Golf's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! I bloody loved this. Better than Solid Air in my opinion. Cannot believe I walked out of his headline gig at the Bristol Colston Hall in about 1989 after The Blue Aeroplanes played.

Maire's verdict: Really enjoyable.

Golf's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! This was absolutely great fun. Not strictly rock n' roll, but a only one or two degrees off and with much of the same energy and drive. I think much of it was recorded live at one of his gigs. They sound like they were a real draw.

Maire's verdict: A fun start to today's music but not something I'd listen to very often.

Golf's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! Third gem of the day. What else for the album with 'America', 'Mrs Robinson' and 'Hazy Shade of Winter' on it. At the top of their game and knowing it.

Maire's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! Beautiful (despite 'Voices of Old People').
