Some pretty big names in the mix this week, including a small rush of survivors from the American ‘80s underground: shame the Lemonheads’ covers album hasn’t arrived in time to complete the set.
Quite a lot of decent stuff here, anyway, though I may have to take Heaven & Hell (Dio-era Black Sabbath reunited, effectively: joy) in a second because The Gossip’s new album, “Music For Men”, has just been delivered. He’s on about Satan’s daughter already…
