.com

This month, the cover star isPaul McCartney . Looking wacky and fun. Holding a pair of green eyes, removed from their sockets. Photographed sometime in the 60s when he was in a band you may have heard of called The Beatles. It captures him in a mischievous mood, even an experimental one, which suits the gist of the article: namely, that Paul was the ‘weird’ Beatle, the playful, adventurous one, the one likeliest to push the envelope and take the Fabs into uncharted musical areas. JR Moores, author of a new book on McCartney’s exploits in the 90s, argues in our cover feature that Paul’s penchant for the outré and ‘strange’ reaches way back to the mid-60s and continues to this day.

Elsewhere, David Essex is grilled by Bob Stanley in the RC Interview hot seat. Ian Shirley explores artist-producer-collaborator Brian Eno’s 50 ‘Greatest Hits’. We mark the passing of Steve Harley in 2024 with a reminder of his greatness, especially circa Cockney Rebel. Kris Needs speaks to sole survivor Irmin Schmidt about Can’s greatness, especially live. Continuing our ‘city singles’ series, prompted by RC’s 45th anniversary, Jeremy Allen picks 45 of the best 45s made by Bristol bands and singers. Jack Watkins hails Bob Wills the King of Western Swing. Charles Donovan meets 70s rock goddesses, F***y. And we ask: who’s afraid of The Art Of Noise at 40?

Our various sections are fit to burst with exciting vinyl content. In News, we hear how retailers WHSmith are to sell vinyl for the first time in decades. The Vinylist contains all the vinyl release dates you could need. RC Investigates delves into the curious world of trimicron discs. The Collector this month is Barry ‘Mr Vertigo’ Winton. Value Added Facts focuses on rare Kraftwerk US singles and rediscovers Ronald Snijders. Diggin’ For Gold unearths a Yuletide Fountains Of Wayne single and celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Fania label. In Most Wanted you can buy a collection of NMEs and rare gig posters of Queen and The Rolling Stones.

Things get opinionated with Bob Stanley’s column on misheard lyrics. Neko Case and Paul Kelly are among the Talking Heads. We spend 33 1/3 minutes with Tony Banks, discussing among other things a new compilation of his classical work. Our none-more-comprehensive and authoritative Reviews section opens with a Review Of 2024 and the albums of the year across a variety of genres. In From The Vaults we assess new archive releases from Magazine and George Harrison. Art Garfunkel’s foray with his son and Joan Armatrading’s latest are among the new albums assessed. We also review the latest books and singles while our writers attend, and report on, shows by David Gilmour, Tangerine Dream and Joe Jackson.

Towards the back of the magazine there are various Reader Services including Back Issues, Stockists (incorporating Shop Of The Month), Classified Listings, Gig Guide, and Subscriptions. In Competitions & Crossword you can win a coveted Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band box set. We go Under The Radar with Boys Wonder and into the Engine Room with John ‘Poli’ Palmer. In Birth! School! Work! Death! Midge Ure recalls the records that made him, Finally, in Not Forgotten, Quincy Jones, Shel Talmy and our own James McMahon are among those recently passed.

We’re already hard at work on our January issue, with a cover story on The Yardbirds and in-depth articles on Tim Buckley, The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, The Jesus Lizard, James Carr and the Goldwax label, Sean O’Hagan’s underrated work with Microdisney and The High Llamas, and Glasgow 45s.

Meanwhile, check out our latest Record Collector Presents special editions: Oasis is out now with Record Collector Presents John & Yoko arriving early December. And if you’re looking for that Christmas gift, the all new Rare Record Price Guide 2026 is available in shops and from our website.

RC can be purchased from your local newsagent, our loyal army of record shop stockists, or you can start a subscription or buy individual copies from our shop.

Keep collecting and many thanks for your continued support of Record Collector
