You may recall me raving about this…

Don’t just take my word…

“…the scope is breathtaking…that so many Rail Band alumni went on to become superstars tells you all you need know”

“…greatest, heaviest, guitar record from ‘70s”

“…one of the greatest bands to ever exist”

“…how could one find music with the potential to transform senses…make way for the new consciousness - Pärson Sound was born from these tensions.”

Home for the Andersons was Headwell Rd & Aberdour Rd, Dunfermline (not far from where I now live).

Until his retirement, Ian’s Dad, James Anderson, ran the family business, ‘RSA Boiler Fluid Company’ in East Port, Dunfermline.

Nothing more to add…

Reviews have been mixed, but it’s worth persevering…

Elegant, beautifully shot noir thriller based on the story we know…

Intentionally slow paced, in today’s tv world we are pushed into the story…

We are guided & reeled in…

It’s all about taste, & this suited mine…

The French Connection

A modern Hollywood thriller would need to show redemption for Doyle, explanation for his nickname & gentle backstory, the need for him to be sympathetic.

Not in 1971. His name is Popeye.

That’s it.
