This fine gentleman has brought us that perfect combo of joy & knowledge, & kept the fine work of his father, TV screenwriter Roger Marshall, alive. A mine of wonderful info, much of it relating to ITC TV series’ such as The Avengers, Department S. Much gratitude, Rodney!

What's an album you heard at age 15 that changed your brain chemistry?

Woodrose Ballroom, Springfield MA. April 1970.
If you can only go to one show, which would it be?

Mood.

Lee Hazlewood - She Comes Running

One of the suavest baritones in the business, in the studio, backed by Wrecking Crew heavyweights such as Hal Blaine, James Burton, Don Randi and Chuck Berghofer.

Taken from the album Love and Other Crimes. This is prime Hazlewood.

Enjoy.

first heard this in 1982 and it became an instant favorite - played it hundreds of times since then - it fits in nicely between Lennon's Plastic Ono Band, Big Star Third, Lou's Berlin, Neil's On The Beach, Nick's Pink Moon and other uplifting delights.

Johnnie Johnstone I think so too. Jones and Charlie cooked up a wonderful cacophony of sound once the vocals faded. Surely the most out there 45 of 1967.

Peak Stones, with sarcastic sentiment, monster riff and Jones’ “panoramic mellotron fanfare” (Stephen Davis) Arguably their best 45.

Tim at his sweetest and most innocent. Lacy, baroque, pure. Shortly before his preference for free jazz, smack and all things carnal began to consume him.
